    This is an invaluable lesson! I had a guitar teacher who used to give me arpeggio exercises that were written down. I found them difficult because I couldn’t understand the relationship between the notes. However when playing different chord shapes I naturally found the arpeggios and linked those back to the scales I’d already learnt. Brett Papa also does a great video on learning the notes from the chords. Thanks for the lesson!

    Using the same theme from Fleetwood Mac (Christine McVie's great tune)..........you definitely make lead guitar playing fun, Rusty! Once again here you display your concepts nicely and well-paced which allows us to absorb them into our own. One dynamite idea would be after you do a few well taught lessons (say 5-6) that you'd do a separate one that only highlights the 5-6 previous lessons as a review or reminder after working through them separately. I recall this great concept from my days studying for my CPA and it truly works to get the cognitive brain ............or whatever the area of our brains that lock into long-term memory kick in.

    This may take more characters than I am allowed, BUT here goes…I canNOT begin to say how much this lesson helped me, and I am DEEPLY grateful!! I have been trying to figure out the concept of how to play more “to the chords” in my lead phrasing for MANY years now! I have SCOURED the internet, as well as grilled local teachers and players trying to find EXACTLY how to get this sound that Rusty described so incredibly well in this video, but have struck out for YEARS now!! I seriously think you can forget 90% of what you know and just focus on what Rusty has taught us here, and your solos will be as good as they ever need to be….for MY ears anyway!!! IMO….THIS video is the HOLY GRAIL!!! THANK YOU RUSTY!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

      This is such a great comment, Kenny! And I’m really happy to help! Pentatonic. Scales can still be a good focus, but you still need to play to the chords. It’s not an easy task, but it sounds like you are really moving forward now. I still work on this concept every day myself. It’s easy to get carried away, playing up and down a scale without realizing the structure of the chords you’re playing over. Thanks again for this awesome comment. Means a lot. Have a rockin week ahead buddy.😎

      @@rustysguitar1 I am 58 yrs old and i have been playing, as well as pursuing improvement on the instrument, for the better part of 40 years now. I know the fretboard extremely well. I know the 5 Pentatonic shapes as well as the diatonic shapes all over the board. I know the CAGED system inside and out. I can solo all over the fretboard in any key or mode both horizontally and vertically and diagonally. I am very pleased with my ability to improvise solos in any style (except more complicated Jazz things, which I don’t aspire to anyway), and I think my playing is musical and sounds very good, but the “thing” i have been lacking in terribly is this concept you explained soooo well! This is the MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH I have been looking for that made it all “click” JUST LIKE YOU SAID it would!! You were RIGHT!!

    Have liked a lot of the other complimentary comments, but in summary, I like the way you get right into it, and you are really helping me get from a rhythm guitarist to being able to do runs and fills based on the chord structure. Which is what I need in my covers band. I don't have the time to learn all the song solos note for note, and often just need to do a sort-of solo over a set of verse chords. Your teaching is aimed at this approach and level. Great stuff!👏👏🤘🤘

    Hi Rusty, thank you for this video. I have not played guitar in many years (played in high school in the 70s), and even then I only took a couple of lessons from a guy showing me what he called power chords. After that I was concentrating on trying to play lead and didn't really learn rhythm chord playing, or even reading music. I was just going by what sounded good.
    So, all of these years later, I'm looking for a simple way to get back into playing. I think this video, combining rhythm and lead, along with learning some basic notes, will help me a lot.
    Have a great rest of the week and weekend!

