Great video!

What string gauge do you use on your stratocaster?

[rastan1977]

Im not finding fault mate and you are amazingly dedicated but why is it that some of the most accomplished musicians in the world wouldnt have a clue about what your talking about.Is all this theory practical as far as writing musics concerned? I remember watchin wolf marshall tutorials when i was a kid but for all his know how,he could never really make my hairs stand on end.

I'd like to add one point about theory that I feel is crucial - not only theory is the names and the mechanism... but most importantly, using theory will let your ears categorize the sound and thus end up "hearing" all those arpeggios and scales you've been practicing - the more you practice theory, the less you'll actually consciously use it

[Moh1Z]

@dahnraelz Your comment sums up exactly what I've experienced as well - as you learn more theory, your ears also start to hear more, because it's always easier to pick up something if you know the theoretical reason why it sounds the way it does.

[luis22880]

do you have a video were you explain soloing over jazz chord changes?

@luis22880,

Try watching my video lesson titled, "Jazz Blues Soloing." It will be a good start for you.
