Great lesson. Explains why a note in a scale may be dis-cord-ant against the notes of a chord in that key.👏

After far too many decades struggling to create solos, finally the key - practice putting it together - plus a framework for doing so! Truly inspiring! Thanks Charlie!

[@martynspooner5822]

This is such a special lesson, how I wish I was even aware of this stuff long ago but so happy to learn as much as I can now. Thanks a lot really appreciated.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Thanks so much for your support. 🙏🎶🎸🤘🏻

[@kenkelly382]

Mind blowing lesson. Avoiding the E note when playing over the G chord and focusing on the A & E over the Am and the E & G over the C chord. Makes so much sense. Duh, I've never heard that before. This lesson is an absolute game changer. Thank you.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

So glad there’s stuff you can use in there!! 🎶🎸🤘🏻🔥

[@patrickblay7684]

Thank you very much for this lesson. I really appreciated the part over different devices 1 3 4 5 etc…but also regretted that the notes are always past the 12 th fret which means very treble. Thank’s for your didactic teaching.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Thanks for taking the time to comment!! There’s only so much time in a video to present material, so I tried to keep things in a general area. This stuff can be used all over the fretboard though 🎸🎶🤘🏻

[@carloscorreia1721]

Amazing!!!! Thank You so much!!!!

Someone already said it...but your videos have so much great content, this video alone could keep me busy for months...and likely even longer! Congrats on almost reaching 20k subscribers! 👊🏼

Thanks so much my friend!! 🤘🏻🎶🎸🔥

[@DannyOklamchak-nn8rj]

Charlie. Great stuff here. Love the lessons. If i could have my cake and eat it too. I would ask for you to give us some timing tips along with these licks and ideas in this video. It is difficult to know exactly how many notes to throw in a bar. Thanks for sharing this great insight

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

That’s a great point! Thanks for the comment! 🎸🎶🤘🏻🙏

[@andercoyote4170]

This lesson is pure gold!! Thx Charlie!

I have electric guitars at home for about 30 years. Never really learned playing them. Have many learning books and CD's . Other priorities in live. Now I'm retired I have loads of free time and picking them up again. And now we have the Internet and KZbin. At the moment I'm learning faster and more then ever then in the past 30 years. But things get complicated very fast for beginners. Seasoned teaching gitarist should realized that nothing in guitar playing is simple. I still struggle with hitting the right strings and notes for example (basic pick and frethand coordination). To have more fun in learning now, I use (blues) backing tracks in E minor only and play simple riffs over that (in E minor Pentatonic). Works great and sounds much better than the classic pentatonic playing exercises I see so often. That's so boring. For learning riffs I use small round collared stickers on the fret board for fast orientation on the note positions. And just for the notes I use!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

So glad you’re playing and best of luck with it!!!

[@Faltermeyer123]

Another amazing lesson Charlie!!🤘

[@axler5258]

Hi Charlie, this is really the perfect lesson for me but one thing that is troubling me is why you use a sharpened 4th on the Cmajor chord? Appreciate any feedback my friend. greetings.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Hey man!!! So, the chord progression is in G major…. G major has an F# in it. So when we play over the C chord that F# equates to the sharp 4…basically we’re playing Lydian mode over the C chord!! Hope that helps!!

[@axler5258]

Thanks Charlie, so just for my understanding, if we played exactly the same in A major then when we play over the D major chord we would then play D# to give it a Lydian feel? Is it wrong to play the normal 4th in this case?@@CharlieLongGuitar

[@axler5258]

Hi Charlie, please ignore this comment. I finally got it when I realized that it is just the chord and not the whole scale that fits into Gmajor. Sorry about that, at my age it takes a while sometimes for things to sink. Regards, Craig.

Best instruction on internet. Hot nail on head. Need triads

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Wow thanks!!! I really appreciate that. Rock on!! 🤘🏻 🎸🎶🙏

[@AnthonySmith-cp7yc]

The opening speech almost put me off playing for good 😂

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Oh no - not the intention 🙂. When I talk to students/players it’s one of the most common things I hear; how do I put all this stuff together?? Thanks for watching and commenting 🎸🎶🤘🏻

[@DanaDeerwester]

What are the chords for Minor keys? Thanks Charlie 👏💜🤍💙❤

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Chords are the same as the relative major - the order just changes. The vi chord (relative minor) becomes the i minor

[@DanaDeerwester]

@@CharlieLongGuitar thanks Charlie!! 👏👏💜🤍💙❤

[@NotBenCoultry]

The only question that remains is "what does 'B.M.T.' stand for?"

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Ha! I don’t know!!! I bought the guitar from someone who had just had it built…guessing it’s his initials?? 🎸🎶🤘🏻

[@NotBenCoultry]

Well then I'm going with "Bad MotherTrucker"@@CharlieLongGuitar

Hey I must say , you are a great 👍 teacher .. No one teaches like this! You really help me organize my thoughts when trying to arrange a song ! Thank you ! 🙏

[@satchrules101]

Question what if each chord is playing long measures is it harder to write longer lines more think about ? Also when come up with these phrases are u always aware that you have only one bar or 2 bars of each chord?

[@davidbrandt6925]

Another way is to think in your mind and hear the melody that you want to hear. Play a drum track in your mind and use the instrument in your head to play. Find the notes on your guitar and then write them as sheet music. The music will come from your soul. Frank Zappa recommends reading music too.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

Cool comment!!! 🎸🤘🏻🎶🔥

I need to put things together, my downfall!

Guitar is the easiest instrument to play , but the hardest instrument to play well !!
