In this lesson I wanted to talk about how  different kinds of scales sound when you're playing a solo and how you can mix and match as long as you're focused on notes in whatever chord is going by. The idea here is that chord tones are so important, you can almost do anything you want as long as you're following the chords.

Also, instead of a facebook group, I went with an online forum exclusive for Patrons. Check it out here, or click here to learn how to login.

Great lesson! I have a question: is it okay to jump from a chord tone to a scale tone (not a chord tone) and then to the nearest chord tone? I am not sure if your set of rules encompass this, but I think it can sound good. If it is not part of your rules, why did you exclude this possibility? Thanks for answering!! :)

Hi Jonas - everything can be ok if it sounds good! That scenario may work sometimes - give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Is there a copy of Guitar Note Scratch sheet in pdf available?
