Hi everyone! I’ve done a few gear videos over the past few weeks, so I wanted to put a good old fashioned lesson up for you all. This is kind of the antidote to the barrage of ‘Top 5 tips’ and ‘10 tricks to make you sound amazing’ videos that seem to be everywhere on KZbin these days. If you work really hard on these concepts they will reward you in much deeper ways. Good luck and thanks for all the support and to everyone who’s checked out and given such great feedback on Solo. If you want more content like this please check out the links in the description and don’t forget to like and subscribe. See you all in the next one. Tom

The app is pretty cool. I still use pentatonic but mostly as a reference point to know where certain intervals are. The remaining intervals can easily be derived from the pentatonic. I like that the app gives this quiz-like exercise to intervals.
@MrXeberdee Жыл бұрын
Good advice. Another way to do it it (how I do it) is choose a melody fragment or chord (bunch of intervals), say R,2,b3,6 - then pick out these notes, also in any order, but move your hand in random directions, up or down, forwards and backwards, diagonal either way is good. As soon as you think that you are in a familiar box or pattern, then move in a different direction into an area that you might not be so familiar with and find the notes there. Guitarists become limited by scalic / pattern / box thinking because we are traditionally taught this way. You have to break free of it to learn the entire fretboard.
@Phoboss32 Жыл бұрын
This approach of memorizing shapes and patterns irritated me for a long time. Until I found to naturally learn it via learning the all fretboard notes (with Solo app - see other video of Tom) and then learning the intervalic functions.

Your soloing is so good Bro very inspiring. Just a note D dorian is the second mode in the key of c maj but isn't em the 3rd mode which is phrygian mode that's how I'd think of that but I know what your saying choose the right note
@redwalrustmnc52563 жыл бұрын
I can see why you would think that but NO it is the eminor the relative minor of G major scale-E, F♯, G, A, B, C, and D, It is used because it has the E Minor Pentatonic Notes: E G A B D which are shared with the notes of d dorian. Even tho em phrygian has the same notes it's just another way of looking at it because more guitarists are more familiar playing an e minor pent scale.

The app would have to do a mix minus to cancel its own tone or chord / drone generation. Gets complicated when you use an audio interface.

I admit to not knowing a lot of the terms you use, but I think I am at least grasping the concept of how the app can be useful. Essentially, based on the type of scale and the root I choose, the app creates various combinations of notes to practice that I then can use to create my own licks, solos, etc. Is that correct?

Hi Tom, great lesson as always. I have a question about what you are doing with these lines and pieces of vocabulary once you practice them. When you improvise are you consciously recalling these lines through muscle memory or are do you generate all of your lines from scratch in the moment? Is it a combination of those two things, depending on the speed of the line?
