Guitar Solo Tip: You don’t have to change scales when the chords change – EP016

Description

I get a lot of questions on the topic of soloing, so I thought I would start creating lessons like these that provide pointers on various topics. In this guitar lesson, I’ll demonstrate the fact that you don’t have to change scales every time a chord changes when playing a solo. I’ve had lots of emails from people on that topic so I thought it made sense to create a video that explains the fact that you DON’T have to change scales to match the chords. Hopefully this will help some of you out there.

    These “chats” you have really begin to tie up the loose ends with regards to seeing the big picture on much simpler terms. At least thats been my observation so far. I think your informal manner of instruction is very effective and I have gleened much in a very short time frame.

    Brian, your lessons are the best that I have found on the internet. One question about this lesson: As the chords change from G to C or D, do you try to land on that particular note in the scale?

    Thanks! I absolutely was wondering about this. Changing on the turn-around sounds cool too.
