Chord Tone Soloing Within The Pentatonic Scale Guitar

[@Coda6766]

This is a great lesson!! I have been taking guitar lessons for almost a year. I sometimes check out YT lessons. I can't believe I am just now discovering Rusty's channel. Glad I did, I'm learning scales and theory and this is exactly what I was looking for. Rusty seems like a very good teacher.

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Steve, I’m glad you found my channel! It sounds like you’re really moving forward. Thanks a lot for this kind comment! Enjoy your Christmas and new year holiday!🙏

[@gergemall]

I hear you amigo

[@kennypayton8833]

Man I love the tone of a Strat. Beautiful

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks, Kenny! I appreciate that! Enjoy your Christmas and new year holiday👍

[@jimlutz8092]

A perfect lesson in the Blues, where simple things like just one extra note for each chord added to a lone pentatonic first-position scale can make all the difference.

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Jim, I’m glad you got something from the lesson! Fun stuff! Have a merry Christmas and happy new year! Thanks for your support🙏

[@fenderbender3478]

Thanks Rusty and my best wishes to you and your family.

Really like the feel of this solo.with lots of space and timing. I am going to learn this note for note. Thanks Rusty

[@rustysguitar1]

I had fun making this video and playing that solo! I hope you do also! Thanks so much for checking in👍

[@realjumper]

For me, the fundamental requirements are 1) knowing the notes on the fingerboard, and 2), knowing the notes of the chords concerned. That's a LOT of learning, but (imo) it's crucial to great improvising. I'm a long way from that knowledge, in fact I have to do the research and write down the notes of the chords and kind of plot out my solo ahead of time. So it's not improvising for me (yet), it's more like composing I suppose. But the interesting thing is, when I do just improvise and let myself get absorbed in the moment, I find that many of the notes that I use are just as you mentioned in the last lesson.....that is to say that I am starting the phrase and ending the phrase on a chord tone, by complete accident. I record myself and go back over what I have just done, and I am amazed to find that my ear is working quite well in steering me to the 'right' notes to start and end on!! I have a long way to go....but this journey is full of surprises, and it's pure magic. THANK YOU Rusty.....you have made such a difference to my playing this year. Have a wonderful break over the festive season, and Play it Loud!

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Neil, well said buddy! You will be improvising on a fly in no time! You are definitely working on the right techniques. Maybe just composing now but those sounds will come out faster and faster. I really appreciate all your support over these last few years! I hope you have a great Christmas and new year holiday my friend. Thanks so much.🙏

[@BadassBrutusGuitar]

Always good to add some chord tone magic.... Awesome tutuorial Rusty! Happy Christmas and a healty and sane 2024 (and beyond) It's great to know you my friend! Bert

Thanks Rusty...when you play over the B9 in the last demo piece (around 9:50) where you slide from the D to Dsharp and then hit the F# on the e string, that's for the B9, right, then you move to the A9 chromatically quickly, heading back to the E?
