______________________________________
If you want better sounding guitar solos fast, and at the same time hit all the best notes, then you’ve come to the right place... In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to take an open position “G” Major chord and use it to build better solos within minutes.
While you might think playing better solos is all about diligent study on your scales and arpeggios, it’s not entirely just that. There are other ways that will help you train to solo just as well.
When it comes to playing better solos, it’s important to know how to use scale layouts to target chord tones. If you want to build a solo over a progression, one of the best ways to do it is by using a chord as a note template. And, one of the best chords for new players to study this idea is the Open “G” Major chord.
Open “G” offers a nice set-up on the fingerboard for organizing a few additional notes for solos. Once the extra notes are applied, the Open “G” chord evolves into a “G” Major Pentatonic Scale. The best part is that the geometry of this scale can work for every other Major chord found in the key.
The first concept that will ensure growth for your solos is the understanding of chord geometry. The chord shape already offers a template of perfect notes. So, when it comes to building melody lines, the chord template already has everything that you would need to hit the perfect notes on every chord.

    I've been doing this recently just noodling to find thirds, sixths and trying to navigate the fretboard. This is a masterful logical step, and a practical lesson. I talked with my piano teacher about my progress. He is happy that I am such a Geek since I've learned lots of music theory, but I've always said I don't have the ear to make music like a musician. Merci beaucoup.

      Not sure if Dire Straights did a tune like this or not, maybe... I just made this up using all the 6th intervals that I could muster-up from the key of "A Minor." I'm pretty happy with it. To me, it's kind of dark & moody sounding, but I do like it.

    As a primary care physician, I was amazed at the number of people that didn't breathe. I even had a piano professor at the Conservatory who stated that all the horn and woodwind players and singers had to take breathing exercises, and no one talked about it in the piano department. As far as exercises go, I have a 30 second regimen for stabilizing and strengthening the low back. But they need to be performed every day. It's only 30 seconds. I have a video "Oh My Aching Bach". There are also techniques for the shoulders and hands, quite important for piano players. Oh, wait a minute. I guess guitar players might also benefit.
