I've been playing for 35 years (and getting paid) and my biggest growth spurt started when I found RUclips guitarist like yourselves willing to share.Guys keep up the great work. Guitar/music is food for the soul
Nice, friendly, easy-to-understand approach. I think you've addressed THE major weakness of many student rock soloists (a problem I had for years): thinking you can fly around in the scale or throw in licks in the key of the song without caring what the chord is at the moment. As you said, it's really hit-or-miss that way. Sometimes I just sit down with a fretboard diagram and draw in all the places where a particular chord can be played on the neck, then develop riffs around that chord in each of those spots on the neck. If you do this, you'll see places where you can re-use ideas. Again, really great approach and ideas. Thanks.
Chase Warner I started doing that when I decided to try to learn chord melody technique in jazz guitar. In that approach, your highest note in the chord is the melody note, and the lower notes are mostly or entirely from the chord at that spot in the song. I would look at somebody's chord melody arrangement of a jazz tune, and think, how in the heck did he come up with that? I got really confused really fast. It was totally mysterious. I used to think solos could only be either (a) totally spontaneous or (b) totally pre-planned. By developing licks around chords at different places on the neck (i.e., doing *some* planning and practice), I realized that I could be spontaneous within a somewhat planned "framework", and it would sound 1000 % better. Almost as if I knew what I was doing. :-) Best of luck, & thanks for the comment.
This really was one of those epiphany moments for me. It helped me to look at the fret board differently. I now see the notes in the chord context and not just the scale shape. Thanks PS !
Thank you Bro great lesson mi amigo... you just open a new way to practice and learn how to step up to the next level on my playing...Pura vida greeting's and Bless from CostaRica.
you guys couldnt be conducting online business in a finer manner. The more of this incredibly valuable free info I soak up the more I'm tempted to buy something just because these guys truly deserve it. It's nice to see people out there actually putting out value for the money they ask for....way more value in fact
I've watched and listened to dozens of tutorials but this has just made it all click in one watch. The money i've wasted on crap and now I know where to go with any chord. Thank you so much, I nearly packed it all in.
seriously, one of the best videos ive seen. you give the "tablature" instruction without the craziness of learning all those scales. just note relation. which is awesome..
You sir, are a remarkable teacher. I searched the Internet far and wide for a course that could explain this topic well, and this lesson was the best by a mile.
I'm learning guitar and I've been all over RUclips learning from different people for awhile now and found a few I go back too. Out of all that I've looked at, found your the best, just letting you know to keep it up, your awesome.....
I've been teaching myself for a fair few years and I've gone from playing TV themes in my early days to learning the songs that inspired me to play guitar in the first place, and as I've started making me own songs I have never been able to formulate my own solo's. But this video has finally put the whole idea into simple terms and I honestly cannot thank this channel enough because it's been the reason I put down my guitar so much (besides exams) for the last 3 years! So yeah thank-you guys and I will definitely be checking out some of your other stuff!
This is a great lesson! Broken down in easy to understand terms. I just viewed the same lesson same chords by some other dude and he had so much music theory going on that I had to listen to his video like five times before I almost understood it. Looking at this once made it totally clear. Great job. Whenever I played before I was always looking to land on the note of the next chord in the progression to make it sound right but this shows you can land on a number of target notes and it sounds great.
I find my self coming back your channel the most for guitar tips and inspiration. You have a way to reaching out to people in real life beginner scenarios and questions they would have when they pick up a guitar. Thank you and keep up the Good work!
Thank You. After years of teaching I had began to wonder if I was the only one out there teaching this basic form of chord scale relation theory. Great job explaining it. Gonna go check out your other videos and see what I can learn. Just subscribed.
I am very visually oriented and something I find helpful is knowing (seeing) the various chord inversions all over the neck and findings ways to use those notes when improvising a solo or fill. The most basic and easy to visualize are major and minor triads but use 7ths, maj 7, 9ths etc. I tend to use chromatics, bends, slides and various techniques to incorporate the chord notes into a phrase. you kind of touch on it but could be expanded.
As Mr.Burns would say "EXCELLENT'! Really helpful lesson Mr.Stache. The part about hanging on a target note, so simple and it makes me sound like I know what I'm doing. This is like a light bulb moment lesson for me. Thanks for the free instruction and the great playing.
Thank you Papa Stache. Just a little thing that I learned from taking guitar in college. You can also play the 7th degree of each chord over these chords as well. This is especially useful over the 5 chord because in a 1, 4, 5 progression. The 5 chord is going to a Dominant 7th chord instead of a Major 7th chord. Meaning you will be playing a minor 7th over the root of the 5 chord instead of a Major seventh over the 1 and 4 respectively. A, C#, E, G#. D, F#, A, C#. E, G#, B, D. Try it :).
Man, that´s really the best performed lesson I´ve ever seen in the tube, easy to understand without being stupid, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. Thanks a lot !!!
No need to thank us - Thank you (all of you). And this lesson just opened my eyes to what I didn't understand about how to get going. I just got the big package & was worried what to do & now I'm primed and going to practice till I get it. So glad I got a guitar & wouldn't know what to do without it now. Thanks to all who helped @ guitar jamz + NLG - Gary
There have been others that have made good sense as well, but he really breaks it on down where you just can't deny understanding! REAL practical approach!!
I have been improvising by mix, matching, and modifying different phrases I learn without thinking of notes at all besides the roots. Now I've realized that I have to learn theory to really progress. Since I have found out that there are some really good teachers out in UT. You are the best. Thanks again for posting! P.S. I'm 50 and playing at home is my therapy.
Hey brett... I am an established guitar player for more than 30 years. But theory is not one of my strong points. So I have been working on that lately and this video is so easy to understand. Thank much! Keep up the good work brother
You've just helped me reach a level that makes me ridiculously excited just even holding a guitar and I haven't felt that for a long time. Thanks a bunch man.
