Do you want to learn how to solo with more expression? With more meaning? With more FEELING?

Thant's the word, right? When we hear a guitar solo that connect with us and it feels like it's loaded with emotions, we say that that guitarist plays with feeling!

David Gilmore, Santa, BB King, Slash, you name it. There are so many awesome names to this list. They all have that touch, that feeling in their solos.

Well, in this video I talk about a few techniques that will certainly help you to get more feeling in your own solos. Enjoy.

Do you ever feel like it's a little hard to sound more melodic using the Major Scale? We all know that the Pentatonic Scale is a very melodic scale.

But when it comes to use the Major Scale, it feels like things get a little stiff, the phrases don't flow so easily and it's a little hard to make it sound pretty.

In this lesson you will learn a very good way to make your solos sound more melodic using the major scale.

It's a very fun and effective technique that will make you come up with some new ways to solo.

I've been working on my picking technique since day one of my guitar journey. What I realized was that this technique is one of the most (if not the most) important skills on lead guitar playing.

This exercise is one of the many that I practiced (and still do) to either sharp my skills or even to increase my speed. Have fun.

Here's a version of the song The Wonderful Cross.

I used a bunch of effects, mainly reverbs and delays.

Grab the TABSs and have fun!

Here's a note-by-note lesson about this cool solo I wrote back in 2004 for a project I was part of.

You will learn not only each note, but also each technique I use in this solo. I am sure there are new things for you to.

Every time we learn a solo, a riff, a lick, we should be learning not only how to copy and play, but go a little deeper in what exactly is the thought behind the solo, what scale, what shape, where is the root and chord tones, the chords behind it, etc. If we do that, then we can say we are actually learning something, not only mimicking somebody else.

My hope is that you can not only learn the solo, but that you're able to add the techniques and the elements to your own playing. Have fun!

Hey friend. How are you doing?

In my early 20's I was supper excited with my future. As a musician I thought I would go around the world touring and playing in full arenas... you know, the dream.

During that time I wrote a lot of song (and still do). In one of the songs I wrote I guitar solo that I really like to this day, and I want to teach it to you. So grab your guitar and learn this solo today.

Patterns are great to connect phrases, licks, shapes, or just to fly through the shape at the highest speed possible.

Not only that, patterns will get you different ways to play through the scales, also they can be used as a very creative tool when you're coming up with new licks and phrases.

Here you'll learn four of my favourite patterns. Have fun!

 How to use the pentatonic shapes?

Are you stuck with only one of the pentatonic shapes?

Did you know that are actually five different shapes for this scale? In this video I will teach you all the five shapes and how I personally like to use each single one of them.

How to Use the Major Pentatonic? This is one of the questions I had early on, when I first started to learn how to solo. Maybe this is a question you’re having right now.

When I first started to solo I made a mistake that most rookies do: I applied the minor pentatonic over the root of any song, even if the song was in a major key! TRAGIC!!

It wasn't until a rehearsal for an event at my high school, when a friend of mine gave me this tip that saved me that night. The tip he gave influenced my playing to this day. Not only me, but all of my thousands of students. Now it's your turn!
