Solo In 5 Minutes FLAT - WITHOUT Any Theory (3 Step Solo Technique)

my goal in this lesson is to teach you how to Solo in 5 minutes or less so we're wasting time already but just be sure to stick around to the very end of the lesson because I've got a free gift for you and your guitar that you're both going to love if you already know some open chords that'll work out perfectly because we're going to be focusing on one chord at a time cuz for example in much of rock and blues music we're really soloing over one chord anyway so we're going to grab an open a chord which would be first finger barred across the second fret on the D G and B strings and then you have the open a but really just it's that mey lower part that we want to focus on so it's almost like an a power chord there's a lot of great rock guitar jams that can groove on one chord you know like this so the first step into getting started soloing is we're going to find the key so we have this open a chord to work with we're going to take the lowest note in that chord which happens to be the open a string and that's our root note so what we're going to do next is find the root note but starting on the D string so we already have that open a note and what's great about that being an open string is that we can drone it out while we're trying to find that root note on the D string so if we were to start with like playing the open a chord and then open D first fret second fret there's something it's not the same note but there's some release of tension there ooh there's more tension ah still tense aha we've now reached a note a point of release of that tension when we find the root note which happens to be right here the seventh fret of the D string what's great about this is it's a very basic form of ear training where you can kind of stumble through some notes until you find something that just gives you that kind of like ha that like relief right especially when you've built up a lot of tension by playing a lot of the wrong notes you know aha right so you feel that release of the tension so even if you've never done this before you'll have an innate sense of knowing where that release happens and this is a great way for you to find the keys to any song that you're listening to just by stumbling through some notes until you find that point of release so now that we found the root note seventh fret the D string we're now going to find this group of six notes it's essentially our soloing zone so now that we have right here our root note these six notes are going to sort of surround it so we're going to take our first finger we're going to go two Frets down right and one string up that's going to be our starting point so the fifth fret of the a string play that and then we play the seventh fret and then we play fifth fret seventh fret of the D string seventh fret being our root note right and then fifth fret seventh fret on the G string so those are our six notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 and this right here is our little sixth note soloing Zone if you don't already know there are so many epic moments in Guitar History that happened right here within these six notes and now that we have these six notes the next step is to get creative with them obviously we want to play them in a way that's intentional and Musical and not just mechanically walking up and down that's the last thing we want to do so we're going to use techniques that we like to call Guitar Linguistics little things like slides [Music] bands hammer on pull offs you know FBR all these little things to breathe life into these otherwise static notes and with these techniques in mind what we can do now is think about our phrasing so you know how we tend to have a certain rhythm with the way that we speak the same thing applies to guitar playing so this will mean doing things like sustaining notes and leaving space one thing that you really got to keep in mind though is that as guitar players we are notorious for overplaying so to prevent yourself from doing that here's a tip think about a saxophone player right saxophone players when they play the saxophone they can only play for as long as they have breath this gives them an innate sense of pacing with their phrasing and whether they're taking a short breath or a long breath you know you have this very humanlike communication with the way that they deliver their music so what you can do is something similar is if you're going to start a phrase to prevent yourself from just you know climbing up and down let's say those six notes over and over again or just going on with like a run-on sentence that just never ends right you can just take a deep breath and then while you exhale you can play your phrase [Music] like so right there that was the whole duration while I was slowly exhaling and then I'll take another breath and then exhale [Music] again so naturally the phrasing sounds a bit more intentional and it and it has like a better pacing to it so it's not like you're sitting there and then just continuously playing without really finding a stopping point so it's a great way to just kind of take a page out of the book of saxophone playing right and then just apply this sort of breath technique and it's going to build this really like mature sense pacing like I said right with the way that you handle and the way that you communicate your phrases so all in all if we were to just groove on that open a chord and then throw in some notes in that soloing Zone it can be something like this you [Music] know so now that I've show shown you this quick three-step process to soloing let me drive the point home even further and show you how you can find it using a different chord so let's take the open G chord for example that one so step one let's find the key now in this case the lowest note is a Fred note it's the third fret of the low E string so we don't have the luxury of the open string droning out but we can still use our ears we can [Music] just really like Hammer that note into our ears so we can hear it right and then like right now you can already tell none of these notes these are tense notes right ooh there's some release right there fifth fret of the D string right there that happens to be a g note so that is the root note right so now that we found the root note the next step is to find those six notes right for our little soloing zone so take our first finger right two Frets down from the root note one string up start there so third fret to fifth fret on the a string third fret to fifth fret on D third fret to fifth fret on G and there's our six notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 and step three we'll get creative with them right so if we were to just like play a g core like [Music] oh and here's a bonus tip so when you're working on your phrasing Within These six notes we have our root note right now that root note functions as the perfect safety net for you to land on let's say when you conclude a phrase so that way it's like if you build tension using these other notes you can provide that release which makes you feel like you know you're more in control of what you're doing when you're soloing and especially more in control of like kind of like what your listeners are feeling when they hear you play is that you can purposefully use that root note as kind of a safety net you can start a phrase with the root note or you can I mean I would recommend at least ending the phrases on the root note so you can go [Music] like you know as long as you bring it back home you're always going to sound right because as long as you play the root note you know of whatever key you're playing or whatever chord you're playing in it's just mathematically going to work out just remember to really milk those guitar linguistic techniques because that's how you're going to be able to play those notes in the most expressive and musical way so right there was a super quick crash course on how to start soloing using just one chord and you happen to be in the perfect position to learn how to take this concept and apply it over all the chords now remember that free gift I owe you now that you made it to the end of the lesson well that's
