It was a revelation for me in fiddle. Someone pointed out to me that bluegrass flat pickers basically just hold the cord and add hammer ones and pull is and I was like wait I can do that too. So I just wrote all the notes of the chords and added passing tones between them and viola solo
systems > willpower. if you want to make a change, craft your environment (house, co-workers, friends, media consumption, etc). stay away from being able to buy them. leave your ID at home if you have to go to a place that has them. easier to not eat junk food if you dont buy it or have it in the house. you can also work on discipline but systems usually will win. path of least resistance :)
This makes me realise the song "Choo Lo" by "The Local Train" has the same progression, and hence this same solo fits pretty good with the song. Loved the advice 💯
Sounds great! I love minor progressions on solos, I've been trying to learn more theory (as per your advice) and it's really helped with the creative process of writing and improving music
I personally memorized where each specific note is on the 5 diatonic positions across the fretboard (where each 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 note is). Then memorized 1st, 3rds and 5ths of chords within a key (and extensions). And combined it while following chord tone rules. This also helps to play any scale if you know the theory because you know where to move a note (for example Harmonic Minor, you just take the 5th note of the major scale up a semitone and use relative minor as tonic).
That was fantastic. Used to play Mostly heavy metal but arthritis made it impossible. My late wife was a concert violist, we had fun just jamming together until she got a severe ear infection in both ears and actually had to have her ear drums removed and replaced with cadaver ear drums 😢. She couldn't hear the notes like before. I miss so much😢. What attracted her to me was the playing and my long hair😂. Still got the hair. So cool seeing young people still shredding!! Im 60. Funny at the moment u said GET OFF THE CIGARETTES" i was taking a hit!! Couldn't stop laughing 😂😂. Keep rocking little brother. GROW YOUR HAIR!! 😂😂
All early guitarist should learn from this guy(or however) all you can,go and put it in back of mind, improvise and know where on fretboard to finger the sound you hear in head.
Take a look at the solo from "Losing A Whole Year" by Third Eye Blind (their guitarist at the time, Kevin Cadogan, was a bloody genius). If you ignore the weird tuning and crazy wah, he listerally plays one lick four times, just in different positions on the guitar, depending on which chord he's on. Not like he has a lot to choose from - it's just A, E, B and B again
Damn, dude, you watching me or something? I'm watching this clip while smoking, and this "get off the cigarettes" like flip off me. Anyway, I love your content, you're fookin' awesome, man.
Bro im smoking a cigarette in my car... Connected to bluetooth turned all the way up and decided to watch this because it came up in a search about something else ... Well that ending scared the sh*t out of me lmao
Thanks brother man the good little lesson here what classic part of it isn't the end when you say get off the cigarettes as I'm choking one down right now thank you for your concern aloha
😢 I don’t understand how people can use their hands and fingers to produce that sweetness and melodies. I am still struggling to at least make a single simple solo over a chord progression. I am stuck with the basics chords, triads, and major scale. What I should do?
Dangit lol 😅 i was just bout to light one up outside on my rocker ,,, when he said " GET OFF THE CIGG's lol ,, allmost lit my hair instead Lol ,,,, but hes right i should let the ciggs go for real thanks bro❤❤❤
He yelled, "get off the cigarettes" right before I was about to light up. I dropped my head, put the Cigarette back in the pack and now I sit here feeling like a kid that got caught doing something that they knew damn well they should not have been. thank you Sir.
One basic doubt .. During a solo Can a play notes of other chords as well or it is good to play only the notes of the chords that is played at the background ??
52 Week Guitar Player reopens for enrollment on June 16. Join the waiting list here ya bunch of bitches: brandondeon.com/survey-page2
The first hint you played on the second solo sounds like “I’m a Barbie girl”
ngl, this is generally how I solo on my classical guitar. I cannot bend the strings on it.
Youre just not bending enough lol

@@Lishwimp Yeah, I was kinda getting at at that, you can get a full step, if you bend over the entire board :D
@@Lishwimp its not that hard in the 7-12 frets it takes a bit More effort but its doable
Bro you can do vibrato on strings and similiar to bending the string not the same but similiar...😅
I actually quit smoking about 1 year and 6 days ago. Feels good to say that! Now if only i could solo
Keep it up bro!!
If you can quit smoking, you can definitely learn to solo.
U quite smoking
Now u have more time to learn the solo
Its been 4 months for me good luck.
@@KhemZombi3 9 months now hopefully! if not, that's okay, every journey has its setbacks
Bro that get off the cigs felt like a personal message. I'm currently struggling with quitting cigs.
The way to do it is to not want to anymore. Have a genuine internal burn for quitting.
The way I quit is I realized I was waking up coughing hard every morning and how much it sucked and decided to just be done with it finally. Took a lot of years to get there but I did. And it helps to realize that I’m saving like $600 a year now

Well, you know what to do!
He’s watching you… this is your warning
@@CalebA_Guitarist lol
It’s like his catchphrase or something
Ya same here dude
I love this!
I always thought of doing differnt spots for the solo but never the chord progression.
Sometime you can not see in front of your face.
It's like my mom says "if it were a snake, it'd bite me in the face"

smoking a cigarette as I'm watching this, you can't stop me ( i am incredibly weak minded and my bodily desires have control over my spirit)
I was about to stand up to go smoke when he screamed it
Q. Do you smoke after sex?
A. I dunno, I've never looked.
Boom boom. 💥
Yeah, that thing gets you chills.

