I am looking for a good intro lesson on chord tone soling here on GMC, and seem to be having a problem finding one, although I have found plenty out on the net. Search of "Chord Tone" did not produce what I am looking for. Anyone have an recommendations - Since this is new for me, need something in the 3-4 difficulty range to get me started. I see Ben Higgins posted something on this a few weeks back but its more advanced)level 6) than I think I can handle at this time, so hoping there's something a little more comprehensive, to help with quicker chord progressions where its hard to jump to new scale shapes for each change.

Thanks,
Michael

Hey Michael

Maybe try searching for Arpeggios instead of chord tones. They essentially mean the same thing, so your search will show you lessons on that subject, just with a different title than chord tones.

Here's a link to get you there.

Also, check out these two lessons to help understanding chord tones better on guitar.

Thanks. not exactly what I was looking for as I understand arpeggios, but trying to get a better handle on using them in a practical sense with a fast moving chord progression. Like maybe playing an Arpeggio on the tonic, and then just rocking the pentatonic for the rest of the progression.

The Ben Higgins recent lesson is not too bad, even though it says difficulty is 6 so I may just work on that a bit.

Hi mate, a good way to understand and practice "following the chords" is studying "Chord melody". That's how my guitar teacher taught it to me. Here you will find some lessons that give you tools to be able to learn it. Then you just have to apply it over backing tracks.
