Dear Algorithm,
Thanks for watching this lesson about guitar solos, and how to solo on guitar, and other guitar solo related guitar solo tutorial type words that might help you recognize that I’m trying to teach beginners and intermediate guitar players how to solo. Wether its a guitar solo overview, or a guitar solo how-to, and a step by step guitar solo demonstration, or something. These are just words so that you, google, will definitely know that these are 5 levels of how to solo on guitar, from beginner guitar solos, to intermediate guitar solos, to advanced guitar solos. This video helps you understand the concept of guitar solos AND gives you ways to practice guitar solos. Pentatonic guitar solos, full scale guitar solos, chord tone targeting solos, jazz solos, professional solos. Thank you, algorithm, for reading this and seeing what I’m trying to do. Best of luck with all your equations and stuff. Please help people find this video.
Thanks bro,
Scott

I'm a member of your Patreon group. Your lessons are fantastic. I'm a complete beginner and I actually made some contributions to my jam group last night using things I've learned from you. Keep up the outstanding work.
Nambejok brother 👍 Iam Garo full support 👍💯
🙏👍🏻
Huge respect!!
돌아 와줘서 고마워요. 정말 좋습니다.
Amazing, logical breakdown!!
Scott, it just occurred to me that encircling the root with notes from the key (a phrasing technique I've heard described) is a way of emphasizing the 2nd and the 7th. Of course you could use the technique for the 3rd and 5th, also.
what is that thing holding your guitar up like that? ive been looking for one of those for awhile
Really the best channel
such a clear, logical presentation…….
I understood caged system through your lessons thanks bro.
Woah ! the production value and the pedagogy are off the chart ! what a great work you provide ! thank you very much !!!
Hello! It was a cool lesson! Thank you! Спасибо!
On level 2 @ 2:24, the functions over the chords are wrong. You are in a minor key while the function is in a major key. The functions should read Imi – IIdim – bIII – IVmi – Vmi – bVI – bVII, or like how you have it: min, dim, maj, min, min, maj, maj.
The patreon page is fantastic and the first real music lesson that I actually felt like I could understand theory!
This approach is really a fundamentally sound method for learning beyond the pentatonic and major scales. These steps lay the groundwork for more advanced modes, and help target intervals in a scale. For example that chromatic movement is really helping to set the stage for diminished scales later on as well as helping to see how more color can be added into a key. Chromaticism really is the entry level for things like harmonic and melodic minor, and the many modes that can be extracted from it. It’s at that point you realize it’s all relative.
Good video, but don't overlay the "feel free to pause to practice" over the interactive guitar neck at the bottom of the video. That's literally the worst place to put that overlay.
very well explained,, thank you,, im working on bringing in chromatics and playing major minor scale combinations in blues,,
I like your approach, the graphics are very useful. but I didn't notice the presence of the played chords in the graphics. you teach me that to resolve the note, for example in the extensions, it is necessary to land on a tone of the chord. so this is just a demo, not the full lesson?
Finally
Wow, this will be awesome. I always wonder why the guitar neck is not in the perspective you have as a player. It would be easier to read when mirrored.
You sir are amazing, I just discovered your channel! 🙂
This is amazing. Thank you so much for this content.
You are the man like
Glad you are back!!!
Way to go SPJ. Lot of info in this video. Thanks Man 😎👍💯👋👋🎸🎸
I have had countless instructors. None of them ever taught me any of this. I think one taught me the major scale but never taught me anything about the 1, the 3 or the 5th note.
No. It was always pentatonic minor, first box "let's jam" at the end of the lesson.
This is a really good channel. I can't wait to get going on this.
