ShredMaster Scott’s Modal Lesson: • Modes Of The Major Scale
Writing shredding and fast lead lines is tough business. Too many notes and it gets repetitive and robotic, too few and the kids won’t think you’re cool. But by combining simple melodic techniques with fast scale passages and arpeggios, as well as sufficient practice, you can compose an impressive technical solo on any instrument.
Throughout the video I refer to the chords as A and B. To be more specific, the B chord is played as a B/A, so the bass remains unchanged, and stays playing an A over the B chord.

Bad ass solo and killer analysis brother 🤘
Thanks for helping with this one Scott, it felt good to shred again \m/
How would Bach play that?

Hey Scott, you tube took away all my notifications that I used to get for all your videos. You might want to announce that to everyone if you've notice a drop in views. I had to re check the bell 🤷🏼♂️🤘🤘
@@HarlanHarvey76 yeah I think CZcams tried to kill my channel a while back...I'm still here though
Jake: "...it's important to think of General Strategy here..."
Me: *(salutes)*
he was a good man
@@SignalsMusicStudio Agreed, sir.
Major Point
Jake: The next one is very easy...
Me: *quits playing guitar*
Hey Jake ,
No words for your teaching skills and your playing ...
I'm learning a lot from you,
Love from India🇮🇳
Really ,the teaching style of Jake is simply awesome.
Follower from India.
I’m hoping this is the kind of solo that -once mastered-causes lightning to issue forth from the axe and summons a dragon 🐉
just steal other peoples solos or motifs and change them a little. boom you have a sick solo
LOL
Spamming a million mindless notes a second is my specialty tho ..... Someday I hope to be a real musician 😎
Have you listened to Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody?
Dragons are terrible roommates
"Avoid the trap of too many notes"
*Mozart has left the chat*
In his case it wasn't TOO many.
but more is more
What? I might have misunderstood, but Mozart is known for being a pretty simplistic composer and relying on simple melodies and ABA structures. THat's why he's so famous, because it's really catchy and... I guess one could say accessible.
I guess people are missing the reference from the movie lol
Some of you have never seen Amadeus and it shows. :-)
Jake: so to make it easier here we're going to play a septuplet
There aren’t enough “thank yous” to express how grateful I am for learning from you, Jake. You’re the man.
Great content as always, Jake. Love the way you explain things and I dig the sound of that sliding lick a lot! Your breakdowns are always excellent.
What an incredible lesson! Really love your channel Jake, exceptional content and playing.
Spectacular stuff, Jake!
Great job Jake! I learned a lot here...I love how you broke it down into digestible chunks. Always thought shredding just wasn't my cup of tea but now I think I'm gonna try to learn it via composition
Great Lesson and Thanks to Shredmaster Scott!!
I've been hunting around CZcams for a good shred lesson just like this! Thanks so much Jake! More tools in the toolbox always helps
this is probably the most helpful introduction to writing solos on youtube
That intro was superb. And then you showed us how it was done. Utterly inspiring, thank you.
Jake this is out of the park man!!🔥🔥🤘 still dying to figure out something to collaborate with you on...lol love this!
Your lessons are so smooth, it barely feels like an entire ten minutes has already passed. I just want it to keep going forever.
Also, your sound quality of your playing is so refined, I want to hear more full-length songs, and maybe even throw this solo or other lesson compositions in there. That triplet sliding part was absolutely worth the additional effort; most satisfying part of the solo.
Thank you for all the knowledge that you share and for the love that you put on the effort.
Cheers :)
Wow Jake....loved the technical breakdown...as always....your videos are worth the time any day
I've been a subscriber of the Shred Master for a long time now. He and you both are excellent teachers and two of my favorites! Hands down.
Awesome. That has everything I want from a solo, fast widdle bits, different tuplets, recurring motif, etc
You really explain things so well, just ticks every box. More!
Fantastic lesson. Subscribed. Thanks again.
Brilliant, I enjoyed the breakdown, thank you
Excellent video and fabulous playing-- sounds great!
Duuuuuuuuuude! Your instruction is next level! You make this stuff so accessible!
Thanks Jake and the Patreons! And thanks for Shred's Shreducational inspiration.
I can't watch often and I really miss these videos.
That was great! Thanks for all your hard work.
This Is a great lesson man! Love your Channel ...cheers from Italy
Amazing content as always. But what I also appreciate a lot about your channel, are your editing skills. Flawless, even if you cut something I can't really tell. It is like you are live in front of me explaining stuff.
That's why you are my only subscribed channel with the bell notifications on. Thank you very much for all your hard work! I learn a lot from you.
Great lesson, well thought out. You're spot on when you mentioned rhythmic variation as that's definetely one of the key ways to make a shred solo interesting. One of my favorite guitarists is Vinnie Moore, I love his style of composing and there's no shortage of differing rhythms in his compositions. Makes things exciting because you really don't know what's coming up next in the tune so ya hang to listen to the whole thing. Again well done!
Awesome solo and extremely good analysis. Very inspirational thank you so much!
To me you are hands down the BEST guitar teacher on youtube
I hope to be able to buy your course soon.
Thank you for all the great content
Thank you for the great videos. Love the mindset on theory. 🤘🤘
Hands down THE best guitar lessons from Jake and this one was truly exceptional for me. Helped me understand a concept to reference when I'm lost fudging my way through a solo. Thanks so much man! I'll be joining your Patreon, it would be rude not to with all the excellent content I've consumed. Killer solo too by the way 🤘🤘
An absolutely fabulous site. Brilliant and informative. I love it. Thank you for all your hard work and effort and dedication. 🙏👍👏
It's so great that you tab your lesson - it enables you to move along at a good pace and cover a lot more information - unlike most others on CZcams who want to narrate each note (slide the A string forth fret, up to... - drives me crazy. So, thank you. Great lesson.)
