Life-changing Advice that FIXED my Fear of "Boring Guitar Solos"

[@SolidBuildersInc]

This really has been a Guitar settling moment in my 1.5 years of playing. I am glad I can continue to think about what I am doing logically and my fingers can keep up with this concept. Let the Melodic Phrases Begin Thank You 😅

[@guarapo66]

I’ve been watching a couple of your videos , what I like is that your are not just the common guitar teacher but the once frustrated guitarist that was able to understand the language of music and teaching it from that perspective, I first started in 99 so am that frustrated guitarist 😅 all skills but 0 musicality 😭 I have been learning music theory and getting to understand the language of music and it’s a night and day difference now, sadly am not that teenager with lots of free time but videos like this help us a lot, thanks

If I'd had this explained to me 5 years ago by my (then) Guitar Teacher, I'd be a far better player today. Brilliant lesson. Explained perfectly. Thank you!

Imagine how great you will be in 2029...😊

This was the best explanation and description of chord tone soloing that I've seen on YT so far. A lot of other channels tell you to play the 1,3,5,b7 etc, then they play melodically and don't show that you mix the other notes of the scale that you're using with the chord tones. Very good instructions.

Fantastic clarity in this lesson, Eddy. Beautiful guitar tone. Will you say how you set up this sound. I just love it. Thanks.

GMM has jumped my playing abilities enough that I finally pulled the trigger and bought a les paul to replace the one stolen back in 76. Ì finally think I can progress to lead from rhythm. It's all due to the great lessons like this one. Thank you Eddie!

[@PeterLucibelli]

Excellent teacher, making solos sing instead of just notes within a scale

[@Nicholask85]

💯

[@MrJoshuabauer]

Thank you sir... you provided me with the ability to have a breakthrough moment

[@realjumper]

Yep...this takes time to accomplish....time and practice. I'm not there yet, but I'm enjoying the ride. Thanks so much for this :)

[@squeakybootproductions]

Sounds like Santana to me. All day long! Love it! TNX

[@baruchben-ami6032]

Eddie, I imensly enjoy your teaching style. Thank you for all that i've learnt from you and sharing your knowledge with me

[@PURPLE_SHADE_SMOOTHIE]

This vid is the break-thru in understanding I’ve been looking for

[@RonFoxhoven]

Thank you for the insight. Exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been with GMM for a couple of years now and this may be the missing link that ties it all together.

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Wow! Huge lightbulb just exploded! As you were going through this lesson, I could hear in my head the notes I would play. I’ve always shied away from modes cause they seemed so daunting. Not now. Correct me if I’m wrong but, I hear a real Gary Moore influence here. Parisian Walkways or Still got the blues for you? I’m so going to practice this now. Aeolian is killer. Outstanding lesson and presentation Eddie! BTW, I’m a VIP member.

[@Gangster2God]

It is good seeing a fellow guitarist who can appreciate the wisdom of both music and faith. Even though this stuff is something I have known for a while, I decided to give you a thumbs up for your bold and very clear expression of faith! Rock on and God Bless!

[@GuitarGroove-p9p]

Great Video. - Target notes etc is always something I struggle with on the fly ( hence revert to scales etc)

[@chrisc1011]

Light 💡 moment thank you for sharing this.

[@peggylynnmilton]

Great lesson !! Thank you sooo much !!!! Buddy

[@bobbymauro3721]

Love your content dude! As a piano player who’s usually only played rhythm guitar I rarely tackled lead because I simply couldn’t wrap my head around the visualization of the notes on the neck. I finally mustered up the courage to develop this skill. In the beginning I mostly stuck with the pentatonic scale by adding some passing chromatic notes for flavour. I recently worked in some of the natural minor scale which opened up my phrasing to some cool Jimmy Page themes. Combining this with some rhythmic elements has helped me sound better. Totally agree that playing over the chord changes makes one sound mature and experienced. I just have to find the right melodic balance. Thanks for the tips!

[@savaii4menow]

Loving this lesson. Thank You

[@JimistarMarak]

Good lesson unkle 👍

[@carpetpro9903]

Excellent job, thank you!

[@alexanderbammert]

Great lesson!

[@killedbycoconuts]

Thx Eddie!

[@garycrant4511]

Really like your sustained tone, how some notes bloom into subtle near feedback. Please let us know your hardware/software overdrive FX & amp chain. Thanks..

[@berniarmstrong]

Great lesson, well explained. I'm already signed up for GMM, but I hadn't found this video yet. Hey, I 've got a couple of questions though... NOT related to the lesson. Is that cool looking slim waisted instrument hanging on the wall behind you a Tenor Guitar? Or a Parlour Guitar ? What make is it?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

Thank you! It's a 1953 Sylvia parlor guitar. I believe it was a student guitar back then. It has been modified with a rubber bridge and has a muted, thumpy sound that I like.

[@clayatube]

Not gonna lie. I thought you were Trey Hensley. Like the videos. Thanks. Keep it up.

[@OnwardAndEdward]

He’s an amazing player!

[@8gRaceTeam]

Can you make a video from the players point of view so when i watch & look down at my guitar i see the exact same thing .

[@rogerspalding5673]

Eddie, you certainly get my attention on each of your videos. You're one of the finest player/instructors I have encountered on the net. But, I was wondering about the medal you wear on your necklace. Is this a religious medal?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

Thanks for the kind words, Roger! And yes, it’s an orthodox cross ☦️

[@johnCjr4671]

Natural Minor right ?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

Yes!

[@revzone3544]

What model PRS is that?

[@OnwardAndEdward]

It’s a Brent Mason model from 2014!

[@Larrymh07]

Aren't chord tones the same thing as an arpeggio?

[@LowKickMT]

triads yes

[@Larrymh07]

@LowKickMT Thank you

[@chrisclayton584]

seems like step one is to learn and memorize all of the notes.

Nope haven't felt musicly intelligent since grandmas lizard crawled out of the place darkness lives.