Great work, seriously, there are many sites out there and you and Marty do the most stellar job relating to the average joe schmo who is trying to learn their abilities and you make it less confusing. Everyone player needs to see this lesson.
WOW! Thank you sir! This guy just cleared up a TON of issues I was having. The only problem with the most of these videos here on RUclips its there's umpteen bazillion "guitar instructional" videos here but sorting through the ones that actually help versus the ones that don't do any good at all can be a painstaking arduous time consuming task. This guy here knows how to do it and I highly recommend him......moustache and all!
Broken down perfectly.. Diagram works in such a simple way!! One of my fave lessons for getting me away from resolving on the root note of each chord , ALL THE TIME!!!! Great lesson :)
Great lesson, I never actually see that pattern of pentatonic that easily found by knowing the A pattern chord. This lesson does stick to my brain now.
I like to learn as many easy ways to explain stuff to my students, and this has a couple ideas I will try.. Thanks man!! maybe you can steal some of my ideas too ;)
The 7th interval of the chord also makes for a good target note! Switching scales with the chords is something you want to do only sometimes. You don't want to do it all the time. Most guitarists play a single scale going outside of it just to hit target notes. Like on a 12 bar blues in A Major you play the Blues scale in A Minor throughout only playing outside of it to hit target notes, usually just on the first measure of a bar.
Diax1324 I've been playing guitar for 35 years and watching RUclips instructional videos for 5 years now. I like this guy a lot, just because he's cool, but the best lessons on RUclips are from fretjam. You'll know the theory I'm talking about in days if you watch fretjam's videos.
As he states - sometimes hearing another musician point things out in simple terms makes things much clearer; I.e. writing down the notes of the key scale, writing down the notes of each progression chord, comparing common notes used in progression chords, then playing root of each (1st pass), 3rd (2nd pass), and 5th (3rd pass). It has all been right there in front of me, but never explained in this way. This should make riff/lead building and improvising in general much easier. THANKS!
For beginning guitar players - What I do myself, is record myself playing the rhythm section first and then fill in the spots for a riff or a solo.. This video is also very helpful since you don't have to figure out the target notes from scratch :) So thank you for this nice video
This has got to be one of the best & well explained lessons on you tube. thank you soo much for shareing all of this great info,please keep up the good work,you are getting me out of my same old rut
It might help, for easy reference, if you remember than the root note on any string will be surrounded by the 4th and 5th on the strings on either side of the root, with the slight kink on the B string. So if you forget where you are in any pentatonic pattern, you can use that shortcut as a guide till you come back on track.
I just want to take this time out to thank you and Marty for the great guitar video lessons that you both put out. I wish that i had somethimg like this 20 years ago.
Wow - awesome lesson! I have to admit, I passed over this vid when the notebook came out, but when I finally LISTENED to it, I found it extremely helpful!! Really a great lesson. Thanks!
Awesome! You really helped me to understand the concept better.TY! I will be practicing this as much as possible.I'm wonder tho'. how i will incorporate the blues scale into this idea? I'm gonna fool around with it on my own and see what comes up.lol Thanks again for making it simple.
@Damian Piekut I'm no expert or anything. But what i know is this: Theory builds your playing. I started out learning the pentaton scales just for playing. Then i started with paid lessons and just wanted to start having a lot of theory work. Because theory will absolutely help you understand music and improve your soloing skills a hell of a lot! My advice is to start learning theory to fully understand what goes on in a solo and music in general. I don't know if u already do theory though..
Greetings from Ecuador, South America. Just wanted to thank you for the ideas, you broke down theory very well and easily for me, and can't wait to try and apply this ideas to my playing. Thank you again. I have notices that you enjoy playing through divided by 13 amps, any recommendations for an amp that I could use for blues, country and southern rock styles?
I give it up to you kind people from guitarjamz. You guys passing on your knowledge of this instrument for the people who have the passion to listen, is just an honor. Thank you. Do you guys have a band?
Hey thanks papa stache,you're great at helping a guitar player learn something new.There's been times i've gotten so frustrated that i wanted to put the guitar down and never pick it back up.But you and marty share some good tips.Oh yeah you guys would be surprise to know how well you guys are known on youtube,you guys are fixtures in alot of guitar players lifes.Once again thanks.
Totally agree. Target notes are for starting or ending a phrase or just to gfive it its modal feel IMO-To sort of give the feel of the particular mode your in. For instance, If in an A dorian mode song, Say an Am/D progression-a cool "target" note is F# (B string).
Thanx for making the theory more understandable, can you break down the complete solo in the beginning of this video? Including which scale you are in? Really want to learn this solo , a for awesome that is, good excercise to..
I know this question was not to me, but I think the greatest advice I've personally heard was from Steve Vai. He said that you should sing along with your guitar. You sing the phase first, and then try to follow what you just sang with your guitar. Improvise by setting a metronome or a backing track, sing (or whistle) what you wants to play, and then respond with your guitar. At the begining is hard but you will connect your mind with you're fretboard.
Hey brother thanks a shit ton for taking the time to teach us your knowledge!! This was a really different approach then what I have been seeing in other videos and really helped open my eyes. Sometimes it just takes the right person to explain something to you in a way so that you can comprehend how it works or can work Great stuff~ thank you very much.
Outstanding... I was playing as you were teaching this and I could already here it working... Hey if I drummer gets it... You MUST be a great teacher! LOL!! Thanks! Chris
great video. how do you stay aware of what chord you're on while still concentrating on your notes and riffs? and what if you lose your place and don't know what chord you're on?
always liked how marty broke songs to small pieces & put them back, i learned more songs from that tecnique, i agree w-u on that. you do a pretty good job youreself,thanks for all the small pieces of advice,they have gone a long way to help me as well.
you ever get to where something just clicks well thats what happened the secend time i watched this video and playing around something in the way you put it out there just made me see it , and its just amazing thanks im having a ball with it and burning my tips up lol, i really mean it thanks for this video it is my hail mary!