    to know what where and when each of the chords elements are and where they can apply, you are consistent in, I respect that !!
    This is what i know from experience is the best place to start, and I think it aligns with your teachings,
    It is getting to know the chords and through that as bi product-
    the groove/what links a band in play together all at once,
    this also helps keep everyone on the same page yet isn't too rigid because the groove is the guidline not just a rule but still has the properties of what a rule has- being the glue that holds it altogether yet as a mutually understood vibe with structure, within a band playing together and still allows room for each player to express a little of their talents/desires to do, or a lot outside of the box, the box that can be limiting,
    Understanding that at least, thats the beauty of the importance of rythum and why i listen to all the instruments in a band,
    the first ever lesson i was taght at high school music class, and i wasnt even playing any instrument at the time, it just stuck with me!
    because i love music so much and naturally you follow your interests right? Well the lesson was more a challenge to listen to a song and isolate each instrument, close your eyes listen, then next instrument until youve found how many and what instruments were playing, the changes in intensity and the change over of whos taking lead, the sharing of room, to let the groove live.
    this idk i left school at 16year old to start an apprenticeship
    but it stuck with me and i dont think this lesson/challenge was only about training your ear but i do know that it served my musical interests even after i left school and didn't go to any further musical training apart from a few lessons later,
    so i kept it up and got better at that and i had always want to so eventually i decided to start the guitar - this lesson in hindsight it was very helpful at the start in keeping in time, and keeping in rythum because what i believe was just a simple lesson about something else like many things can be applied elsewhere so once i learned about melody and the groove it in hindsight made sense to me that that immersive thinking, challenged to learn, early on then when learning rythum of the drums etc feeling the groove was definitely an enormous help that proved useful as a tool, also understanding rythum and groove caused the inspiration to experiment and still keep within the intended feel of the song,
    its like a lifeline within the song to hold onto and not get lost off on a tangent, is a good line to follow and allows the lead guitar to add emphasis to the song.
    So rythum is very important as all of the elements are but without getting into the feel of the groove without the knowledge of the chord tones, tonics, Root notes the structure of scales being the foundation for rythum as much as lead and vocals, there isn't life in the song it's like knowing the mathematics being a scale wizard but but not being an artist.
    So yeah I like how you keep up on the point that rythum is important to start there or go back to your roots,
    like myself and many musicians can admit have strayed too far in one way its a good place to get back to. Rythum.
    Jimmy hendrix songs are a great place to start when doing both rythum and lead he had is so well balanced and passionately expressed and with no training if i understand correctly?
    but look how much influence he has had in his entirety and beyond his life.
    All that starts at rythum (once you learn if you did like i did- chords by learning songs i liked and played along to i picked up a substantial amount of chords that way, so im bias towards the rythum route, knowledge thats gained through rythum, that way as a bi product of having learned enough which is not as much chords really, not as many as most are led to believe.
    Thanks again Rusty you teach with the gusto and passion of how a real teacher should be, because you're interests in music are true to you. Visa versa, no one can pretend to be interested when there's no desire/God given talent which isn't the same as being born exceptionally better than everyone else, I believe if there an interest someone has in something anything then it is a talent that if we bury it's a sin man. And you are doing great in your talents.
    Thanks for not burying them. God bless bro. ❤

      ​​@@rustysguitar1Does the A major pentatonic exist? If so which scale are you pulling this note from? Thank you in advance. BEST AND PEACE

    • @rustysguitar1
      @rustysguitar1  Год назад +1

      @@chucklutter7399 in this video, we are focused on the A minor pentatonic scale. Then I explain that we are using the A-D-E chords for these examples. Then we are adding an extra note from each chord. So the A minor pentatonic scale is the structure and in this video, we are adding major notes for a bluesy sound. But we are not looking at other scales just the A minor pentatonic for the structure. Hope this helps chuck.👍

    • @chucklutter7399
      @chucklutter7399 Год назад +1

      Thank you for the quick response. An hour or so after reading it I remembered you saying, in the video, that the note is in the chord but not the A minor pentatonic. Thank you for your patience in re-explaining this concept. Have a GREAT day

    Great tips especially for the solo. If you drop the pinky to add the high 7th on the rhythm track, it screams bluesy! (especially on the four or five). Sneaking it into the solo adds some spice. Thx for another informative vid.

    nicely crafted topic, its so simple it might just work when under the pressure of live jamming
    i can see extending those targets into the other 4 shapes, and also I noticed the 3 target notes in a different order are all the chords 6th degree with respect to G C D , E A B are the 6th degree, but as B E A are 3rd , 3rd and 5th , thanks for the nudge on resorting the perspective

      That’s funny!😂 They are on a streak right now! That’s a good idea. I change guitars but but for the last 30 or 40 videos I have used the Revv G20 amplifier set clean, and the Revv Tilt overdrive to push it. I can’t say enough good things about that combination so dynamic. I also use it live when I play out. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos! Talk to you soon buddy. 👍
