    This is beyond fantastic! Music theory, music history, the best soloing tips I've ever heard, and a personal story. A million dollar lesson, right there. Only it's free! Hats off to you, good sir.

      ​@@JoshSmithGuitar I've rewatched this video a few times now. It's really changing how I see the fretboard. I picked up the guitar and really tried to pick apart what it really means to spell out the chords for the first time. Definitely an "AHA" moment for me. Thanks so much Josh!

      I felt the same way a few years ago, watching him cover this lesson. It motivated me to start theory from scratch. Now, re watching him cover this lesson, it makes sense, when once it absolutely did not. Save this lesson, go back and learn all your notes on fretboard if you haven't already, and then learn chords in each key. I also learned my triads to do this. It took some time and hard work, but then come back to this lesson, and apply his practice technique, and bam! Good luck, the work is worth it!

      Aren’t you glad it happened? I don’t ever want to get to the point of where I know it all. I’m just a man, and so thankful that there is so much knowledge crying out in the streets that the journey never ends. For an added treat, do it on one chord and then change it the next time through. There’s a million ways to subvert their expectations, and he just showed you a very important one. Good luck in your journey, brother.

    Guys like Josh have played an listened to so much blues and jazz, they can think in terms of notes and music in a way that most people are simply not able to. It's like listening to a foreign language to people who aren't fluent in music theory and know every note on the fretboard. It takes a long time to get that good and have that kind of fluency on a guitar. There are no shortcuts, you just have to practice and learn it.

    Back in the late ‘70’s in college, Count Basie’s band played for a campus party. No joke!
    I had no idea who Freddie Green was at the time, but i stood on his side of the stage in total awe of his facility with chords. It seemed like every strum was a new shape, a new inversion, and continuois motion! Thanks Josh for showing us your musical path and your inspiration.

      Just keep playing man. You have these crazy breakthrough moments throughout your playing
      Everyone gets them at different points and its random but it all makes sense at some point. Juat takes dedication and practice. Real practice lol dont just noodle. You will progress so fast if you practice correctly. Tons of people noodle for years, then actually start playing and learning many years in and wishthey did it from the start, I've seen it many times.
      Hope you stick with it! You are in the right place for sure. Josh is THE MAN.

      Chord superimposition. Get Ted Greene’s Chord Chemistry and study the section on Blues (and the numerous turnarounds). You don’t have to play all the chords, you can play lines that represent the chords at certain points (this is really what Josh is saying). Ted also has a couple of single note soloing books out, the second one has ideas about playing over changes and things like melodic patterns, useful scale fingerings, etc. These two books will change your guitar life.
