How to Solo Over Chord Changes

[@MusicisWin]

All the content in this lesson is expanded on in depth in my course Guitar Super System at guitarsupersystem.com

Yo bro can you buy individual lessons??

[@g3petrucci]

....what a solo..if it was written by a famous guitarist it would have gone in the top 100 list of greatest guitar solos...

[@Mist_R]

Facts. I've been coming back to this vid over the years since it came out just for the solo, still as good as I remember.

Great! Finally someone makes clear, how important triads are. So underrated! I really had difficulties to remember all the different scales and modes at the beginning and I was about getting up. Triads helped me alot and now my whole playing is based on triads. It helped me to use the whole fretboard while playing/improvising. I rarely use scales and modes anymore.

I waited too long to sign up to your "Guitar Super System" channel. I should have done much sooner. You are a fabulous teacher that captures the heart & soul of Sweet Melodic Music. Stay healthy so you can expand our minds.

[@maverickdoe6984]

Geez! That solo at the end...just freakin' awsome!

[@nathanialblower9216]

This D minor chord can be accessed by triads. Which triads? The D minor triads. There’s more than one D minor triad? There’s the D minor triad and all its inversions. Those are different triads? Well, they’re all the same triad actually. And is the D minor triad the same as the D minor chord? Mos definitely, that’s why it works! So we can access the D minor chord by using the D minor chord? You bet!

[@masterman9876543]

You say "THE" D minor chord as if there's only one way to play the chord. The open D minor chord most commonly taught just happens to also be one of the D minor triads; even though there are multiple ways to play both the chord and the triad

[@ericcrapton8187]

It’s the same everywhere on the neck just different voicings.. DFA (and C if you wanna be fancy and the minor 7th is appropriate)

[@otallono]

Well.. he's trying to sell his paid lessons without teaching much in the free ones. But that's when we take the keywords he uses and look for more detailed lessons elsewhere on KZbin. Not saying he doesn't deserve to charge anything for better lessons but I'm broke now that I'm married with kids and if something is available for free I gotta take that option. If the lessons were in person then I'd understand. That's why I pay for movies in a theater but at home I just download em for free. Different experience, different way of getting the material.

[@konradgarus]

​@@otallono No way, someone's trying to make money on quality stuff they've built!

[@TheLucidDreamer12]

@@masterman9876543 That's literally how jazz musicians operate. They don't treat inversions as inversions despite playing a bajillion of them.

[@patrickmehr3219]

6 month ago I couldn't even tell you what a triad was, now that my playing has developed I see the they are one of the most important things in soloing/improvisation and they help you free your playing up too, thanks Tyler!!!

[@adameury60]

Can't wait until you make an album. You always come up with amazing demos that I wish were much longer!

[@cmbestkey8114]

I still don’t understand how to solo over chord progressions... but cool video I guess

[@maurocabezas3920]

TRIADS MY FRIEND. TRIADS OF EACH CHORD !!!

[@ogawasan5581]

Here is a little hint , learn the caged system and learn how to play chords using it , for both minor chords and major chords , this will teach you how to play every chord ( chord = triad ) all over the fretboard , this changed my soloing like crazy .

[@cmbestkey8114]

I tried using triads to solo over chords. Sounded gross... so idk what to do

[@johnny2timesthe3rd]

relative major and minor chords important too

[@aswathjacob]

Well, he didn't explain enougj

Watching it back after 7 years.. can't believe how far ive come. Thank you tyler for all the videos it inspired me so much ❤

[@simontemplar3359]

Many people looked at their guitars that day and just sighed. That was insanely brilliant. Melodic playing is a big goal for me, and that was inspiring and amazing. Thank you for what you do.

[@ClayJarvisGuitar]

I am a subscriber and have watched several of your videos but I have to say that he Arpeggio sequence you do at the end is TRULY MIND BLOWING. I would love to know how you are playing that! It sounds to me like it is over an A7 chord. However in the lesson you are saying it over an EDim7 chord. Either way, it SOUNDS AMAZING! I've been playing over 30 years and am passionate about lead guitar. I just started my you tube channel "Clay Jarvis Guitar" and i'm trying to learn everything I can to improve my lead skills and have the most success with my teaching and success on KZbin. I'm definitely inspired by watching your videos and your skills. Thank you!