Thanks so much for this lesson. I have spent months trying to make sense of where to place '3 note per string' runs, how to count them, and how to add them in solos. I see a lot of lessons on techniques, but never ideas like where to put them in the solo, or even how to use chord tones. Thanks again.
I've improved so much because of you! Can't thank you enough!
Amazing..hands down.Thanks for such a wonderful lesson
Great tips ... Tanks for the free classes
Great playing man!!
Thank you for the rut buster! This was woven so well!
this is a super helpful lesson - I am literally dealing with this now with a song I am writing, and was struggling on my solo portion.... This will help a lot. - I am no shredder, but this is still helpful in writing concepts.
Excellent. Thank you, Jake
Jake, Although you do a great job on all your videos, this one was exceptional. I always learn so much from your videos and can't wait to dive into these examples. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Another amazing lesson! Thank you!
Always learning something from you...keep up the good work..
Jake you're the man! Thank you so much!
A+ dude, you make some killer content. Your ability to write cool stuff AND explain it well is rare.
From one teacher to another; You are Great!
Great presentation, Jake! Thank you!!!
Maybe the best video on breaking down a shred solo. You really make it feel simple and achievable when you break it down!
Your a great guitarist Jake, hope to see some new videos soon, thank you for all your help.
I keep coming back to this video! I dont know theres something about this lesson that is amazing!
So talented man thanks for sharing this info with us
Wish I had this much music theory at my disposal. Never mind the skills to put it to use. Great work, love your videos and the way you explain it. Keep it up!
You are a fantastic teacher dude. Very smart
Thank you for sharing this! We all learned something here.
I love your last remarks Jake about really writing and composing not just simply noodling expecting for something cool to pops up. Don’t get me wrong, sometime a good motif or melody pops up from noodling. Great lessons again as I am currently working on Lydian these days. Keep it up! Cheers!
that was fantastic - many thanks!
Great solo Jake. It reminds me of "As time slips by" by the '80's shredder Vinnie moore.
always check if you have a new video when i open youtube, wasn't expecting a video so recently uploaded, exciting times
Thank you Jake..very usefull material. As always.
Dude I want to thank you so much for introducing me to fretastic. It's amazing and has helped me a ton
Fantastic video! I'm really enjoying your channel
Lydian shred is my all time favorite thing now thanks to you 👌
Best teacher on CZcams.
Awesome Jake!!
Kickin! Thanks bro.
wow. great playing. Haven't finished the video, but that intro was great
Love simple but nice sounding with simple phrasing
As usual, great materials
Jack Lizzio = greatest CZcams teacher.
Who's jack lizzo? Don't you mean jake
I have never learned so much on guitar until watching these videos. I will definitely apply these concepts to my playing!!
If asked, I’d say that your CZcams channel has taught me the most as far as music theory goes. Shredmaster Scott would be 2nd.
I took lessons for years, but never learned anything besides technique.
Music theory for guitar, with Tomasso Zillio (Zillio, Lizzio... weird) for theory and such.
Bernth for shredding tips.
But Shred and Jake are so helpful and in-depth.
Great video as always. I want to point out something to all, especially beginners, notice the position of the left hand, it's perfect. That's the right way to place your hand if you want to play fast licks, straight with the thumb behind the neck. I mention it because I learned the wrong way 30 years ago, my thumb tend to go on top of the neck and I lose some range, my fingers are not straight with the frets. I try to correct this but it's a lot harder when you're used to it, so if you're just starting, pay attention to that, it will be beneficial on the long run.
Dude... I have played longer than you have been alive and you make this finally make sense. Thank you very much.
Great bunch of lessons.really clear and useful.lessons for all....
What a great composition.
The more I hear your solo…the more I enjoy it. Nice work!
Great walk over the solo. I feel like I need to work on the motif idea, well noted, usually beginners and intermediate players just play a bunch of notes
Awesome composition arrangement lecture. (4:21 - Haven't seen that five note count referenced since it was introduced to me during my days at Berklee.)
That was so good unfortunately way beyond my ability at the present but really enjoyed it and will keep plugging away. Thanks again
Love your videos bro :)
One of the Best in Teaching ..
I love Shredmaster Shred's channel, too! Another fun thing to do, while playing in Lydian, is to play the Minor Pentatonic Scale from a half-step below the root note- in this case G# Minor Pentatonic for A Lydian. Instant Jazz Blues Fusion.
Worlds collide. Shred is awesome as is your channel!
Jake, great job, man! Thanks for your hard work, I thoroughly enjoyed that.
I ca relate, and it reminds me that laziness is my nemesis, haha. Have a blessed day. Kudos !!
Jake mentioned Haken, I can die happy!
phenomenal
Fair dues, that was so good 😎🎸🎙✅
That was an amazing treatise on writing solos.. I've always considered creating the 'melodic path' for a solo; locked in and done the same each time.. and Petrucci is a master at this.. especially when keyboards and or bass are playing in unison (shifted octaves) or a full counterpoint between keys and guitar solos. The motif and retrograde motif is really awesome (even throwing in some negative harmony as another variation on the motif.. Great video, Jake, really well put.
Awesome! Best guitar teacher on CZcams.
I watched this thinking I’d enjoy it but never actually be able to follow but this is incredibly well laid out
I love his explanation....
I am not only looking for shredding solos, i am looking for modern solos that i cannot find in any book. Nice melodic rock-solos, how to develope runs or sequences, that what i am looking for.
But that video brought me to words i can type in google to find maybe what i am looking for. Google works much better depending from the words your type in.
Please do more videos like this!
You are a great person down to earth expert poses the art of simplicity 💕 🇮🇳 love from INDIA
You are the best in CZcams 🔥❤️
this is super Jake! thx
