It's something I would love to master." That "some time" is today :) This week's lesson is on the 7 best hybrid picking exercises for guitar. Hybrid picking is the technique where we use a pick and our fingers at the same time. If you want to: • Seamlessly switch between finger-picking and pick picking, • Play chords without strumming them while holding a pick, • Or speed up your lead playing by alternating between the pick and your fingers Then these hybrid picking exercises will help you get there. (And they work equally well if you’re doing hybrid picking on electric or acoustic.) PS. Yes, I read and reply to all comments and emails. If there's something you'd like to see a lesson on don't hesitate to let me know. :) ➡ Get my FREE, amazing chord options chart called ‘Chords with Color’ ➡ https://bit.ly/32UF6cQ ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

But I do want to show you a little perspective trick for how we can work on connecting scales when improvising on guitar. I recently created several lessons on how to map out and practice various types of scales. But once we learn our scale positions we often find ourselves "stuck" in those shapes when improvising on guitar. There's a way to get past that, seamlessly connecting scales, when working on guitar soloing.

Harmonic minor scale guitar positions are important to learn if we want to nail soloing over chord changes in minor keys. Some say the harmonic minor scale is the 2nd most important scale. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx Weekly Lesson #81 LESSON CONTENT OUTLINE WITH TIMESTAMP LINKS: 0:00 - Guitar playing intro 0:08 - About the lesson and channel 1:34 - Theory of the Harmonic Minor Scale 4:28 - The 5 Harmonic Minor Scale Guitar Positions 5:15 - First Position of Harmonic Minor 5:39 - Root-to-root method 7:21 - Second Position of Harmonic Minor 7:32 - Third Position of Harmonic Minor 7:43 - Fourth Position of Harmonic Minor 8:53 - Fifth Position of Harmonic Minor 9:58 - Melodic Patterns 11:36 - Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns PDF 12:00 - What is the harmonic minor scale for? 15:54 - Conclusion, outro, Free PDF LINKS & LESSONS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: • FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx • My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ • Full Playlist of This Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLho65cYn4nF1fSUGvjZ-1_0MS_GSNqLz_ • Minor Scale Chords Lesson - how the hits used them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3xc4O6785E • MELODIC MINOR Scale Guitar Patterns - All Five Positions: https://youtu.be/OaOnTSAyx_M LESSON DESCRIPTION: What's the most important scale to learn for improvising? That's right, the major scale. What's the second most important scale to learn for improvising? Well, some would say it's the harmonic minor scale. That might be surprising because we usually don't think of the harmonic minor scale as very useful until we really understand its application. In a minor key, when the V chord is major (or dominant 7), it's coming from the harmonic minor scale. That means that if we want to NAIL that V chord when improvising over it on the guitar, then we want to use the harmonic minor scale. And that type of V chord is in nearly every minor key song! It's also in TONS of major key songs (via minor chords getting "tonicized") So yeah, harmonic minor is a handy (and necessary) scale to learn for nailing changes when improvising on the guitar. This week's lesson is a continuation of my scale mapping series and it's all about how to thoroughly learn the harmonic minor scale guitar positions. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx ㅤ ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

My last few lessons covered twenty common progressions! In today's lesson I cover how to take any of those chord progressions and manipulate them to find even more popular chord combinations. This is powerful. With chord progression variations the options are seemingly ENDLESS. Now we can get creative with every-day chord progressions and make them our own, just like many of our favorite artists do. ➡ Get my FREE, awesome chord-tone theory chord chart ➡ https://bit.ly/32UF6cQ ㅤ ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

Or how piano bar performers can take requests from a pool of literally thousands of tunes? It takes a variety of skills to pull those things off, but one of the most important is being familiar with common chord progressions. This week's video lesson is the first of a four-lesson mini-series on the most common chord progressions and how to think of them on the guitar in various keys. ➡ Get my FREE, awesome chord-tone theory chord chart ➡ https://bit.ly/32UF6cQ ㅤ ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

What we usually just call the "blues scale" can also be called the minor blues scale. So what about the major blues scale? Well, the major blues scale is just a mode of the minor blues scale. By targeting the root of the scale in a certain way you can get a very different sound. The major blues scale sounds a little more country or bluegrass than the "normal" blues scale. Hear how different it sounds for yourself by checking out this lesson. And I hope you'll give the exercise a shot in your next practice session. :) ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

Even just playing this scale up and down sounds impressively melodic. And when applied to the blues scale, my go-to, root-targeting guitar scale exercise takes things to a new level. This is a unique way of practicing the blues scale on the guitar that you may have never seen before. The reason we stick to that one common blues scale guitar shape is because it's hard to know where to place the "blues notes" in the other positions. Check out my solution to this problem. It sounds awesome and totally gets the blues scale mapped out once and for all. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

Of course no scale lesson series on mapping out scale shapes would be complete without the minor pentatonic scale guitar positions. The method I use for mapping out scales is maybe needed most of all for the minor pentatonic scale. That's because we all know the ONE shape. And maybe we venture over and grab a few notes from the surrounding positions sometimes. But what about the other four guitar positions? Even if we know them, how well? I encourage you to take a couple minutes next time you're practicing the guitar to play through ALL FIVE positions of the minor pentatonic scale using the method I demonstrate in this lesson. I promise it feels grounding and helpful—it does for me anyway. Even after playing these shapes for years. The minor pentatonic scale guitar positions can be SO fun to play with if we know all five of them. I hope you’ll play around with some of the pentatonic positions that you’re less familiar with after this and get a jolt of inspiration. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

