What’s involved in the thought process when it comes to coming up with solos and improvisation sessions? Is it the major scale? The pentatonic scale? Arpeggios? Greek modes? Think isolating each chord? What about all the above?

In this video you will learn how I think, what my options are and how I come up with my note choices. In my case, everything started with one thing…

You are going to love to use this lick in your solos and improvs.

There are many tools when it comes to soloing and improvising. But sometimes, all you need is just the right combination of just a few notes to connect musically.

These four notes will help you to do exactly that.

I am sure this is going to be one of the licks you will use every time when you solo in a minor key.

TD.

If you have been playing guitar for over one year and still don’t know what I am teaching in this lesson… that’s it. Last chance!

This lesson is basic in how to use two shapes of pentatonic as how to play the Bm chord in two different shapes. If you know how to play Bm in two different shapes you simply have to know how to play the two pentatonic shapes I am teaching here.

Knowing this will give you so much freedom to play and to solo. The fretboard will open up in an amazing way for you to improv all over the fretboard.

In this video you will learn how by adding one note to your pentatonic scale you can make your soloing sound so much more bluesy and tasty. It is called the Blues Note.

This is a very simple and beginner's lesson. However, if you don't get this one right, all the other lessons will be messy and maybe even irrelevant.

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!

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

 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!

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.
