In this lesson Rolly gets you on the road to playing improvisationally over all manner of chord progressions. It will teach you how, with just a couple basic scales, you can understand how all of the twelve tones fit into a framework for soloing, and, then, how you can develop great soloing chops without even thinking about scales. Material covered includes:
Major and Blues scales; the basic building blocks.
Understanding how each note sounds within a key signature by training your ear.
Altered and Hybrid Blues Scales, for more advanced ear training.
Pentatonic major scales for country/rock guitar.
How to approach solo fingerstyle Blues improvisation.
Rolly's 3 step process for non-scale soloing, based on chord shapes and arpeggios.
Chord melody playing.
Physical mechanisms for expressive soloing.
Making your music sound human.
Tab/music material is on the DVD as a PDF file.
