material in the backing track. Let's play guitar
together. Let's go. F
2. The guitar solo: Oh.
3. Harmony: Recording a backing track in A. So going to play this It's dc. As you can see, I
play a power cord with my finger
number one and three on on the string number six and five in the
frat number five. And I play this note number
nine with my pink finger, and then I play right here. These three strings.
This is a kind of bar. So just to have access
to the g notes. So Very nice, isn't it? But if you prefer to complete with this another right here. It's going to change
a little bit, but it sounds almost the same. Right? We're going
to have this groovy. We're going to play 4 bars in A, so it's a 12 bar bus. DM going to 2 bars, come back to more
2 bars. Let's go. F one, two, three, four. Go. T. Come back. I want your boss. What? T. There you got your am A and fi And this is our armony. K, very simple and easy armony. This is a two F blues in A.
4. How to compose a guitar solo: Let's start with the guitar
solo. The guitar solo part. I'm going to give you a
few ideas, a few concepts, tricks, just to develop
your creativity. Take this idea. Do not
copy exactly my lk. I'm not going to put the
guitar tab on the screen. Just the idea that I want to
show you. The first one is. Let's try the blues. It's not necessary
to start slowly, but let's start with repetition. That's a very,
very common blues, and you can use this too a lot. So the first one is repetition. You could play
this CN like this. Sounds very nice, isn't it? This repetition too is amazing. So I'm going to play C because
C is my third note of A. A, because he's number one of
A. This is very important. This concept of using
the correcting notes. Most of the case you've
played notes number one, three, five, and
seven of your scale. You guitar like is going
to work perfectly. Okay? That's why we're going to repeat
this several times. With Pam Muting, okay? We play this band very fast. This man is in D.
So one whole step, we are going to E. It's one of the most
common notes as well, so perfect fifth
and we come back. All right. That's why
this rif works so good. The second time that I play, I'm not going to repeat
exactly the same thing, just because we are
going to D D armony. So we could we could use
some chromatic notes. Okay. This is very common, blue as well, so we're
going to repeat this. Use this C, C sharp, that's not in the
scale of A. D. You go to my other key
is D. First part. Second part. All right. You can
try to use this idea. You can compliment or you can use a creativity,
change the adm. But stick with this
shortcut repetition in chromatic nodes. These are the two first
shortcuts to play Blues Torso. Then we go to D. We could play the flat
flat t and t trick. So this trick is
very nice because you just need to think about the turn note of your escape. In this case, we D, so we need to think about d. So the minor third is
F and the mior two. So You just play the notes. Okay? And let the note ring. This is very important in blues. But a guy used it to
play like this a lot. Okay? And then we come back, in this case, we
could play this. Hey, right here, very s Trong
Vpo sounds very, very nice. Sounds very nice. Then we're going to the turnaround part. So the ending part, that is. D. In this case, we could use Musk intervals. So it's an a trick that you
need to use to play blues. In this case, I'm going to use this musk interval right here. Just because it's very common. This chord shape is
very common blues, when you play with a bore or just two fingers.
Right here, I have. That is the node of
the chord DNA go to D sharp in D K just
following the harmony. But if you play Lats
in music interval, you're going to have your
perf fifth right here on top. So works perfectly. And then you can create a guitar lk to continue your
guitar s. As you can see, this first round, it's
a little bit easy to play not too much notes, scales. But I use a lot
of tricks, right? Let's remember, I use
the repetition trick. The important note
tricks, So one, three, five, and seven of
your scale in this case, very Then I use the
chromatic notes, so could go to D, right? This trick is very nice as well. I repeat the Most
important notes. In this case, I use
flat tree entry. This is coming blues. You can use a lot of this flat tree entry
trick or even flat 55. It's very nice as well. And then we are going
to the Musk intervals. As you see, we use
a lot of tricks. I think with what 55 concepts that you need to think to
create your guitar solos. If you're sticking with just
these five concepts and px, px a lot, and try to
develop your creativity. You can play very nice
solos with just that. Check Joe Bonamassa. He's the king of milk intervals, chromatic notes, and this
flattery tree trick. Okay. But let's continue.
