How to solo over the chord changes? This is one of the questions I had early on when I first started to learn how to solo and I felt stuck. I could solo over major and minor, no problem, but I knew there was more than just that.

Solo over chord changes - I had to learn how to do that. I tried to learn jazz… fusion and whatever I found complex and sophisticated. The more chords the better. The more scales I memorized the better.

I went deeper into the study of harmony and music theory and I was able to understand it all… but I could not solo over chord changes yet… I had the head knowledge… but it turned out that I wasn't able to translate that head knowledge translate into what I deeply wanted to: play freely over the chord changes.

So I decided to go back to the basics: Blues. Is there anything more foundational to the electric guitar than BLUES? And this is what I am going to teach in this video: How to solo over chord changes on Blues.
