This was a great lesson. Lots of info on techniques, timing, simplification and space. But, what I liked the most was the section on how to listen to the band or backing track to get the drum timing, the bass style and the overall mood. We get so fixated on our own role that we fail to see how to "fit in". I think it's magic when the whole band is totally in sync... the music sounds magical.

Absolutely spot on! The internet has taught me a great deal of useful information but also information overload. What this video suggests is exactly what I turned to after years of being an intermediate player and in the latter years not making the progress as I did when first starting out. It's so important to not let scales play you and learn to treat every note with respect and creativity. Like Daniel says too many times learning guitar players just want to play almost every single note in the scale without thinking about space and letting the notes breath for a second or two. The backing track is great for doing just this. I always sit down to a backing track without my guitar first and listen to it and in my head hear what it is that I would like to improvise with. When you have the basis of a solo in you head then reach for the guitar and play what you remembered. It may not work for everyone but I hope so :)

Fundamentals, then items like individual songs, but always a structured plan.

Really great lesson! I know the shapes really well, and have also learned how to change up the feel with blues notes and finding the 3rd and 6ths. I’ve also really improved my picking. Problem for me is that I now tend to overplay! Adding other notes can be great but I find that I tend to play too fast and also I guess I’m mixing up modes accidentally a lot 😅. This lesson is really great at bringing back musicality and emotional control. My one advantage though is that I’ve listened to so much guitar music over the years (my favorites are Page, Cream Clapton, Hendrix, Beck, Gibbons - pre VH blues rock basically) that I have all these colorful techniques in my brain. I love bending - slow bends, half bends, pre bends - but in all cases I feel I need to be more in control and more musical rather than overbake everything. My next goal is to try to learn how Eric Johnson plays those smooth, fast pentatonics. Thank you!!! PS: I mentioned Jeff Beck. I love his Wired era melodies. When I add the major 3rd I hear that sound a lot and I try to add it when it sounds right.

This is something I've began to learn as well after playing guitar for over 13 years and the past 2 years of musician studies in convervatory. I used to just run the scales with a metronome. This was a huge stepping stone for me in the past, as it developed my picking technique, fretboard and scale understanding and muscle memory. However years later I realised that my solos also were just like playing scales up and down, I didn't learn "feel" in my playing, even though I had learned how the intervals sounded. So, I had fallen into the trap of many guitarists, of just playing as many colours as I can in a given context, but it really didn't mean much. Few of those notes mattered, although it sounded clean. Now I realise that I don't really need to just learn all scales and modes in all 12 keys to be a good musician. That doesn't really help me as much at this point. Also trying to play more technical with higher BPM and arpeggios cleanly trying to be Guthrie Govan or something just made me feel inferior as a musician, because I don't feel like I'll ever reach that level of technical skill, and thus can't be "good" on the guitar. It's taken years, but I'm slowly coming to the realisation that maybe I don't even WANT to play fast?!? That's just one facet of music and playing, but that doesn't make you sound great on its own and it's not something you must do.

I'm about a year in to self-teaching. Backing tracks are a great resource, I started off with a basic droning track in a single scale to learn the notes. After a while I learned some embellishments and moved up to more challenging tracks and keys. I also try to end a practice with something impossible for me to play, but try anyways. Rarely do I not learn something new on every session. I improvise everything, I have yet to learn a published song.

I write songs about a dozen so far but don’t know how to solo. This gives me hope. I have solid theory. I’m older yet learning to solo remains my lifelong goal. Where to start? I was taught classical scales but then the focus was on *reading* sheet music. My heart is singer/songwriter/guitarist dreaming akin to James Taylor, Jackson’s Browne, Lightfoot, etc. Soloing is the missing link.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. So, to be honest, the music you love uses an extensive amount of the major and minor pentatonic scales. I have a free download that is a 51 page pdf. You'll get an email series with backing tracks and also two free video lessons. You could get away with using the diagonal pentatonics in my ebook and make some great music with them. Just need to learn how to decorate them with slides, hammerons, pulloffs, bends, and vibrato. Find your favorite solos and try to see what they are doing to decorate the scales. The scales are the right notes. I also have a whole playlist of jam along tracks once you are getting more comfortable with the tracks. www.SoloOnGuitar.com for the free pdf.

Very timely for me as one who is starting to have the matrix unveiled on the fret board with the different scale shapes and approaches, whether it's horizontal, diagonal or 1 string. This is great for embracing the neck but I agree it gets you nowhere for melting into the groove of a gig. It would be nice to see how you find that major/minor shape in the correct key in short order? Appreciate your feedback and Thanks for a nice Segway into practicing with a purpose.

@@DanielSeriffMusic Fun lesson indeed. After a little thought and reflecting on the 1 string scale, I had the Ah Hah moment. It's easy to find the tonic. It just grabs the ear and you can't really mess it up. But knowing if you are Major or Minor in the past for me is noodling around on the Pentatonic Scale trying to determine which one it is. By the time I have figured that out we have had the 1st transition and I feel lost again. Then I catch a few nice chord licks and the song is about to end and I am just getting into rythm, over expressing myself because I like what I'm hearing Ha Ha But with the 1 String scale and a tonic, it's either 2 frets up Major or 3 frets up Minor. Which ever sounds correct dictates Major or Minor. Just sharing my thoughts on this as a newbie enjoying the journey. Cheers

@@luis_jams Hey, so are you referring to things in this video? Swing means that you are playing 8th notes that are based on triplets. Meaning, the first note is slightly longer than the 2nd. All the way to significantly longer. A very straight forward swing feel is when you take a tri p let, combne the tri and the p, and then play the let. So it's like tripppp - let.

I don't think I've seen any KZbinrs play a HollowBody II before. I love mine.

It’s a fantastic guitar. I upgraded the pups to Lollars but besides that it’s all original.