[@V8LC100]

I'm learning triads as my home base but remembering and jumping to all positions so quickly will take a lot of practice. However to see your solo in this clip it's inspiring to work towards. Cheers from Australia mate 👍

[@chi3knees]

Bro. I was about to be like, give me less words more play, then, I finished the vid and was blown away. Well freakin played sir. Ur obviously a satriani/ vai fan. Well done bro seriously thanks. Got a new subscriber here.

[@shooteroffuture]

God, when are you gonna come up with an album we can enjoy listening to as much as this solo. It's like the tenth time I'm listening to it and still just as awesome!

[@TreysGuitarverse]

Thank you man! This one lesson has really brought the way I think about music closer together more than ever. Thank you for your hard work. Cool staff🐥

[@mayk3lll]

That flick of the switch to the bridge pickup just before the harmonic.. smooth!!!!!

[@Billy-ho5ms]

Stunned by your talent! Wow

[@Gyseli]

Seldom do I hear something as mesmerising as that last solo! As a huge John Mayer, M.Knopfler, K.Urban and B.Paisley fan - I still found that solo to be some of the greater stuff I've heard. Melodic, slow, fast and lovely! Just found your channel, but count me in - I'm coming back for more!

[@HELLNO10]

Dude, I'm huge fan of your work! You really think out of the box when it comes to produce guitar videos on internet. Please, keep them coming! Greetings from Brazil.

[@Sonicexpres]

dude, this was HANDS DOWN the best playing I've seen from you. well done

[@jhutt8002]

Hey, I'd like to ask you a question. First of all, I'm rhythm guitarist foremost, so I have not that much experience soloing, and I'm mainly learning it. The approach haveI is pretty different of system you do. What I do is: I've learned the places of notes of fretboard, so I know where root is with each chord. Then I know where minor / major thirds are relative to that root (string up and half step / whole step down) and where fifths are. (obvious from 5 chord shape). What I do is to relate every note I play to these pivot points, trying to follow the progression. So all I need to remember when soloing is the root, and where the progression is going. I think the main obstacle from there is to just practice how the intervals fit, but what do you think? Sorry for the long post... I welcome opinion and thought :)

[@keithrevst692]

You are becoming one of my favorite you tubers. You play so effortlessly, and your tone is unique.

[@ado011235]

[@Demka03]

A have a question. Lets imagine, we have a Dm Em F chord progression. Does it mean,that when I heard a Dm - I just can play a Dm scale? Or D dorian? Same with a next chord, and so on?

[@isaacbernardez6193]

lots of chords and scales, even if they're in a different key share notes so depending of the chords, you could choose to simply play in one key that shares notes with the other chords. but if u have the knowledge its good to chase the chords tho haha

[@isaacbernardez6193]

i think that's wat ur asking right?

[@gokharol]

@@isaacbernardez6193 im a beginner to scales, but wouldnt it be safer to just stick around to the song's key?

[@isaacbernardez6193]

@@gokharol yep for sure! freestyling one scale over the key of a song is always good! chord chasing (where you change scales every chords) is more advanced, and for certain songs like Giant Steps its pretty crazy haha, but a good goal to have! and ittle show ur prowess haha

[@cuanstretch6726]

that solo at the end😍

[@Benji2N]

OK I've watched a ton of your vids, and downloaded/am using the Super System. And this video gets me very close to understanding, but I'm not quite there. I have a suggestion that may help me or others in my position. Can you make a video where you do like "Directors Commentary" as you're soloing? So take the solo at the end of this video, and just talk over it with what is going through your head as the chords change. I'm struggling because I know D minor pentatonic will work over the entire progression, but I also know that E Mixolydian will work during the E7 chord. In your head, are you going "OK here comes E Mixolydian, let's find some notes that fit" or is it more like "OK staying within D minor, what notes can I add in from E Mixolydian for some color." And if it's the first one, do you worry about making the melody somewhat linear or do you put a hard stop on whatever you were thinking in D minor, and start fresh wherever you want during E7? Let me know if this makes sense at all, it's becoming less and less clear in my head the more I talk about it

