Abstract: This lesson is one that can help improve your lead guitar playing without having to teach you a single new scale. This lesson will help to teach you how to make the most out of the guitar's fret-board, and allow you to blend chords and single notes together and completely break out of the chord/single-note/chord pattern. This requires effort but really helped me when I learnt it.

Abstract: In this lesson we will practice improvising over changes that move in specific key cycles.

Abstract: I am focusing on soloing techniques with this instalment. This lesson illustrates how to play 7th Arpeggios over 7th Chords.

Abstract: This is a lesson on why it's important to vary your playing and how to do this without changing you playing style dramatically. I've also shown you a couple of soloing tips here if you're having trouble getting a solo to sound "right".

Abstract: Knowing how to solo with pentatonic scales requires memorizing fingering patterns. The scale diagrams (below) show the five primary patterns for the minor pentatonic in the key of A minor, and for the major pentatonic in the key of C major. Notice that the patterns are exactly the same, but, they will sound totally different if you correctly target the root notes to reinforce the tonality of the key.

Abstract: Perhaps you're a beginner or a rhythm guitar player, and you want to explore the art of soloing. If so, learning how to solo with pentatonic scales will instantly transform you into a lead guitar player! Too often, even experienced guitarists lack a complete understanding of how to construct major and minor pentatonic scales and how to use them effectively. So, the intent of this lesson is to provide insight for both inexperienced and experienced guitar players.

Abstract: These are some tips that I have for guitarists who want to add a little bit more flavour to their playing but don't know how. Let's say you know all the modes and scales, then what? And say you know what the pentatonic minor blues scale is, how do you make it sound bluesy?

Abstract: Why do many lead guitarists lack basic soloing skills such as in tune string bending and vibrato control? If you want to be considered a good player these fundamental skills are essential.

Abstract: If you are serious about playing the guitar, you must learn how to solo with modes. Understanding guitar modes requires a thorough knowledge of music theory, including major scale construction and harmonization, as well as seventh and extended chord formulas.

Abstract: In this lesson we will determine what techniques we need to utilize - in order to achieve some ability to, Improvise chords along chord changes, and re-harmonize the existing melody.
