Stop NOODLING: A Guitar Soloing Hack So SIMPLE, Its GENIUS!

[@tomdac]

Wow. This is great. Can’t wait to try some of this. THANK YOU.

To be able to draw or paint something, you must first be able to imagine the picture. The same applies with playing music, composing and improvising. This is a law that you can't ignore!

[@SwinginBluesTube]

That sounds great. Thanks for the lesson.

This is precisely what's missing in today's music and guitar players! Great job shedding light on this issue maybe more people will learn how to play music instead of sounding like they're reading out of a dictionary to communicate. I was in that trap for years. Look forward to applying what you share to add to my enjoyment of music as well

Great lesson Charlie!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@schrammguitars thanks so much David!!! Hope you are well! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@danbosch-]

I tend to stay in the key of the first chord of the progression part I start on when I start soloing over. I will change position, to cover the area of a chord underneath in a barre shape, but always stay in the same key as the first chord I start to jam over. Is that too boring of a strategy? It seems to work ok enough, but I can't help but to feel like there may be a better way that may open up more notes. Apologies for such a dumb question.

Really great instruction. I can't wait to try! Thanks. I will work hard to duplicate all aspects of this presentation. I will check back when I am confident I have mastered this. That will probably be a couple birthdays 😊 Thanks again!

Inspiring lesson and great playing and tone! Santana is a master at these techniques.

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@dowaliby1 thanks!! And yes - Carlos is a force of nature! 🎸🎶🔥

[@curtpozzi5527]

Going from the 2nd to bend to the 3rd on that triad lick on strings 1,2 and 3 gives a Gary Moore vibe. Carving guitar...you had that one for a while!

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@curtpozzi5527 good ears - that’s a “still got the blues” lick! That Carvin is 11 years old now - it’s been a great guitar!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸

[@curtpozzi5527]

@CharlieLongGuitar Carvin ( now Kreisel) namely isn't around anymore. Thank you for that "lightbulb" moment of bouncing back and forth from simple triads to P entatonics on this and that chord changes! I'm gonna try to tie that together some things on my fretboard( to untangle and demystify) It! I'll crowbar in a BB /Albert or even Freddie King box for that matter too! I picked up on you a couple months ago and subbed back then. You are definitely one of those good effective teachers and not bury the students in academics like Prof. Von Scalemeister!😂

[@braxal6983]

Charlie, I am so amazed how you show these techniques. Do you do private lessons?

[@topherbarrow4631]

Great video! Key word in this video is "tools". That's all theory is.

[@tREVVA1]

👏 Amazing! Not that they aren't already enough on their own, are there any other strategic tool combinations we ought to know about/consider in addition to the demonstrated Triad-Pentatonic? 😃

[@CharlieLongGuitar]

@@tREVVA1 sure!! Major scale fragments…7th arpeggios….and mix it up with blues licks too!! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
