Thank you for spotting that, there seems to be an issue on the service provider's side. Here is a temporary link for the soloing course: mailchi.mp/c829160c5ca0/melodic-soloing-course
This is the best Circle of Fifths video in relation to guitar solos that I have ever seen (and I started playing guitar before RUclips was even a thing)
This was an excellent breakdown! Well edited for clarity on a very challenging topic, it's insane how clearly you've communicated these ideas in such a short video. Brevity is a highly prized quality in tutorial videos (and extremely rare on YT) and it's really important for effective communication. The circle of fifths comes up often, but this is the first time I've seen the practical application of it in such an easily understood message.
Thank you, I really appreciate that you took the time to write this feedback. This is only my 3rd video with this format and your opinion shows me that it's a good path to follow with more videos. Yes, the circle of fifths is the best friend of the musicians, and in the accompanying pdf booklet I mention other interesting 'tricks' with it. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot Juan Carlos! Hopefully you will like the course (you are a great player yourself, and this course is geared towards intermediate players, but there will be some interesting tricks there for sure;)
First of all: thank you for this, nice work! Can you explain exactly how you pick the chords? I see they are next to each other in the circle of the fourths/fifths but I can't see any other pattern. P.S.: The link in the description is broken.
Thank you Giacomo! I've checked the link, now it seems to work in most browsers except Firefox. Regarding your question on picking the chords: in this example the starting point is a chord progression and we start the analysis by finding them on the circle of fifths. It works with any chord progression, as long as the chords are close to each other. If your question is about creating a new chord progression from scratch - then you can combine any chords which are within 3 adjacent spots on the circle of fifths. For example, you can use the chords from the 1#, 2# and 3# spots, which are Em, G, Bm, D, F#m, A. If you follow the rule, then any progression will sound coherent.
omg this is amazing!! Wow you really made me understand the importance of the circle of fifths! Amazingggg video. I just watched your other videos too and the way you present stuff in like "level 1, level 2" type of stuff is briliant
Thank you David! I'm glad you find these videos helpful. For this "8 Steps" video and for the "31 Ways" video there is an accompanying free mini-course with more details, so you may want to check out these materials too.
This video is about the first general steps for creating melodic solos over a basic chord progression. In future videos I'll talk about other scales like phrygian, lydian, etc.
That's a great question! When this happens then most of the time the majority of the chords will be within 2 or 3 adjacent spots, and there is one outlier chord (sometimes two of them). The outlier will try to come closer to the the other chords. For example, ih a C, G, F, Eb progression the Eb major is far away, but the C, G, F chords will be collectively in 0#. The Eb major is at 3b, but will try to come closer so ends up with 2b scale (Eb lydian).

This video is a masterpiece. I was actually looking for some guidance on building bass solos but this is exactly what I needed. Amazing stuff
Thank you, I appreciate it and glad that I could help with these ideas!
FINALLY! An useful video among all this 20 minutes long boring videos I found on YT
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best Circle of Fifths video in relation to guitar solos that I have ever seen (and I started playing guitar before RUclips was even a thing)
Thank you, I appreciate it! Within a few months I'll start a new instructional series on this channel, with weekly new videos.

Well said - I'm also so impressed with Jonas's content! It's levels above the current standard.
I am not sure if I am commenting again, but I really found this video priceless. Thank you so much Jonas.
I am glad you find it helpful Rishabh. I'm going to start a new video series on soloing soon.
@@JonasTamas I am super excited about your new series. :)
Excelente trabalho!
Nagyon köszönöm a segítséget! Újabb ablakot nyitottál ki! Zseniális vagy!
Szia Csaba, örülök hogy hasznos volt számodra a videó, köszönöm szépen!
this is insanely clear!
Thank you so much Federico!
congrats Tamas. Precise, involving, stuff. Thx!
Thank you so much Zoli!
Wow! Your way of teaching guitar instructionals has always been fun and informative. Thanks, man.
I'm glad you find these ideas helpful!
Köszönöm Tamás! Zseniális vagy! Sokat segítettél!
Nagyon örülök ennek, köszönöm a visszajelzésedet! \m/
WOW
I'm glad you like it!
Nice melody guide ideas.
Thanks very much!
Nagyon jó Tomi! Nagyon tetszik!!! Gratulálok!! 👍🎸😎
Szia Imi, nagyon köszönöm, örülök hogy tetszik a videó! 🎸
Great content mate! I'll take the mini course for sure! My aproach is a bit diferrrent but I could learnsomething interesting there
Thanks a lot Juan Carlos! Hopefully you will like the course (you are a great player yourself, and this course is geared towards intermediate players, but there will be some interesting tricks there for sure;)
Thank you Tamás, very well presented lesson, fantastic breakdown!
Thanks so much Csaba, and I'm glad you like the video!
Can you make detailed video on chord tones or more on music theory mentioned here...
Yes, I'm planning to do new videos on this topic very soon.
@@JonasTamas also try to add importance of using triads in making solos and how to find those triads in the fretboard
First of all: thank you for this, nice work!
Can you explain exactly how you pick the chords? I see they are next to each other in the circle of the fourths/fifths but I can't see any other pattern.

@@JonasTamas this is sooo soo cool! thank you

But what about other scales? Not only Major and minor?
This video is about the first general steps for creating melodic solos over a basic chord progression. In future videos I'll talk about other scales like phrygian, lydian, etc.
What if the chords do not line up in the adjacent spots? What scale do you use then?
That's a great question! When this happens then most of the time the majority of the chords will be within 2 or 3 adjacent spots, and there is one outlier chord (sometimes two of them). The outlier will try to come closer to the the other chords. For example, ih a C, G, F, Eb progression the Eb major is far away, but the C, G, F chords will be collectively in 0#. The Eb major is at 3b, but will try to come closer so ends up with 2b scale (Eb lydian).
@@JonasTamas Thank you for the quick reply!! It helps a lot.
Illustration is not clear for beginners.Need some explanations.But can realize its the main theory
It is not for total beginners, but I'm glad to clarify it so if you have any questions, just let me know