This week's lesson is on the five major pentatonic scale guitar positions. Some say that the pentatonic scale is the tastiest scale out there, but it's also often neglected. It's easy to learn one scale position shape and move it around on the neck. But sometimes we go years without filling in those blank areas on the fretboard where we know "good" notes exist. Check out how simple this scale position exercise is, and how good it sounds. I hope it inspires you to fill in some of those "blank spots" and that it leads you into some fun major pentatonic scale jams. :) #pentatonic #majorpentatonic #pentatonicscale #guitar #guitarlesson #guitarscales #jam #scales My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ I went a long time before thoroughly learning these five major pentatonic scale guitar positions. It always bothered me that I didn’t have them mapped out. I knew the minor pentatonic scale much better. Once I used the root to root method I could finally see the major pentatonic scale positions as their own entity and it was very freeing. I hope the same for you. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

This method of practicing scales is extremely useful for seeing where roots are located within guitar scale patterns and for being able to hear the true quality of a scale. This approach might seem simple and rudimentary—because it is—which is exactly why it's so effective. To demonstrate just how powerful the Root to Root Method is for hearing and mapping out scales, this week's lesson walks through the same process but with the natural minor scale guitar patterns. Listen to how the same shapes as the major scales transform into sounding completely different just by treating them as the minor scale. #minorscale #guitarscale #guitar #minorscales #guitarscales #scalepatterns #guitarlesson My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ Because the minor scale guitar patterns are the EXACT SAME physical shapes as major scale, the only thing actually making them minor is how we treat the root. And yep, that is exactly what a scale mode is, which means that the natural minor scale and the major scale are modes of each other. Practicing them with this exercise is how to finally hear and see them as unique scale types instead of just a bunch of notes grouped together on the fretboard. I still practice my scales like this all the time and I hope you’ll start to as well. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

Do you know them equally well or do you jump to some scale patterns more than others? Most importantly, can you clearly see where all the roots are within each of the guitar patterns? Knowing where the roots are within major scale forms is everything. Seeing the roots clearly allows us to actually treat a major scale pattern as minor (or another mode), and helps us to track where we are in a key. Needless to say this is invaluable for improvising, composing, and learning new music faster. I have a super simple and effective way to practice all five major scale patterns on the guitar to get them down once and for all by targeting the roots in a specific way. And that’s what this lesson is all about. #majorscale #guitarscales #scalepatterns #guitarlesson #guitar #scalepatterns #majorscaleguitar My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ This is the first lesson in a new series for how to map out and finally learn all five guitar scale patterns of various scale types. I know that some people have been playing guitar for a long time and still don’t have these five major scale guitar patterns totally down, or they know them but don’t see where the roots are clearly enough to take advantage of using them to their full potential.

Chord melody is one of the coolest yet most elusive guitar techniques out there. To pull it off we have to harmonize nearly every note of a melody with a supporting chord shape. I've broken the process down into three steps, and it works on jazz, folk, or pop songs alike. I walk through those three steps using the Happy Birthday melody, and then again using the jazz standard Blue Bossa. Everything is written out with notation and TABS so you can follow along and try it for yourself. Once you can arrange chord melodies for yourself it will feel like a super power :) I hope you enjoy! #chordmelodies #chordmelody #guitar #jazzguitar #guitarlesson My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ I hope this chord melody guitar lesson helps to demystify what it takes to make chord melodies from scratch. Obviously knowing inversion shapes is a huge help in working out chord melodies on the fretboard, so I may be doing some videos in the future specifically on mapping out inversions all over the guitar. Let me know if there are any chord melodies that you’re working on after watching this video. :) ➡ Get my FREE chord melody arrangement of Fly Me to the Moon (sheet music & TAB) ➡ https://bit.ly/2HdU0mV ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

Quartal harmony is one of my favorite sounds and this is my favorite lesson I've made so far—I'm really proud of it! I explain what quartal harmony is, how to use quartal voicings in the context of modal harmony, how to use them over normal chords, how Miles Davis used modal harmony and quartal harmony, and more! My favorite part is at the end when I show how to harmonize the minor pentatonic scale with quartal chord shape inversions. They sound completely unique and amazing! As usual there are plenty of examples, practice suggestions, and clear diagrams so you can hear and see what's going on, & so you can practice the awesome sound of quartal harmony for yourself. :) #quartalharmony #quartalchords #jazzguitar #musictheory #guitarlesson #quartal #jazz My website: https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/ Quartal harmony can either sound really weird and off putting, or completely refreshing. Personally I find it to perfectly hit the spot after a stretch of playing or listening to mainstream music or music that uses functional harmony. What I love about quartal harmony and quartal chords is how they can actually be used in the context of normal songs and not only in the context of modal harmony or modal jazz. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://www.soundguitarlessons.com/3patterns I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial.

What it is, how it works, and how we can use it. Learning functional harmony is super useful for finding chord substitutions when writing progressions or jamming. And I know studying music can feel a little dry and academic at times, so I included a little humor that anyone who's tried writing lyrics might relate to. In this lesson I write a song with a basic chord progression and then use functional harmony to replace each chord with a chord substitution.

I talk about rootless jazz chords as well as how rootless chord voicings can be used in the context of songwriting in more of a pop style. In one example you'll see how one single chord shape can be used as FIVE different chords. I hope you enjoy and have a lovely week full of creativity.
