How are chords and scales connected ? How do we approach a solo? What if the chord changes? What scales do you use? What's a chromatic note? I'll tell you all about it in this video! Jam along with the backing tracks found on my Patreon page.

I'm now 82. I started playing guitar when I was 18 mostly using chords to accompany my singing as I am more of a singer than guitar player for which I learned to play in all keys but with limited basic chords. I've done singing semi professionally for 27 years in clubs and pubs circuits in the UK with my brother who also happened to play guitar mainly strumming. Ee managed to do this for 27 years and the audience were quite happy listening to us. I have a friend who is a very good guitar lead player and I can't forget what he told me that a man at the age of 80 can still learn to play guitar. Believe it or not, as I am still stuck in the Philippines due to covid travel restrictions, preventing me to go back to the UK, I decided to kill the time by playing guitar and that's when I happened to see Paul Davids in YTube. I have been following him up for over a year now and I am learning a lot and he influences me to carry on learning and improving my guitar. I'm now 82 and still learning a lot playing guitar. Salute to Paul and other guitar teachers for their no end of contributions demonstrating their talents in guitar playing.

Keep it up young man! You’re doin great! Reminds me of a quote I’ve stumbled on from time to time: “The legendary cellist Pablo Casals was asked why he continued to practice at age 90. "Because I think I'm making progress," he replied.” He goes on to say: “In spite of their age, old musicians have not lost their zest for life. How does one explain this? I do not think the answer lies simply in their physical constitutions or in something unique about the climate in which they live. It has to do with their attitude toward life; and I believe that their ability to work is due in no small measure to the fact that they do work. Work helps prevent one from getting old. I, for one, cannot dream of retiring. Not now or ever. Retire? The word is alien and the idea inconceivable to me. I don’t believe in retirement for anyone in my type of work, not while the spirit remains. My work is my life. I cannot think of one without the other. To “retire” means to me to begin to die. The man who works and is never bored is never old. Work and interest in worthwhile things are the best remedy for age. Each day I am reborn. Each day I must begin again.”

I started as a bass player then moved to chords on acoustic and thought I wasn't good enough to solo. Then I realized when I was playing bass I was really soloing all along. It's all about practicing day in and day out. Learn your pentatonic, then your modes/scales and start to put it all together. You got this bros 💪

"Easy" is a perspective thing. There is no wrong way to learn the guitar (or music) When we first learn scales and the CAGED systems and modes, they might become boring after a while, and sometimes we feel stuck, but these scales and patterns also help us to develop all of those other things required in being a good player such as timing and note clarity and chord progressions. Once we learn to do these things fairly well, and stir in all of those tasty licks that we've picked up along the way, a good solo will kind of write itself. At that point, it becomes easy. Years of dedication and practice must take place before this happens. There is really no such thing as natural talent when it comes to the guitar although it sometimes seems that way. Even the great John Mayer or Eric Johnson had to earn their craft one note at a time. If they can do it - so can you

Another excellent video, very helpful in learning the basics of how good soloists approach chord changes. I wish I knew this stuff 40 years ago! I remember when I first realized that all the pentatonic scales based on each note in a key are also in the key and thus always work. It's an amazing feature of musical math that I didn't know until recently. Most teachers never seem to come out and say it, but it's an extremely useful bit of information.

@@Sailor_Man_Music it depends on what you know and what do you specifically want to improve. For example if you don't know the pentatonic scale you should start by learning it, learn other scales too as many as you can, learn all the positions. create pattens to connect all the positions throughout the entire neck with all scales. If you know lots of scales and your problem is that you can't use them with creativity, then what I would do is learns lots if solos with different techniques and take out your favorite licks, you can also try to create your own licks from the scales you know, at the end your possibilities are endless
@adkh2112

@@Sailor_Man_Music For me it was forcing myself to play over a chord progression where there was a "wrong" chord. A non diatonic one, that forces you to do something different and to pay attention to the chords rather than just a scale. The way I think about all soloing is using the pentatonic as a skeleton backbone, the basis that is the only shape I learned over the whole fretboard (caged system). Then fleshing out "extra notes" for more flavour, whether that is chord notes, blue notes or borrowed notes from.weird scales, but mostly just by ear. Hopefully that makes some sense. Mostly it's just practice 😜

Lots of other teachers take only one of these ideas as 'the way' to tackle solos. In particular I've mainly been looking at changing pentatonic patterns for each chord or Sticking with one pentatonic pattern and using the notes from the caged chords in the same spot.

Love your channel Paul. Have been playing blues and rock for 50 years and studying classical guitar and music theory for the last 3 years.You make make understanding guitar playing reasonably easy. There is no doubt a little theory (i know we just want to play not get lost in theory) is really a great way to get the basic understanding of how it all works, couple that with some playing experience and you are on you way to playing your guitar like you always wanted to. The one other thing you need to know is that good gear does make a world of difference especially as you improve your approach to playing via theory and experience. A good player can make a rubbish instrument sound good. Stick with it people and the rewards will come! Playing guitar is a very personal experience but it must come from the heart. Please keep it coming Paul you are indeed making an impact on players around the world.

Jazz chords played slowly, with a lil detuned sound, chorus effect and melodic playing. If made a couple, it’s a fun genre. Usually you got a layer of like static/white noise lowly in the background or something like wind / ocean waves make it sound cool. So like maj11ths and min 7th/9ths in simple progression. Sometimes you can spice it up with like a diminished chord or dominate here and there.

Oddly enough, I'll bet that Chris and Paul are thinking the exact same thing. There is no end to this journey although guys like Tommy Emmanuel seem to have no end to what is possible. When I listen to Tommy, I am ashamed of what I call "my best"

So far I've just been sticking to minor pentatinic, major pentatonic, and natural minor/aeolian. I know enough theory now to be able to diagnose what key a song is in and to just use the appropriate scale over the whole thing, I'm just in a bit if trouble if the song I'm jamming over throws in anything outside of the key. I usually just jam with someone so it's not a problem (I'll get him to play dome looped chords from say A minor, and I'll improvise with the A minor pentatonic on top of it all). For now, that's good enough for me...I see myself as mostly a rhythm player who just dabbles in lead anyway, so that's good enough for me for now...

I always get lost as soon as scales come up... I feel like I've learned what the pentatonic and blues scales are at least 10 times but they haven't stuck in my head.

That will come. So will the feeling that you are "Stuck in the Box" of unending scales that are so boring that you want to quit. Such things are natural plateaus that every guitar player experiences. Nothing wrong with skipping ahead a little to keep your interests high. Paul has a fantastic video on arpeggio's and expanding them. The way he introduces them is so simple. You might have to slow it down a bit, to keep up but I promise you it is an excellent diversion that will challenge you and peak your interest.
