However, when working on chord tone soloing I want you to go through whole guitar neck and do some linear sort of playing (play through the guitar neck from lowest to highest point). Does that make sense? Keep up the good work and do more choruses (do whole backing track in fact!). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I want you to listen to this take and see how I approached it as easy soloing approach (roots, roots and 3rds, roots 3rds 5ths, roots 3rds 5ths and 7ths).

Oct 3 2009, 10:05 PM	Instructor Posts: 8.109 Joined: 13-September 08 From: Nis, Serbia	Matt my solo was done using simple approach and ideas. 1st chorus - soloing with just Roots 2nd chorus - soloing with Roots and 3rds 3rd chorus - soloing with Roots 3rds and 5ths 4th chorus - soloing with Roots 3rds 5ths and 7ths I tried to cover as many octaves as possible when doing this type of approach. This makes sure that you really think where the notes are. Also, this approach helps you gradually learn chord tones from any given chord! So for Emin7 A7 Dmaj7 , roots are E A D, roots and 3rds are E G A C# D F# etc Your solo could be improved in many ways. For starters I think you need to do this approach first as it will help you see where all the chord tones are, then you can start being creative with it as much as you want You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Oct 3 2009, 10:09 PM	Accomplished Tone Master Posts: 1.745 Joined: 17-January 08 From: Scotland	Ok, I'll try that approach. One question though, does "chord tones" mean playing notes of all the chords in the progression at anytime, or does it mean playing just the notes of the chord that you are soloing over at the time. I'm nearly certain it's the second one but I just want to make sure. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'll keep going at it and I'll try and upload something tomorrow, but I wondered if you had anymore tips? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Oct 4 2009, 10:09 PM	Instructor Posts: 8.109 Joined: 13-September 08 From: Nis, Serbia	Sure thing Matt. Try to figure out the notes first before playing them. So roots are E A and D. Find those notes on the neck and shapes (interval jumps in between them). If you memorize that, then next chorus you will just add some sort of 3rd to these notes, then 5ths etc So you will keep building over and over until you get full 4 note arpeggio sound. I could send you slower backing track, that could help as well You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It's quite simple, so I'll try to make it more interesting, but if you could tell me if I'm on the right track then that'd be great.

I think I understand everything up to the examples of Coltrane Changes, but the examples don't seem to make sense. I was wondering if you could have a go at explaining them to me?
