  • Mastering leading tones will make your soloing sound more melodic, making your solos cooler and richer than just playing a scale up and down the neck. But, more importantly, targeting leading tones will help you MASTER musical tension. And when you can master musical tension, everyone will want to hear YOU play! It's an easy concept, so let’s dig in:

    • @curiousguitarist

      My Father worked at Lockheed in Burbank, CA on the P-3 and SR71 projects, and I have always loved aviation, since I was a kid, but have never worked in the field myself.
      I have led teams of engineers (software mostly) and done some secondary engineering on manufacturing projects, so maybe THAT'S what's coming through?

    To paraphrase Victor Wooten regarding leading tones, if you're moving through a note that's not where you want to be now or for long, the right note is just one fret away, up or down. Make it sound like you meant to do that. Maybe even do it twice to make it sound like you REALLY meant to do that, if there's enough time. When you resolve it the relief is powerful.

    Chris can you try to make another video like a part two that would illustrate and focus on the leading tones of different modes because the modes have certain leading tones that don't go from the 7th to the one there they're leading tones are in a different skill degree and so to emphasize that as well as using other scales and adding leaning tones to your guitar solos instead of it just sounding like you're running up and down major minor scales to try to focus on different leading tones that will be from harmonic minor fridge and dominant Lenny and dominant that will have the leading tones and you focus on those modes of Dorian lydian to have on instead of the solo sounding very vanilla in plain instead of the solo sounding very plain and vanilla of major minor we could focus on more of the leading tones from different scales to add into the the normal vanilla plain sounding scales

      Probably the formulas video, and the octaves video. Both are older but might be great starting points to get the fretboard mapped out.
