The first hint you played on the second solo sounds like “I’m a Barbie girl”

[@christiankettlewell]

I actually quit smoking about 1 year and 6 days ago. Feels good to say that! Now if only i could solo

[@JA-ut8fi]

Keep it up bro!!

[@charles9571]

If you can quit smoking, you can definitely learn to solo.

[@luminous_9445]

U quite smoking Now u have more time to learn the solo

[@KhemZombi3]

Its been 4 months for me good luck.

[@BenHagenhoff]

​@@KhemZombi3 9 months now hopefully! if not, that's okay, every journey has its setbacks

[@AnAllAroundPlayerMaker]

ngl, this is generally how I solo on my classical guitar. I cannot bend the strings on it.

[@ardaricus1566]

Youre just not bending enough lol

[@Lishwimp]

@@ardaricus1566 nylon strings are less effective to bend, even if you do the similar thing as in an electric guitars, you will only get like one step instead of two (from my personal experience)

[@ardaricus1566]

@@Lishwimp Yeah, I was kinda getting at at that, you can get a full step, if you bend over the entire board :D

[@ulink265]

​@@Lishwimp its not that hard in the 7-12 frets it takes a bit More effort but its doable

[@Arsenije8]

Bro you can do vibrato on strings and similiar to bending the string not the same but similiar...😅

[@malcadorthesigillite2541]

Bro that get off the cigs felt like a personal message. I'm currently struggling with quitting cigs.

[@abalt3019]

The way to do it is to not want to anymore. Have a genuine internal burn for quitting.

[@christiankettlewell]

The way I quit is I realized I was waking up coughing hard every morning and how much it sucked and decided to just be done with it finally. Took a lot of years to get there but I did. And it helps to realize that I’m saving like $600 a year now

[@riddlemaster420]

Same lol

[@abalt3019]

@@christiankettlewell really really bad acid reflux cured me.

[@manan-543]

​@@alextryniski788bruh both of them are harmful. Weed messes with your sleep and makes ur brain slow. Read the research. Also feeling good when your life is sh*t instead of fixing it is just gonna make things bad.

[@darklonermage1]

I love this! I always thought of doing differnt spots for the solo but never the chord progression. Sometime you can not see in front of your face.

[@davineuskens21]

It's like my mom says "if it were a snake, it'd bite me in the face"

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

It was a revelation for me in fiddle. Someone pointed out to me that bluegrass flat pickers basically just hold the cord and add hammer ones and pull is and I was like wait I can do that too. So I just wrote all the notes of the chords and added passing tones between them and viola solo

[@ifradmunir2918]

Wtf! I was smoking cigarettes watching this, and suddenly "Get off the cigarettes"!!😮

[@abalt3019]

Well, you know what to do!

Ya same here dude

[@officialWWM]

This is the best short lesson you will ever see!

[@williechase1]

Dude I’m really digging this guys clips. I’ve talking in person lessons a few times and I get more out of these short clips

[@vaibhav__mishra]

This makes me realise the song "Choo Lo" by "The Local Train" has the same progression, and hence this same solo fits pretty good with the song. Loved the advice 💯

[@TS-so2xi]

I love this guy!

[@ariels33]

Thank you so much for this ❤😊

[@staceygantt3365]

I greatly appreciate your efforts. Because of it people will vastly improve

[@RangKlos]

So good it brings tears to my eyes

[@Fru1tz16]

Sounds great! I love minor progressions on solos, I've been trying to learn more theory (as per your advice) and it's really helped with the creative process of writing and improving music

[@Diasporaliving]

Simple, yet brilliant!

[@markferrari8869]

...one of your better,most useful vids....Thanx.

Cigarettes? That was thirty years ago! The music lesson, Brilliant! 🎸

Holy crap I never thought of this. Thank you ❤

Your playing is so inspirational man!! You've taught me some awesome things this last week!!

[@theeagle.997.]

Brandon brother you are legend,thanks for everything! this thing with cigarettes is brutal 🤣

[@marcellonino1755]

After many years trying to figure out how to solo over chords I finally get it😊, thank you 🙏

[@captainhennahead2323]

I love your videos man!! I'm still a beginner, but I watch the advanced lessons because... I'll get there ..lol.

