The Truth About Guitar Solos

[@gtr1952]

The more you play, and the longer you play you build a personal library of licks, riffs and fills. Its your personal identity as a guitar player. The way you do bends, pull offs, hammer on's, vibrato also. It becomes your guitar voice. We're all a little different. JMHO... 8) --gary

i think 99.99% of the time this is correct. I saw an interview with Nuno Bettencourt where he had the opportunity to plug in and use Eddie Van Halen's rig. Nuno played a few minutes - and came to the conclusion that he sounded like Nuno Bettencourt playing Eddie's rig!!! Your favourite gear can enhance your playing, but for the most part it's all in the hands - and your heart. Develop your own style and enjoy yourself. Break the rules! There's no right or wrong answer. Peace & love to all 😉

Thank You Sean for providing instruction beyond beginner. Plus your personality carries your videos over and above.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Really interesting take on what makes a solo! Great Q&A

[@DekkMassen]

Yes this is definitely helpful

[@garywall1572]

If the the Marks brothers had taught music on their movies as well as just played it, well, Sean you would be perfect to play one of them. They were absolute magic and so are you. Great videos well done and thankyou.

[@DarrenRayYagle]

I love how you are starting from open position to explain guitar solo approach. Relating it to the chords and then building melody! Great video!👍

[@drewdietz2115]

so clear on the Em pentatonic, thanks my man..... And accompanying players, love it.

[@Hythlodaeus69]

That Sacramento kings sweatshirt earned a subscribe (oh and your profound and quirky teachings)

[@geralynpalacol9295]

Wow, you’re a GENIUS on the Fretboard!!!!!! Thanks Sean Daniel🙏😍🎉. (Looking forward to the day, i can play like you). GOD Bless you!

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

This is the most helpful channel on KZbin

[@tishaanants]

I'm learning to solo and ur video is so helpful. Thanks a bunch 💜

[@acousticknights9654]

This is an amazingly solid look at soloing with the different modes. I definitely enjoy the flavor it adds

[@JimLarranaga5k]

If you're soloing in one position as the underlying harmony (chords) change underneath you, it will add harmonic color to your notes. Rather than always hopping around to keep with the changes, try playing in a spot an notice how the color of what you play changes.

[@rkoz55]

Relative minor of the key chord, minor pentatonic solo, mind blown, thanks!

[@alansimpson8962]

That really is a simple spot on explanation of soloing really is great job

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks!

[@guidoguitar94]

I love that sac kings jacket!!! Great work as always!!

[@niguel4438]

You can always find the relative minor pentatonic by backing up three frets. Thanks!

[@christophervincent8420]

Good tips. Thanks Sean

[@clafong9]

The blessing of that quip, 'Like a fool talking to a dog', is that it sounds like a great blues song. I'm going to contact my blues friend Smoky Waters and get on it.

[@seandaniel23]

;)

[@seanenglish3002]

I love the idea of playing modally over each of the chords in the progression. I love your Patreon channel. You mention some of my favorite bands- Zeppelin, Hendrix, Black Sabbath (sort of). If it is possible to teach any of their songs or any of the classic rock stuff on Patreon (or here) that would be awesome. I know you are great at teaching those types of songs from you Simple Chords classes. It seems strange to think you would need a leather jacket in Florida. Keep rockin'. You're awesome.

[@Dogsrule777]

Play some Beiber man! 🤘🏽 (I’m totally kidding:) ☮️ The box method worked for me. Then understanding roots, 3rds and 5ths put it all in perspective... Awesome vid!

[@chadfavre]

Love your channel and you humor man. My present challenge is writing accompaniments to the original chord progressions I come up with. Since I’m not going to “write” a simple 1-4-5 (boring), I have trouble placing my progressions within a key or mode (don’t even know if I just used mode correctly). Would love to see you dissect a more complex Big Thief-like progression, for instance, to determine which key to use if you were writing an accompaniment. It would help immensely when approaching my own stuff. Thanks man.

[@gonzaleschristiandanielr.8532]

A Heart from Sean!❤️

[@mikehunty20]

Black Sabath ⚫ is one of my favorite lead 🎸 players..too ..especially the drummer.

Watched a lot of videos i really love your teaching! But can you explain the rythems a bit more? Keep it up!

[@paullynn2512]

Such a beautiful Taylor

[@codemech99]

Great solo demo for those of us who are struggling with basic soloing.

[@robertoestebanmoreno6996]

Awesome stuff...can you play in my band?

[@trentc7329]

I love when you roast guitar-bros about stuff like leather jackets and NAMM. You’d quit playing guitar before you’d take a free sunburst Les Paul and look like a guitar-bro.

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Alex Lifeson called it "picky-strummy". Absolutely essential style in any power trio.

[@Jaywezy]

Very helpful

[@harmonicahero1]

I will never give Sean Daniel a thumbs down, ever!

[@tracycarpenter2253]

i wonder did the 8 people that disliked this vid think they were going to watch it and be able to solo like Jeff Beck. my advice to them; stay away from proper channels like this as you will just be disappointed that it all requires hard work. good stuff Sean.

[@niceperson5962]

There's a difference between taking the traditional solo and playing lead guitar (as opposed to rhythm guitar). Playing lead guitar involves you carrying the song with chords, melodies and riffs etc. Is that right?

[@fenderstringbender7066]

Sean the alcohol version isnt much better.Hey could you do a " Hendrix style" instructional again.Little wing was great.Thank you.Stay safe.God bless.

Non-alcoholic beer and frozen pizza. That's class....

[@jamesadcock5235]

The nat king Cole song L O V E is in G. For the solo it goes to G#. clever stuff coz I never heard a key change for a solo before maybe that's a jazz thing. I've heard going to relative minor for solo but not key change. It sounds great btw

[@Xray-Rep]

Is that a bullet-resistant vest you're wearing? Great lesson, BTW. Thanks!

[@szczerzo]

Isn't non-alcoholic IPA beer just sparkling water with dish wahser flavour?

[@DekkMassen]

Yeah that sounds right

[@TheFeelButton]

When I'm not foolishly talking to my dog I'm busy shopping for Naugahyde Nammwear! Cheers Sean!!

[@jackduck3649]

Dude, you're damn cool.

[@Jack.Waters]

I suppose it may come in time. I’m still getting to sound well with transitioning from Arpeggios to Chord. Additionally, I guess, some don’t understand that the ‘Hair’ is a large part of the “Sean Daniels” branding. Play Hard!!

[@ourdukeplayzz4710]

Here is my opinion on guitar soloing: When soloing you must be creative! For instance, say you're playing a song with your band or group, you basically want to play the melody of the song and make it interesting. It's YOUR solo! You can mix it up and come up with something creative, mix it with chords, chord voicings, single notes, etc.

Damnit, Sean. I spent the last £££ of my pre-Brexit money on a leather jacket for you just to apologise for all the miserable comments I've made about you being unshaven etc. And now you no longer want one. As if 2020 want bad enough. I'm off to Andrea's channel now (and I might not be back 😩)