[@fim1344]

Benji2N Did you figure it out? I have the same problem

[@nayanjomi5966]

Benji2N how much did it cost man for the guitar super system I'm thinkin of buying it

[@bradleyfunkhouser7782]

I'm sad no one answer this question. Did you figure out your answer I'm wondering too

[@jamesstewart3239]

I also seek this highly prized information

[@phillee3653]

I think a lot more work goes into improvising than trying to use a D minor pentatonic over the entire progression. Over a given chord, there are notes that are going to sound better against it than others. Understanding the relationship between the notes i.e. root, third, fifth etc. is far more important than the mindset of "what scale do I use here?" The reason using triads is effective is the relationship of the arpeggiated notes against the tonic of the chord. Those 1st, 3rd, and 5th scale degrees are going to sound better against whatever your tonic is. The challenging part is that the tonic shifts i.e. chord changes. So, the "safe notes" are constantly shifting. There isn't really a one size fits all scale. Take all this with a pinch of salt. The process of improvising seems like a daunting one to me, and I've put it off for a long time.

[@jeffmoestaygyi.1248]

I’m doing the tomo Fujita guitar music course, single best thing I’ve ever done for my playing it will help you grasp concepts like this that Tyler is talking about. Haven’t tried the course but considering he talks about it tomo I’m guessing it’s great.

[@Somewhere-in]

Your memory is insanely brilliant! Being great in the guitar takes firstly a great memory and then being able to apply what you've learned. Most good musicians are very clever and have brains that could be used for high level maths or science

[@otallono]

if you practice something enough, you're going to remember it. Doesn't mean you could then do high level math.

[@-Jones]

Bryan Yeah, but it depends how much you need to play something to remember it.

[@bozalaysecacarlos]

Hey my friend, one question, how you make that acoustic tone when you show the progression? I tried something like that with many devices (AC-3, Variax, etc) and nothing sounds like that!

[@PhottMusic]

That was legit one of the best solos I've heard from you, it was fucking fantastic!

[@jrsguitars4579]

This was a fantastic video, short, but really detailed. I think this will really help my solo writing, and improve my music, so thank you!

[@rextrowbridge8386]

This is how I naturally learned. I never like sticking to one key while soloing. I learned before then internet got huge, back when it was just kinda guessing how they did it by ear

[@christofferkofoed4798]

what a beautiful clean sound

[@duck790406]

it's really useful !!! This solved the problem that has troubled me for many years

[@johnnybalvuena4993]

First thing I learned from another self taught guitarist is learn a scale, learn the slide from up and down the neck hitting key notes if needed. Find the chords the chorus or the riff is on. Usually the first chord or third to last chord is what I choose to solo over because it's matching and following the chords one way or another

[@johnnybalvuena4993]

In other words hit a power chord anywhere, and run a scale on that same fretting area

[@xinfamousgruntx]

I've been playing guitar for almost 8 years now I started out learning what everyone does Metallica and all the other bands that seem to have a catchy tune to them and/ or a recognizable one like all the classic rock band ACDC Led Zeppelin Etc after about the three or four-year Mark I started to dabble in my own stuff I looked up music theory for about a year and sorta understood what was going on but could not figure out doing lead solo over chord progressions I gave up guitar entirely for about a year until I figured it out a theory of my own I bought a Looper pedal but less than a hundred bucks it also had some other effects as well but I wrote some small ribs very very repeatable one and just pulled around on the guitar neck for a few hours doing whatever sound good even if it's out of the same scale kind of like what Dimebag Darrell does in wing it with a little of my own taste in there maybe some inspiration I kind of feel like cooking and learning an instrument it's the same you can take some inspiration and old recipes but nothing is going to be original unless it's your own work so my tips is learn scales especially the basics learn as many chords as possible buy a Looper pedal and go from there if you want to be more technical diving to music theory it's a whole nother World instead of just doing what sounds right follow certain ideals that make it why and how it sounds right in what areas you can explore with it Sorry for any bad grammar I'm using text-to-speech off my phone

[@prat6125]

you've answered what to do ,but not how to do it. im still confused

Learn the CAGED system, then use triads to solo over chords. It's a simple concept, it just takes practise.