[@SuneTheMairn]

As a complete amateur who has picked up the guitar again after 15/20 years, your videos really help me

[@Backfireoftheworld]

I love this advice actually. Think I'll grind this skill set for while

[@brianbennett8435]

You nearly killed me! Puffing on a smoke just as you shouted at the end and coughed my lungs out! Good advise on both parts but calm down sir!! 😂

[@KidnapT]

Basically the foundation of chord tones

[@MrJessePillay]

Thank you @brandondeon ,God bless you

[@letsgofishing5238]

smoking a cigarette as I'm watching this, you can't stop me ( i am incredibly weak minded and my bodily desires have control over my spirit)

[@DoubleW_3]

I was about to stand up to go smoke when he screamed it

[@castleanthrax1833]

Q. Do you smoke after sex? A. I dunno, I've never looked. Boom boom. 💥

[@MaxLindstrom.0101]

Yeah, that thing gets you chills.

[@dakotamcmillan]

systems > willpower. if you want to make a change, craft your environment (house, co-workers, friends, media consumption, etc). stay away from being able to buy them. leave your ID at home if you have to go to a place that has them. easier to not eat junk food if you dont buy it or have it in the house. you can also work on discipline but systems usually will win. path of least resistance :)

[@workingmansrevolution]

Great post. Great insight!

[@fatihmelekis]

You da man Brandon!

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thank you very much for sharing! Cheers from Indonesia.

[@craigm2520]

This is a superb lesson and a great way to practice.

[@YechezkelBitter]

I personally memorized where each specific note is on the 5 diatonic positions across the fretboard (where each 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 note is). Then memorized 1st, 3rds and 5ths of chords within a key (and extensions). And combined it while following chord tone rules. This also helps to play any scale if you know the theory because you know where to move a note (for example Harmonic Minor, you just take the 5th note of the major scale up a semitone and use relative minor as tonic).

[@maxdit]

Ending is good❤

[@shaggy1202]

I love it, so funny and so much info !

[@psyyhill]

Playing solo over different progressions is much easier than getting off the cigg! 🙌🏻

[@BurnToshine35]

Excellent !

[@szymondudzinski6661]

Take a look at the solo from "Losing A Whole Year" by Third Eye Blind (their guitarist at the time, Kevin Cadogan, was a bloody genius). If you ignore the weird tuning and crazy wah, he listerally plays one lick four times, just in different positions on the guitar, depending on which chord he's on. Not like he has a lot to choose from - it's just A, E, B and B again

[@michaelcabe1851]

Aloha, and thank you for this wonderful lesson. I love the ending when you shout out. Get off the cigarettes, LOL. Working out that brother, man.

[@nicholashamel2572]

Thanks for the unwarranted cig motivation 😂

[@betoalves6018]

Great!! And thank so much by the advise about cigarretes.

[@nickphaux]

Bro Called me out directly at the end... 💀

[@mdavidhuffman9351]

All early guitarist should learn from this guy(or however) all you can,go and put it in back of mind, improvise and know where on fretboard to finger the sound you hear in head.

[@ryancopetti3850]

Quit cigs since December. Now im 20% closer to nailing my solos. Wish me luck!

[@MilkieAsmr]

Sir yessir!

[@lestalkmorebasss]

😂😂 the attack on the cigs at the end

[@roncallahan40]

That's f n awesome!

[@K9-Crazy]

That was fantastic. Used to play Mostly heavy metal but arthritis made it impossible. My late wife was a concert violist, we had fun just jamming together until she got a severe ear infection in both ears and actually had to have her ear drums removed and replaced with cadaver ear drums 😢. She couldn't hear the notes like before. I miss so much😢. What attracted her to me was the playing and my long hair😂. Still got the hair. So cool seeing young people still shredding!! Im 60. Funny at the moment u said GET OFF THE CIGARETTES" i was taking a hit!! Couldn't stop laughing 😂😂. Keep rocking little brother. GROW YOUR HAIR!! 😂😂

😢 I don’t understand how people can use their hands and fingers to produce that sweetness and melodies. I am still struggling to at least make a single simple solo over a chord progression. I am stuck with the basics chords, triads, and major scale. What I should do?

[@crmstudiosbc]

Lmao was smoking when I saw this...yea I gotta quit and work on my solos more 🤣

[@mixen24]

Funny how as i learn guitar i get more and more of theese shorts, 1 month ago it was gibberish to me

[@aleksandarradak5131]

Basically learn triads of major and minor chords and your good to go

[@robgreenwood6939]

I got off the cigarettes, my solos still suck! Got any more great advice 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mel2thegibson]

So is the key to improvising solos learning different chords that work with each other and playing the notes solely within those chords?
