  • how are you suppose to solo over a chord progression in one key? what are you suppose to think about as the chords are changing if you only stay in one key, and how do you know what to resolve on and target? You will just ultimately end up sounding like a mess of notes wouldn't you? i think the only way to solo is to follow the chords no matter what. If you hear a good solo I believe that you are always following the chords even if you call it " using one scale over all the chords"

  • question here: during the soloing in E, D and A , does he uses the E scale all the time or he uses the respective scales of the chords that are being played?

  • @123shiti Both. Some of the notes for A and D are in the E chord too. When soloing with what he is playing you could stay on E, but that would b boring to do all the time. It is noticable when a player stays in one box.

  • I hope sometimes when guitarists go to the wrong note it can still b a cool sound. Sometimes it isn't, but to the listener it can b interpreted as jazzy or odd in a good way. I hit wrong notes regularly even though i have been playing 11 years and practice scales for warming up and memory.

  • Some other guitarists who play well on this style would b Mick Taylor and Mike Bloomfield. Both r blues/rock/jazz players.

  • so .. is he soloing in the key of e through the hole thing? or is he actually switching the key he is soloing in everytime he switches a chord,,, or is he in e the hole time and just landing on those notes when theres a chord change, if anyone knows? thanks

  • he is fucking loaded!!!!

  • Just kidding, awesome talent dude. Thank you for helping my bro play like a true beast :')

  • It's your fault my brother sucks ass on guitar, you fucking queer! :/