never thought to try that- I think I will be printing fretboard diagrams a little later on today.

Chris Lynch a good idea
Chris Lynch I also do the same as you and it works well.

seriously, one of the best videos ive seen. you give the "tablature" instruction without the craziness of learning all those scales. just note relation. which is awesome..
37 yrs of guitar playing under my belt, and this remains the finest tutorial on breaking down the strategy for soloing thru a 1 4 5 , well done!
You sir, are a remarkable teacher. I searched the Internet far and wide for a course that could explain this topic well, and this lesson was the best by a mile.
This was one of the best lessons I've watched. I never understood why certain notes made up chords till now. Thanks man!

Very,very nice job showing target notes with beautiful phrasing! Thanks so much!

Man, that´s really the best performed lesson I´ve ever seen in the tube, easy to understand without being stupid, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. Thanks a lot !!!
Thanks man, they are simple but effective ways to improvise that sometimes in our "urge" to fry the fretboard, we forget .

How do you get the time to make lessons and still sing in Motorhead?
What are you talking about? He's a lot better looking than Lemmy Kilmister
Matthew McConaughey? Seriously?
***** wut
João Ebling What? Is the guitarist in the video Lemmy Kilmister
+Chris Linville Yes, spot on. I think Paul Rudd has the same beard in one film.
Hey brett... I am an established guitar player for more than 30 years. But theory is not one of my strong points. So I have been working on that lately and this video is so easy to understand. Thank much! Keep up the good work brother
Wow.I gotta say papa you really cleared up some questions that have been plaguing me for some time now. Good,simplified breakdown.Thanks papa.
You've just helped me reach a level that makes me ridiculously excited just even holding a guitar and I haven't felt that for a long time. Thanks a bunch man.
Great work, seriously, there are many sites out there and you and Marty do the most stellar job relating to the average joe schmo who is trying to learn their abilities and you make it less confusing. Everyone player needs to see this lesson.
Hey papa dope little intro. i was diggin it. i couldnt even get through the lesson because you made me wanna turn a jam track on and plug in
One of the best lessons to follow and learn. Thanks, I love your approach! Cheers!
I'm 6 minutes in and already my mind is blown, I love guitar jamz!
Whether by accident or design, this is quite possibly the best instructural guitar video on the whole of YT.
I forgot how good the "Papa" is and informative his videos are. Thanks and please keep doing it.
Great eye opening lesson. Now to study the fretboard.
WOW! Thank you sir! This guy just cleared up a TON of issues I was having.

