Guitar Solo Over the Chord Change - The Best Way

One of the many tools every lead guitarist carries in their toolbelt is the ability to solo with the chord change. While beginners and intermediate guitarists often start their solo journey by learning how to solo according to the key of the song, more advanced guitarists take their solos to the next level by soloing not only according to the key but also according to the chord change. This opens up a whole new world of colors and moods to explore, not to mention making the solo sound more musical.

The best way to develop the ability to change scales according to the chords is to use the pentatonic scale in conjunction with the chord change. In this lesson, we'll take the first steps towards achieving this, and you'll be surprised at how quickly your solos sound more professional.
