💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In this lesson I'm going to talk about choosing what scale to use when you know multiple scales that work over one chord.
This comes from a question that I got from a follower, Steve.
“I play lead improvisations with backing tracks, often blues.
I’ve found that when I'm playing the minor pentatonic scale it is often more interesting when I add the two notes and play the full natural minor scale.
When does the full scale work and when does the tune demand just the pentatonic scale?
Do you decide by ear or is there a music theory rule here?”
This question is relevant to so many other chord progressions, scales, and musical styles too!
In the video I'll read you my answer and tell you a story from a time when I had this exact same question, and what the answer was from a guitarist I looked up to.
Then I'll go deeper on some examples and play a few different scales over a loop so we can hear them in a jam.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about choosing what scale to play over what chord and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)

💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In my last video I talked about a left-hand classical guitar technique that was a game changer for me, and how I learned about it from working on the song Milonga by Jorge Cardozo, which is a classical guitar repertoire piece.
In this video I’m going to take the Milonga guitar chords and analyze their composition and voice leading.
I love analyzing guitar chord theory with any piece of music I play because it helps me understand what the music is actually saying, so I can speak the language of music and express myself with it.
Milonga happens to be a very famous classical guitar piece, and the chord progression is a standard progression that is used in a bunch of other music, so I'll give examples of where it's used as well.
The benefit of analyzing chords is that we might hear something that we think belongs to a certain a genre, but really it uses the same building blocks as many other pieces of music across genres.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about guitar chord theory and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)

💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
Sometimes a chord comes up in a chord progression that throws us off when we’re improvising.
In this video I’m going to talk about what scales go with what chords.
I’ll demonstrate how to find the right scales for chords with chord progressions that:
• stay in one key
• contain chords outside that key
• contain 7th chords
I think you'll find these tips really useful if you're someone who improvises and wants to be able to find reliable scales for chords or interesting scale options that you might not have known about.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about finding the right scales for chords. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)
