15 Minutes To Better Solos - Guitar Lesson - Melodic Soloing Tips and Tricks

[@AnthonyJarrah]

This is the most useful lesson I've watched on KZbin and I've watched a lot! Thank you brother!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad to help!

[@jayanthavasarala]

I agree

[@AI3JeWelz]

I agree, its so good

[@dandaniel439]

Totally agree.

[@dnantis]

Brett ! Thank you so much !!! This is the REAL way to understand and master the CAGED system !! I knew this system but never understood how to use it !! Now you turned the switch ON in my brain and my eyes to figured out all. Now I'm motivated again !! You are a true MAESTRO ! THE PAPÁ of ALL PAPÁS !!! Thanks

[@1247home]

Your teaching style is soooooo simple to understand, yet, AWESOMELY BRILLIANT! Thanks Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it!

[@larry.k]

BEST video I've seen. Not only how to do it but what and why!! Now I can play chords with scale tones thrown in and scales with chord tones! Just add the minor third, F#m, in the Am form, and you have I, iim, IV, V, ivm and the pentatonic scale all in one place. Now to add other positions and more chords. You opened up a whole new dimension for me. Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@guitarmemoir]

I have said it before, the best conceptual guitar instructor on YT. Not a compliment, just an observation. I finally understand the point of the CAGED system. So simple. Yet in every CAGED tutorial I have watched there was never enough practical application for it to be useful to me(despite watching entire series on the topic). Yet in this video, which didn't even focus on teaching the system, there was. That says a lot, even though it was the second time I watched it. Many thanks, you are a great teacher...that was a compliment. ;-)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching!

[@andykeith780]

self taught dudio here - ive had friends alot better then me and watched hours of YT tutorials to find this gem of someone just explaining the basic structure on how things work - no riff raff, no intimidating theory, and for gods sake no click bait IE actual help. It's unbelievable how many videos are this exact same thumbbnail but manage to literally say absolutely nothing in 15 minutes. You managed to cover the fundamentals of scale structure, key tones, triads, and do it coherently, no BS, as well as even kick start the viewers to start getting into the theory of it all. From myself, and the past two years of myself, thank you. Wish more videos were like this - teaching the whole concept via fundamental knowledge and technique with no BS :)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man! Glad you got something out of the video! Thanks for watching!

[@antonioaversa1418]

I've been playing for over 20 years just for fun. What you just showed me proves that I'm dong the right thing. Good lesson. Thanks.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! That is the point, having fun is what it's all about!

[@MJCaf]

love your teaching, your positive energy and your laugh :)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Thanks for checking out the vids!

[@markgeorge2069]

certainly one of the best instructors on the internet! Also the most fun, melodic pentatonic guitarist i've seen.

[@kevingasch6101]

One of the better lessons I have seen on KZbin. Really made me understand what I needed to do to improvise! THANK YOU!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Thanks for checking it out!

[@matiaspepe5068]

For beginners the licks are pretty advanced. Thumbs up for the good explanation on finding the different notes on all 5 positions of the pentatonic. Keep up the awesome work!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank ya!

[@AnthonyPitt]

22 years of playing and full time guitarist/bassist here. Mad props and love the lesson. I hate that i just 'noodle' in the right pentatonic or mode but have been ignoring the actual chord tones for my target notes over each chord. cheers sir! sharing this for my musician buddies

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome sir! Glad it helped you out! Thanks so much for sharing it!

[@hmbkwill]

I've watched a ton of your videos, this one has been instrumental in my progression. You're the man. I wish I could take a lesson in person.

[@SimonfromAus]

I wanted to say that I passed over your videos first time around, but I am so glad I came back to give them a second shot. I am trying to teach myself guitar online, and I found that I really appreciate your teaching style. It makes learning a lot more interesting than other online lessons which I find can be really dry. Thanks so much for your efforts.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks for coming back to check it out!

[@guitarDad100]

That was a great lesson. Very comprehensive but easy to follow. I am going to have to look at it a second time to make sure I fully remember it. Thanks for posting all these great instructional videos.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

[@garrickpridemore413]

Holy matrimony, I feel like around the 9:00 mark, my understanding of soloing improved like 10 fold. I understood the CAGED system somewhat but wow, this put things into perspective. I am soloing better instantly now. Cant thank you enough Brett!!

[@BrettPapa]

That is awesome! lad the video is helping! Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@kevinhunt5362]

Papastache, I have learned so much off you and Marty. Both of you are great teachers. Lessons like this and your Hendrix blues lessons have opened a lot of doors for me. Thankyou.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome :)

[@passscalll]

The most understandable way to explain your feeling for music to me. Big like and thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you! Glad they work for you.

[@guitarmemoir]

If there is a better conceptual instructor on YT I haven't seen him. Great job.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you like the videos!

[@guitarmemoir]

More than welcome. No one is more useful(to me) illustrating the concept of combining major/minor. You have a knack for it. You put up a small amount of incredibly useful illustrations that allow me to work on the concepts for many hours off of a 10-20 minute lesson. That is substance. I like the content, I like the approach and I like the presentation...beyond that though....;-) Thanks again. You have no idea how useful your lessons have been to me.

[@rickd1466]

Personable and down to earth...you, Marty & Tim are the best teachers.

[@BrettPapa]

Thank ya! Thanks for watching!

[@Th3_ENGINE3R]

I am at the level where I understand enough so that what you teach is like light bulbs going off everywhere! I then proceed to get lost in my guitar for another 7 hours straight. My level of understanding and your teaching method is perfect match. Love your videos.

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Glad I could help out! Love to hear lightbulbs are going off, that's when the fun begins!

[@TallFaceUK]

Thanks from the UK! This got me really thinking about not just noodling over the blues scale. Been playing for years and stuck in my ways! Great way to change things up. Top man!

I know it seems like a little detail, but pointing to your fretting finger with your right hand is a huge help in locating those notes! That avoids all the confusing chatter...' 3rd string 10th fret ring finger' BS.....thank you!
