How To Stop Your Guitar Solos From Sounding Mediocre!
Hi Mike here from Killer Guitar Tips.
I am now going to show you a couple of mini guitar lessons in this article that you really should know to help get your guitar soloing of to a great start and stop you from sounding shall we say mediocre!
OK, let;s get started...
In this weeks mini guitar lesson I will show you how to use the pentatonic pattern #1 scale for both major and minor solo's.
The first thing we need to understand is that every pentatonic pattern can be used for major and minor scales.
Taking pattern #1 at the fifth fret, the two keys are A minor (Am) and Cmajor (C). We call this the relative major and minors.
Therefore to get a real cool bluesy rock sound and knowing that we can use this pattern for BOTH minor and major keys, Am and C maj, we simply play the Am pattern over a backing track written in A major!
Now here's the really cool part...
Using the very same pattern, move the whole pattern down the neck (towards the tuning pegs) 3 frets and play the very same pattern, this will put you in A major which will produce a melodic, tuneful soloing sound!!!
This next little mini guitar lesson staying with the theme of moving the pentatonic pattern 1 around the neck creating killer solo's.
If we play in the key of A by playing pattern 1 at the 5th fret (Am) we can create a really cool bluesy rock solo.
Now here is a killer tip, move the whole pattern up the neck 7 frets (Em) and continue playing! This will give you a cool melodic sound using the same pattern - try it, it's a mainstay in all killer guitarists soloing!
For future reference create a space or folder on your hard drive for all the mini guitar lessons I will be submitting in forthcoming articles. Over time you will build a nice little archive of 'must have' tips and tricks to be used in your soloing that will produce a really professional sound. Your friends, colleagues and family will be amazed at your new found skill!
Remember these mini guitar lessons are just a very small fraction of what you will receive if you subscribe to my killer guitar course, that will be released shortly. - 18423
