QUOTE (elmir050 @ Jan 6 2013, 04:02 PM)  Hello GMC, I am new here and I am looking forward to improve my guitar playing. I am especially interested in blues, classic rock and jazz. I've been playing guitar for almost 3 years but I only improved in my first year of playing. I just got my first electric guitar. What would you suggest me to improve my soloing? I want to be able to play solos from songs on guitar easily, improvise a bit and understand how scales work. Thank you. Elmir. Hi Elmir - welcome to GMC!  My suggestion would be to browse the GMC archive for the soloing lessons in the genres you have mentioned. Try to find a lesson that sounds cool to You and feels doable. Best way to get into playing lead - is to learn some new licks and solos. Lead guitar playing requires proficiency in several techniques, try to identify your weak spots : hammer-ons, pull-offs, bending etc. Once you do - find lessons focusing on those techniques and practice them one by one. Recommended lesson learning routine : 1. Learn a lesson note for note 2. Be able to play along with the backing track 3. Look at the scale lesson uses for the solo 4. Try to improvise your own solo over the same backing track by re-using the licks you have learned in the lesson - just change their order and places. Learn lead comes down to building your licks library and re-using stuff you know to spice up your ideas. To get the best out of each solo lesson on GMC - strive to practice your own version of the solo by changing some notes, licks order etc - over the exact same backing track. Look at the scale used for a "pallet" of possible notes to choose from. Hope this helps - see you in the forum! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I want to be able to play solos from songs on guitar easily, improvise a bit and understand how scales work. Thank you. Elmir. Hello. My advice is to do everything at once. Improve chords, technique and improvisation with scales. Do not want to take much, just a little of each and work it well: a few chords, the two basic scales (major and pentatonic) and one or two techniques at a time. When you improve is indicated that you learn a new chord and another technique, and so again and again ... The main thing is to play a lot, get the music of your favorite bands and learns to play his songs (in a simple way), that you will advance ... And of course, you can also follow my videos ... Greetings! -------------------- Welcome to "The Long and Winding Road" as a musician... I hope my videos will help you to become a better one!
