TIPS FOR AN OLDER Or Longtime Beginner Guitar Player

Do you want to take your guitar soloing to the next level? Whether you've been playing for ages or you're just starting out, there are a few foundational steps you can take to improve your skills. In this video, I'll guide you through these steps using the key of Bm and a backing track.

Start with the pentatonic scale. It's one of the most popular scales for guitar soloing, and it's a great place to start if you're new to improvisation. Once you've mastered the pentatonic scale, you can start adding notes to it to create more complex and interesting solos.

In this video, I'll show you how to add notes to the pentatonic scale to create the full minor scale. I'll also show you how to use two different pentatonic shapes to create a more varied and melodic solo.

It's important to note that you shouldn't get stuck in only one pentatonic shape position. However, for the sake of simplicity, I'll be using only two shapes in this video.

Once you've learned the basics of soloing, you can start to experiment and develop your own unique style. There are no rules when it comes to improvisation, so don't be afraid to try new things and have fun with it.  

Here are a few additional tips for improving your guitar soloing: Listen to other guitarists. Pay attention to the techniques they use and the way they improvise.

Record yourself playing. This is a great way to track your progress and identify areas where you need to improve.

Play with other musicians. This is a great way to learn from others and improve your improvisation skills.

With regular practice, you'll be playing amazing guitar solos in no time!