I greatly appreciate your efforts. Because of it people will vastly improve

As a complete amateur who has picked up the guitar again after 15/20 years, your videos really help me
Your playing is so inspirational man!! You've taught me some awesome things this last week!!
...one of your better,most useful vids....Thanx.

Basically the foundation of chord tones
I love this guy!
After many years trying to figure out how to solo over chords I finally get it😊, thank you 🙏
So good it brings tears to my eyes
I love your videos man!! I'm still a beginner, but I watch the advanced lessons because... I'll get there ..lol.
Thank you so much for this ❤😊

Aloha, and thank you for this wonderful lesson. I love the ending when you shout out. Get off the cigarettes, LOL. Working out that brother, man.
Brandon brother you are legend,thanks for everything!
this thing with cigarettes is brutal 🤣
I love this advice actually. Think I'll grind this skill set for while

Bro Called me out directly at the end... 💀
Holy crap I never thought of this. Thank you ❤
Cigarettes? That was thirty years ago!
The music lesson, Brilliant! 🎸
Samesies. :)-~
This is a superb lesson and a great way to practice.
Quit cigs since December. Now im 20% closer to nailing my solos. Wish me luck!
Simple, yet brilliant!
Thank God I quit smoking in 1987. Well, one thing less to get yelled at for, take the win. Now if I could only solo like Brandon....
Playing solo over different progressions is much easier than getting off the cigg! 🙌🏻
You da man Brandon!
Thank you @brandondeon ,God bless you
Ending is good❤
Great post. Great insight!
Music sounds like 2 people in gladiators are fighting to get to the top of the hill, i dig it.
I love it, so funny and so much info !
LMFAOO!! GET OFF THE CIGARETTES! So out of nowhere I'm cracking up
Thank you very much for sharing! Cheers from Indonesia.
Thanks for the unwarranted cig motivation 😂
Sabaton uses this technique a lot on their solos
I almost started smoking again, but now i'm improvising to "Easy Groove Backing track Jam in A minor"
Great!! And thank so much by the advise about cigarretes.
Damn, dude, you watching me or something? I'm watching this clip while smoking, and this "get off the cigarettes" like flip off me. Anyway, I love your content, you're fookin' awesome, man.
I split my water when he shouts at the end 😂
😂😂 the attack on the cigs at the end
This guy's like, "Cnsider taking up cigarettes!" "Get off of the cigarettes!"
00:23 I thought for sure you were about to say "learn how to play the guitar"
Being stuck at intermediate is a b*tch. thank you guitar guy
You gotta keep telling me to quit smoking cuz I may actually do it.
I hear semi charmed kind of life when he plays this
Brandon is our Modern Day Paul Gilbert😎
uhm no
Nice video!! I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I will definitely try this
Excellent !

So I'm outside watching shorts while i smoke aaaaand...
Thanks btw, this video was helpful
Great ❤❤ technique boss
That's f n awesome!
you teach me so much
Here comes the triads
Sir yessir!
omg thank you so much
Guy is low-key teaching how to sweep pick. I dig it!
Also, don't tell me to ditch the cigarettes. I vape 😅
Last line made me howl 🤣
Smoking a cigarette while watching this, guess I'm a rebel
Thanks brother man the good little lesson here what classic part of it isn't the end when you say get off the cigarettes as I'm choking one down right now thank you for your concern aloha
this is how you write basslines. of course it works wtf
Thanks so much, Brandon, for helping me get off cigarettes
Dang man, how did you know I was smoking a ciggie while watching this. 😅
Damn thank you
Sounded like Buckethead!
🤘
Lmao was smoking when I saw this...yea I gotta quit and work on my solos more 🤣

I believe that’s called arpeggios…
The real age-old question we should and all deserve to know is her bar chords do you use your ring finger or pinky or both?
I might can't learn in my hole life .... fucking is so good sound
You can also just use the triads
Me who plays two finger power chords: easy enough
This whole video is for me. Even the scolding at the end :/ Dead right
Then there’s people like me who just shreds random notes where only a non guitar player would find it impressive.
He yelled, "get off the cigarettes" right before I was about to light up. I dropped my head, put the Cigarette back in the pack and now I sit here feeling like a kid that got caught doing something that they knew damn well they should not have been. thank you Sir.
But I want a manly voice... right now I just sound like Brandon Deon...
Funny how as i learn guitar i get more and more of theese shorts, 1 month ago it was gibberish to me
Dude I was just smoking, quiting slowly haha
Me * stubbing out ciggy
Brandon:- Get Off The Cigarettes
Also me...😳 How do you just know 😂😂😂
Well I was gonna go out for a smoke but suppose I won't now
First video with no swearing, thank you
Bending ‘two whole steps’ on most electric guitars, gives your strings a 50% chance it might not snap.
how did you know i was puffing the butt of my cigarette?
One basic doubt .. During a solo Can a play notes of other chords as well or it is good to play only the notes of the chords that is played at the background ??
😂 the ending
thanks! i have a project due for guitar lmao
