Welcome my friend, you came into the right place
For startin up i recommand to learn the modes with scale generator, it can be very helpfull for you https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator/ There you can find any mode you like on the entire freatbord. After you've learned all the positions try to get into the chord progression concept, so you will learn the chords that can be built over each step of the progression https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=564197 After you've learned the concept of chord progression and you can handle all the modes on the freatbord you should try to look at some lessons that will teach you how to make a good phrasing Ionian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ionian-workout/ Dorian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...rian-mode-solo/ Phrigian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/phrygi...loing-beginner/ Lidian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...e-lydian-scale/ Mixolidian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues_...ovisation_in_A/ This lesson contains other scales over a I IV V progression, but you can find some mixolydian tricks in it Aeolian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...lead-beginners/ Locrian mode lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/locria...ed-with-triads/ And the coolest is this containing 45 scales in one solo https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/45-Gui...es-In-One-Solo/ But of course, i am here for you anytime you need me or have any questions This post has been edited by Marius Pop: May 6 2014, 09:53 PM |

Very good question!
Besides the tips guys posted, I would like to add that learning how to follow chord changes would be a good place to start in order to be able to play fluently. Now what is the first step here? Playing chord tones (=arpeggios). Those are your strong notes and the first step in playing fluently is to always be able to land on them per need. They give the melody definition and makes it feel "at home". Once you can master going through changes using chord tones only (notes from the chords that are playing in the backing track), you'll be ready to add the "extra notes". Once you can follow chord changes with chord tones, you should be able to feel like the playing is more defined and fluent. Take one progression at a time and practice the changes and really digging into what is played in the backing track (which chords and where the chord changes occur). Here are some lessons I would suggest along these lines : - Jazz Guitar Basics Even if your ultimate goal is not jazz soloing, you should go through this guide as it covers a lot of essentials when it comes to arpeggios utilization and following changes. - Targeting Chord Tones Video Lesson - Major Arpeggios Exercise - Minor Arpeggios Exercise - Chord Tone Solo In Am Video Lesson - Arpeggio/Chord Tone Solo -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Find a solo that you like and start learning it and the chords behind it (the harmony)
Honestly, at this point in your development it'll serve you better than worrying about modes. *I'm not saying "don't practice modes/scales". Learn some songs and solos and then see how that actual MUSIC relates to the modes and scales ... not the other way around. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
