In this lesson I break down some of the common mistakes that guitarists make when working on soloing. We don't have to overcomplicate the guitar. In fact, sometimes simpliifying is the absolute best move in order to sound better! We frequently get caught up in all kinds of complex scales, chords, and arpeggios..but when you analyze the masters, they are frequently using music simpler ideas!

    This is no joke the best guitar lesson I've ever seen ! Thank you man that helped a lot !
  • Almost skipped this because of the title, but I am impressed. Great delivery and lesson. I wish I had seen this 18 months ago. I’ve been practicing scales against a metronome and getting nowhere. Thank you.

    This was a great lesson. Lots of info on techniques, timing, simplification and space. But, what I liked the most was the section on how to listen to the band or backing track to get the drum timing, the bass style and the overall mood. We get so fixated on our own role that we fail to see how to "fit in". I think it's magic when the whole band is totally in sync... the music sounds magical.

    I've been playing guitar for over 30 years, and this may be the most straightforward and clear explanation of how to use your playing to complement what the other players are doing. Listen and adapt. Thank you for the awesome lesson and the excellent backing track.

    I realized this when playing a solo on a four string bass. Having such a limited note selection compared to a guitar I had to really focus on the feel of the notes which has significantly improved my soloing all around.
  • @dowaliby1
    This is gold! The difference between painting by numbers and learning the subtle brushstrokes and shapes and shadows of an artist. Thank you!
  • @Phoboss32
    Thank you for the unbeatable top camera angle when presenting concepts on the guitar.
  • This is great! It's kinda like Bob Ross for guitar, learning by getting into the feel for it.
  • I'm impressed that he travelled back to the 90's to film this video and then came back and posted it.
  • @sethbell6254
    This kind of thing makes up most of my practice time. I tell myself I'm gonna do 30mins then my stomach starts rumbling and I realise 4 hrs have dissappeared. Awesome stuff, good lesson!
  • @mightyluv
    Such a great lesson, thanks. You regard the music as a living, breathing being that has to be heard and contemplated, not just played over in a flurry of scale notes.
  • @crs.-7044
    fantastic quick lesson! So many tips and good use of space, silence and all resource for guitar, thanks for sharing!!

    Absolutely spot on! The internet has taught me a great deal of useful information but also information overload. What this video suggests is exactly what I turned to after years of being an intermediate player and in the latter years not making the progress as I did when first starting out. It's so important to not let scales play you and learn to treat every note with respect and creativity. Like Daniel says too many times learning guitar players just want to play almost every single note in the scale without thinking about space and letting the notes breath for a second or two. The backing track is great for doing just this. I always sit down to a backing track without my guitar first and listen to it and in my head hear what it is that I would like to improvise with. When you have the basis of a solo in you head then reach for the guitar and play what you remembered. It may not work for everyone but I hope so :)
  • @alexjedi12
    Incredibly helpful and straight forward. Thanks for this.
  • Great phrasing lesson! This kind of coaching on musicality is missing from most of the courses - and teachers - I've worked with.
  • @Mistrals60
    Without a doubt the best presentation of this concept I've ever seen. Fantastic job, Daniel. Thanks for the tips.
