💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This is my 200th video in a row, posting every single Tuesday for 200 weeks!
In this video, I talk about how to play a guitar solo over simple triads and demonstrate different ways to solo over a 1-6-4-5 progression in the key of E.
I just got an email asking about this. Eric says:
"Recently, I'm practicing chord tones, and I'm using a simple chord progression like 1-6-4-5 to master basic major and minor triads.
The simple chord progression with no extensions makes me curious about how to make a beautiful solo over it, since it's very basic with limited options.
If possible, can you please make a video about it?"
The main thing that jumps out at me from this question is saying that simple chord progressions limit our options for soloing.
Harmony can be simple, but our soloing options are never limited.
You can always play anything you want.
In this video, in my typical fashion, I break down several steps for how to play a guitar solo over simple chord progressions.
Once you’ve practiced and gotten comfortable with the harmony and chords, then you can let go, play, create, and express yourself.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about how to play a guitar solo over simple chord progressions and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)
