Time to get really practical and have some fun! In this course, we'll learn a complete 12-bar blues solo in the key of A. Not only will we learn the individual riffs used to build the solo, but we'll also learn how those riffs are directly related to the chords in the progression. Understanding these connections will empower you to re-use those riffs in other songs and styles, and to modify them at will so you can use them anywhere you wish.

I’ve heard these sorts of riffs/fills/lines/solos before (as you’ve mentioned, they’re in lots of songs!) and I always thought they sounded great, but I never really thought through how to play them. How did those guitar players know what pairs of notes would sound good? It was a bit of a mystery to me… After seeing your “Tasty Riffs and Solos” course, it all makes so much sense now.

Have you struggled with matching your strums properly to the song? Unlock your creative side through your rhythm guitar playing! Say goodbye to boring strums, and get ready to explore the world of dynamic rhythm as you learn techniques to make the song rise and fall, purely through your rhythm.
This guitar lesson builds on the concepts taught in Unlocking I IV V, and takes them much further into a deeper understanding of scales and how they relate to the fretboard. You will learn how solos come directly from the scales, and how you can play a scale or solo in any position you want on the fretboard. Specific scale patterns are demonstrated in close-up detail and taught in a way that will truly make your fretboard come alive in your hands.
My guitar playing really has drastically changed. I can do an improv solo to just about any song my friends are playing now. I never thought I would be able to do that. My only thing now is trying to get faster, but I guess that will come in time.

I really dig the course. The info has helped so much just the few times I have watched it. I really wish this was available 20 years ago! My son has started to learn the bass and I am giving this to him. I do recommend this lesson for everyone and is a MUST HAVE for those just starting out.
The more you watch it the clearer and clearer the fret board becomes.
Having the ability to reach out and email any questions is such big bonus. GREAT Work.