We should play. Let me see, h Let's play k. In this case, I'm going to use. I'm going to think about
the Pattern number five. Matic going to come back to W we could play the entire
song, the entire solo. This is the pattern
number one Matonic, so I'm going to use
Patron number five right here. It's very important. You memorize all
the guitar shapes. Okay? We have one right here. Number two right here. Starting C because
it's the second node, not of A minor scale
but A pentatonic scale. Then we have right here
pattern number three. Starting D. Pattern
number five start. Pattern number five. You
can play here or here, start in I always say that
it's nice to exercise. Go down, going up. For example, going
down, first pattern. Go up, the first pattern. Or going down, the
first pattern. And go up, but the
second pattern. So You go down in one. Go. Okay. You can repeat
this with two and three, three and four, four and five. Go down in five. Come back coming up the
pattern number one. The most important thing is
memorize the guitar shapes. Just because this next
part of your solo, we're going to play in the
using the pattern number five. But I'm going to use
the Blues note as well. So Remember, the blues
notes right here. You did you find a prefer
fifth that s and put a flat. Okay, so something like that. And then, you can
use another trick. You can use a trick that
I like to call melody. It's when you play a very, very strong melody, for example. It sounds very nice. It's not to o much blue, but blends very well
with blue solos. Okay? In this case, I use
most common notes in A. Okay. You just need to
think about the scale. So I use C A. This bending D, that
is going to sound like E and come back to
see. And then I play. Then the chromatic
part over again. As you can see, I always surfing between techniques,
approach, tricks. That's why it's so important to memorize and practice
a lot of this. Next part, we're
going to D. D 2 bars. And you could use
the D at the top. This sounds very nice. And finish it right here in May, just because we're
going to come back. J. This trick is very important. When you are going to the
par number four and five. If you use pentatonic, L listen if you
think easy, okay? And use pentatonic first
pattern. So right here. It's going to be very
easy because you can just play the
band right here in C. It's going to sound as D. And finish your
lek right here. There is the perfect
fifth of D and the first note of our next key. That's why first pattern
pentatonics work perfectly. We do not have to
much time, right, just 2 bars, and then
you come back to. It's going to work perfectly. During this type of turnaround right like
this ending part, I like to improvise. I like to use different licks, especially when I
finish it here. A great combination is Mix. Pattern number two Pattern
umber Another trick that is very important to talk is about the do not stop lick. What do you mean with that, Gib? So in the end of a blue, it's very common when you play
the ce going down, right? So let's say we're
playing the blues. This part. As you can see, I play
the ending part, okay? Play my scale going down. And start a newly
when the armonis, come back to the top,
play in A over again. This is very, very
common bruising. You can play this type of
approach every single time. As you can see, I use the A
miro pentatonic scale, right? It's not necessary to
think about the pattern. You can start in any type of note you want of a
minor pathic scale. You can use the Blues
notes that's here. You can use even
chromatic notes. Like this, G sharp
works really well. And then you're going to repeat the same notes over and
over again, like this. Oh, my God. Baby King
play like this so much. If you watch on YouTube, you're going to
find several solos with this type of trick, okay? It's very nice. Looks a little bit of
a common response, but it's a little bit different. Carmon response would be
like conversation, right? For example, Call Response. Call Response. Okay. Something like that. But this trick, I
just repeat the note. It's almost the same trick that I did in the
first part, right? This first part of our s. So, in this case, you
are going to repeat this CNA during the
entire A session. And when you go to D
session in the armony, your plate is D right
here like this. Like the Then you come back to a and create an ending with some kind of italic
connect the pentatonics. As you can see, works perfectly. You just need to use
your creativity to compose any kind of
blues guitar solo. I prefer you stick
with these shortcuts. I'm not going to give
you more shortcuts and tricks because
I talked too much. I gave you too much information. Now is the most important part. You need to px, px a lot and put everything on your brain, of course, and on your fingers. You need to play this.
It's not just fury, it's not just watch videos. You need to play px The most important thing is
simulate everything internet. I told you and incorporate
this on your play.
5. Now it's time to start improvising your guitar solo: Now's the time to play
the backing track. That's the time that
you're going to improvise. As can see on a screen, you have the structure
of the blues. Is a 12 bar blues. Remember about this detail, you need to count all
the twoelf boards to know where you
are in the harmony. Then we have the pentatonic minor scale on the flat board. This is very important, especially the most
important notes, that is one, flat three, five in flat seven of the scale. Of course, you can
the blues note, the sharp four as
well if you want. Then we have the scale in the sharp four that
I told you before. In the next graph, we have all the shapes of
pentatonic minor blues, and impatonic minor KO. I think all these graphs is
going to help you a lot. So try to memorize them, and of course, prat
this lesson. Loop. Play this lesson several times and improvise
in this lesson. Sing the graphic on the screen
and counting the tempo. This is a very, very important
exercise that you need to repeat several times to master
your skills on a guitar. Are you ready?
Let's get started. Oh. Nine s. Oh.