One of my fave lessons for getting me away from resolving on the root note of each chord , ALL THE TIME!!!!
Great lesson :)
One of the most useful lessons I've ever seen!! I will need to re-run this one at least more than a few times! :)
Thanks for a helpful video. You've illustrated answers to several questions I've had about improvising.
Great lesson, I never actually see that pattern of pentatonic that easily found by knowing the A pattern chord. This lesson does stick to my brain now.

shouldn't you be out saving the multi-verse?

Ok dude this is old video but damn it is really helpful! 8 years later and still helping people.
First video of this guy. Im a big dude but every time he says "legit" with his high voice i just crack. So sympathetic. Subbed.
As he states - sometimes hearing another musician point things out in simple terms makes things much clearer; I.e. writing down the notes of the key scale, writing down the notes of each progression chord, comparing common notes used in progression chords, then playing root of each (1st pass), 3rd (2nd pass), and 5th (3rd pass).

Im just learning......These types of videos are giving me a good road map to start out on the right road.
It might help, for easy reference, if you remember than the root note on any string will be surrounded by the 4th and 5th on the strings on either side of the root, with the slight kink on the B string. So if you forget where you are in any pentatonic pattern, you can use that shortcut as a guide till you come back on track.
This is the best explanation of this concept on RUclips. I've been looking for this for a long time thank you!!
I just want to take this time out to thank you and Marty for the great guitar video lessons that you both put out. I wish that i had somethimg like this 20 years ago.

Greetings from Ecuador, South America. Just wanted to thank you for the ideas, you broke down theory very well and easily for me, and can't wait to try and apply this ideas to my playing. Thank you again. I have notices that you enjoy playing through divided by 13 amps, any recommendations for an amp that I could use for blues, country and southern rock styles?
Great teaching method very inspiring and personable
Thanks very much for your time
I give it up to you kind people from guitarjamz. You guys passing on your knowledge of this instrument for the people who have the passion to listen, is just an honor.
Thank you. Do you guys have a band?
One of the best instructional video I've seen. Good job!!!
Hey thanks papa stache,you're great at helping a guitar player learn something new.There's been times i've gotten so frustrated that i wanted to put the guitar down and never pick it back up.But you and marty share some good tips.Oh yeah you guys would be surprise to know how well you guys are known on youtube,you guys are fixtures in alot of guitar players lifes.Once again thanks.
fantastic tone from guitar & amp. sound to die for and great solo at start.
Some nice bluesy soloing in the intro. Very reminiscent of players like Mick Ralphs and David Gilmour.
My GOD !!! I have so many lights going off in my brain. I always wondered about these things and you cleared it up. THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Great lesson! I appreciate the way you explain things.. By the way, what are the pickups you have in your bridge? Love the sound.
I think you've just unlocked something big for me. Major not minor thanks!
This guy really knows what he's talking about. It's a pleasure listening to his theory and method.
Very good lesson on the subject and nice melodic playing :) For me the ultimate rock solo which hits target notes is that of Hotel California.
you sir have helped many, including myself, and for that i thank you.
Totally agree. Target notes are for starting or ending a phrase or just to gfive it its modal feel IMO-To sort of give the feel of the particular mode your in. For instance, If in an A dorian mode song, Say an Am/D progression-a cool "target" note is F# (B string).
Thanks man, I really appreciate this topic. You are the best, take it. I love your method of simplicity!
Look simple enough , but every note was perfectly placed .
Very Cool
Most backing tracks in A Major have four-note chords like A7-D7-E7.
A7 is made of four notes: A7-C#-E & G. Would the G-note become a target note too?
This is an amazing lesson and explanation using an easy to read chart. Mucho appreciated.
Thanx for making the theory more understandable, can you break down the complete solo in the beginning of this video? Including which scale you are in? Really want to learn this solo , a for awesome that is, good excercise to..
I know this question was not to me, but I think the greatest advice I've personally heard was from Steve Vai. He said that you should sing along with your guitar.

At the begining is hard but you will connect your mind with you're fretboard.
What a great way to explain the concept. Good job.
This may well be the best Papastache video I've seen to date!
I know nothing about theory, keys, blah blah, but i can play...this opened up a whole new world. Awesome job.
Hey brother thanks a shit ton for taking the time to teach us your knowledge!! This was a really different approach then what I have been seeing in other videos and really helped open my eyes. Sometimes it just takes the right person to explain something to you in a way so that you can comprehend how it works or can work
Great stuff~ thank you very much.
Your'e just great . lovely positive attitude . Perfect for making a person want to try out what you're teaching . Even better than Marty :) .
Love the guitar sound. Are you running straight into the amp? Overdrive? or what?.... Great Honk to the sound Marvelous!!!
Outstanding... I was playing as you were teaching this and I could already here it working...
Hey if I drummer gets it... You MUST be a great teacher! LOL!! Thanks! Chris
