If you follow the improvisation course you'll notice that the first week covers the two most popular shapes and then the following week covers the other 3 ones. Then, you'll find sequences and other stuff that will help you to get used to the different shapes.
Each shape can be learn by itself and then you can work on connecting them. The connection can be done vertically on 1 string or playing one shapes up and getting back down using the following. Again, learning the Pentatonic scale in this way first will give you a good base and template to then incorporate the modes that are build adding 2 notes more. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, thanks for your words. I think that it's a good idea! I'll do a video about it in the future.
However I'll give you some details here. I've started playing guitar when I was a little child. My favourite bands in those years where Guns and roses, Queen, Ramones, Rolling Stones, Nirvana among many others. I've always enjoyed songs over guitar solos. Inspired mostly by Slash I started playing on an old nylon guitar every day until my parents bought me my first electric guitar at the age of 11. With the pass of time, guitar started to become and addiction and I used to play guitar all day after school. My inspiration was always evolving in any sense. I can see the map of my musical evolution during those years very clearly. First goal: Learning to play like Rolling Stones, Ramones, Guns and roses. Second goal: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. Third goal: Yngwie Malmsteen, Gilbert, Satriani, Vay and Power Metal Bands Fourth goal: Dream Theater, Petrucci, and progressive classics. Fifth goal: Learning harmony and composition. I become very interested on production and composition. I've started playing and analizying classical music as well as any other style (pop, fusion). Sixth goal: Make my own band and achieve my dreams. These items where the motivators that make me study a lot, analyse music, practice, going to university, private teachers and everything I've done. I'm seen most as a guitarist here but I consider myself more a composer/producer who loves guitar. This is why I listen to every type of music. Music is so inspiring and exciting! Ok, I could be talking hours about all the things I've done. Imagine that I've been more than 20 years dedicating to music EVERY day, at least 3 hours... most of the days more hours...  -------------------- My lessons

I started playing along my favourite songs using songbooks. At the age of 12/13, a blues rock teacher taught me the Pentatonic Scale and it was like magic! I could solo over every song. So I used to play over the songs all day, I played the chords but also jammed over them. I have done this for many years, learning songs, learning its progressions, analysing the key, scales, and jamming over them. This, combined with technique exercises have been my main approach to music and guitar...
When I got into more complex styles like progressive, tango, classical, blues jazz, and fusion, I had to study more about theory in order to understand what was happening. I'm still learning new things every day... -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (AyanG @ Apr 20 2016, 01:46 PM)  Can I learn in the same way.....I feel its more inspiring....coz unless and until I play some songs based upon chords or a scale,it becomes a bit boring....but when a song is played it seems I can find how is it put to use....how the sound is when applied to a song.... Sure! You can! The tricky part nowadays is that there is too much information and student can get distracted too quickly. The secret is to go deep with each song and practice it every day for at least some months... -------------------- My lessons

Ok, that's a cool list. This could be your repertory and your whole practice could be based around these songs. We should group the songs by their difficulty to start with the easier ones. I remember learning simplified versions of my favourite songs when I was a beginner in order to play them no matter what. This was the trick to play every day at every time...
You can also start by learning songs without solos and only play those solos that are at your level. The trickier ones can be goals in which we will base the complementary exercises and lessons. This is how I would organize the groups: Easier: behind blue eyes patience(guns n roses) comfortably numb smoke on the water turn the page(metallica) More difficult: hotel california sweet child o mine still got the blues(gary moore) hollow years(dream theater) soldier of fortune You could start this week with two of the first group. Learn the songs, play along with backing tracks or real songs and share here a video to let me see what other exercises you should practice to master the songs. At the same time, I'd like you to analyze the songs. You should write down the structure, the key, chord progressions (grades), scale used, and details about overall arrangement and production. Any question? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (AyanG @ Apr 24 2016, 12:59 PM) Wow....thanks.....will start doing as u say......I didn't understood what is structure and what u meant by overall arrngmnt and prductn? Structure refers to identify the parts of a song: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse 2, bridge, solo section, instrumental section, etc. Arrangements refers to what the instruments are doing. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate,
here I am to help you. Please share what you got and then I'll help you to complete the analysis and how to continue... It's totally GREAT to find scales and chords that you don't know in those songs... that's what we are looking for... -------------------- My lessons
