Having Trouble Making Your Licks Sound Like Music?
When I started soloing on guitar, I was given the golden advice of starting with the pentatonic scale, and working a LOT with jam tracks.
And that’s great… for a time.
But eventually, you might start noticing that your solos aren’t really fitting the song as well as you’d like them to.
All that time spent practicing… All those licks you learned… Why, oh WHY don’t they sound as good as you’d hoped they would?
Your confidence falters, and you find yourself starting to avoid situations where you’d have to solo in front of others…
You Decide To Double Down
You learn more scale patterns. Your fingers get faster. You learn more licks.
But still… your solos aren’t playing those heart-string notes like you hear elsewhere.
Your licks — despite being in key and in time — still lack that indescribable “tastiness” that you’re craving.
And the reason for that — whether you’ve discovered it by now, or not — is that your licks are simply not lining up with the notes in the chords.
It’s not that you’re playing the wrong notes… you’re just not playing the RIGHT ones!
It Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated
You don’t HAVE to be a theory whiz to make your solos shine. You just need a few simple principles in place — and you need to see how it works, by demonstration.
That’s exactly why I created Slow Blues Solo in “A” — a short course laser-targeted on demonstrating this stuff.
We take a standard 12 bar blues progression and build a solo over it. Along the way, I’ll explain why each lick is chosen for that part of the song, how it fits with the chord progression, and if relevant, how you can adapt that lick for use elsewhere.

- Discover a shortcut technique to finding inverted thirds all over your fretboard, in any key
- Add tremendous harmony factor to your solos by exploiting the intricacies of intervals
- Add an extra dimension to your riffs with string-skipping intervals
- Master the art of string-bending and pre-bending using a tried ’n true strategy
- Discover why double stops can be the most tasty notes ever played over a chord progression… or the most horrible clash you’ve ever heard!
- The “Ultimate Solo Scale” pattern you absolutely MUST have in your arsenal
“Absolutely Top Notch!”
Jonathan, I sincerely believe your lesson material on this subject and demonstration of it via this solo is absolutely top notch. I cannot credit you enough!
I think any learner who believes just learning lead solos from songs without any regard to understanding the underlying theory framework of scale choices / notes and their relationship to harmony is really making a big mistake in the long run!
The Copycat Solo Sessions
A lot of courses like this one simply demonstrate what things need to sound like, and then move on. In this course, I’ve adopted a new approach I’m calling the Copycat Solo Sessions.
I’ll play a portion of the solo, then the jam track will loop right at that moment, and I’ll give you a chance to play the same piece. Then, I’ll have another go, and then you’ll have another go after that.
This is all done in a single take — no buttons to push, pages to flip, or anything else to distract you. The benefit is enormous, because your ear is your best teacher.
Not For Beginners…
This is NOT a beginner course. In order to pull the maximum benefit from it, you should already have:
- Basic Guitar Theory — You don’t need to be a whiz, but there’s a lot of practically-applied theory. If theory is new to you, I recommend starting here instead.
- Pentatonic Scale Patterns — We’ll primarily use two patterns, but dip in and out of all of them. If you’re not familiar, build that foundation first.
- Basic Lead Guitar Experience — You should be comfortable playing some scales and riffs. Full tab is provided for everything.
In short, this course is perfect for intermediate to advanced guitar players who have some experience soloing and are looking for new ways to express themselves.
“I Finally Feel As Though I Can Play!”
I have to say that doing the Slow Blues in A course seems to have been the clincher for me. It made me see the versatility of the pentatonic minor scale, and understand the relationship between the notes selected and the underlying chords.
After messing around with bits and pieces on the guitar for years, a concerted effort with Blues in A… and I finally feel as though I can play a bit! It feels like the end of the beginning!
