Hello friends, 

welcome back to Swiftlessons for a "Fool-Proof Minor Soloing Strategy." In today's session I'll be showing you how I use chord shapes to reveal melodic possibilities when soloing over minor progressions. We'll begin by learning useful chord positions up the fretboard, then use those positions to create a practice routine featuring arpeggios and melodic phrases. Let's get started!

Section #1 - Useful Chord Shapes 

The following chords are commonly used in the key of Am and can be played in several positions on the fretboard. The positions included below are particularly useful for creating arpeggio licks on the top three strings:

Section #2 - Practice Routine 

Now that you have fully memorized our featured chord positions, let's put them to work by using their notes to create some useful licks. Try your best to visualize the chord shapes as you practice through each phrase:

Thanks Rob. It worked this time :)

Hi Rob, nice lesson, a bit andalusian sounding. BTW, what kind of accoustic guitar are you using or recommending for beginners and advanced players ? Taylor, Gibson, Fender or Martin, which corpus shape, strings, etc. ? Maybe this is worth an own video lesson. Thanks

Jeez, for some reason I can't get that timing right on that second Am

Really loved this lesson! Am I crazy, or is there a tinge of Pink Floyd’s, Echoes in that exercise?

Hi Rob, it’s really interesting your lesson. Was there any rules for the transition notes, i.e the bridge notes from one chord to other, e.g. from the first Am to G and to Am again. Thanks
