    Progress to an advanced level of guitar playing - bulletproofguitarplayer.com In today's lesson, I teach you how to use triads when improvising over chord progressions that use functional harmony (chords that belong to the key). This is a great way to break out of purely scale-based improvisation that often just sounds like scale practice, rather than a melodic solo that reflects and compliments the underlying harmony.

    just a fyi for you younger guitar enthusiast, dont ever stop playing. I could play like Ross when I was in my late 20s but for some stupid reason I quit. Now at 60 its very frustrating to start all over. Again NEVER QUIT you will regret it. Awesome Lessons Ross, wish I could afford your online courses, but I give you many thanks for what you do share.

      Same, but only half agree... try to find the right tips to correct bad habits. It's a lot harder to correct imprinted mistakes, but it's not impossible. Especially with the correct direction. Can be tough to sift through all the YT tutorials to find the right ones, heck I just saw a vid that took the simple theory of chords and managed to complicate into a 20 min that would do nothing to teach anyone anything. But if you're here, you're in the right place.

    Ross had a video on why he doesn’t prefer three note-per-string scales. I had just spent a bunch of time learning them and perfecting them. But when he described why he doesn’t like them I realized I fell exactly into the category of player that he described and was caught in the trap of not truly understanding why I was playing what I was playing. I immediately bought his class on Udemy. It was worth every penny and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    SCOTTISH! I could hear it as soon as you played your first phrase Ross. Classic lovely Gaelic sound and beautiful harmonic structure. Not too far South to my part of the country and Knopfler sometimes has that same sound in the notes he plays. Great logical lesson with real content. Thanks for this, I certainly picked up useful stuff from it.

    With inversions Ross, the only important thing is what note is the lowest; the order of the other notes doesn't matter. A first inversion C with the third (E) as the lowest note can be (from low to high) ECG or EGC.

    Ross, I have trouble improvising on combining minor and major blues along with mixolydian mode.

    Hey Ross . When I learned to play by ear the first time (lol) it was the modes and the seven chords as you described . The second time my teacher was a jazz man so the chords changed to only the V as dominant and the seven was a -b5. But he was a jazz guy, the first guy was basically a modes guy so I know both. Only problem is the first guy didn't know how to improvise and the second never taught the shapes for the the four chords: major, minor, dominant and the -b5. I figured out all of them but I would like to see how you would play a dominant chord and a -b5 chord on the 6th and 5th strings, just so I can make sure I'm playing them right. I can improvise with them no problem but just what to make sure I'm playing the chord shapes right when I play. Thanks so much, love ur and am a new subscriber.

    11:08 Marking this to try this out next time I have a chance to learn it.
    The question Ive been trying to answer for a while is - When improvising over a progression with chords that are all in the key’s pentatonic scale, how do you know which notes to avoid during a chord change and which new notes to include? I’m basically picturing a separate (but similar) scale that’s slightly changed from the key’s pentatonic scale in order to emphasize the new chord’s root (or 3rd, or 5th, I guess). Is this the correct way of thinking about it?
    I’m at the stage where I can solo in the main key, but don’t venture outside of that one scale.

  • @waynegram8907

    ROSS CAMPBELL, certain players use arpeggio substitutions which is superimposing arpeggios over the rhythm chord to create a more complex colored chord. I have notice that jerry garcia, jimmy page, larry carlton, Chris Duarte etc will use arpeggio substitutions with their blues licks or scale licks. try making a video lesson about arpeggio substitutions
