James Graydon returns to give you a new perspective on soloing! He will teach you how to empower your lead work by harmonising your melodic lines and imply all manner of harmonic elements in your own guitar solos!
James says 'We're going to be exploring the concepts behind harmonic soloing. Firstly, using intervals such as 3rds, 6ths and 10ths to harmonise your melodic lines, as well as using pedal tones. Next, we get under the hood a little bit and look at shell voicings; two and three note voicings that perfectly encapsulate what the chord is trying to say in as economical a way as possible. It opens up a completely new world of possibilities in solo playing, whether you're doing Jazz, Blues, Rock or even Folk and Country.
Also, if you're playing in a band setting it's particularly useful to learn how to interact properly with bass players and keyboard players, knowing which notes to leave out, and leave some of that space in the lower mid range of the music.
After that, we'll be looking at inner lines. These are fragments that run in the chord giving an extra sense of depth and maturity to the playing. Also, using dissonance or close voicings that keyboard players often play, we can use them to great effect in the middle of the chord or in the outer reaches of the chord to add some tension and resolution to the playing.
A lot of the time music is about what you leave out, not just what you put in. In the PDF we'll be looking at some of the theory behind chord structures and you'll learn that not all notes are equal when it comes to chords sometimes. You can leave certain things out to create a sense of clarity in your playing. When we hear players like John Scofield, or Pat Metheny in a trio setting or even the Police and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, they've all mastered this art of economy.
Finally, in part three I'll be taking you step by step through a solo I've constructed for a new track written especially for this pack it's called 'Between The Lines' which encompasses all of the theory and all of the techniques.
Even if you take a little bit of this knowledge and slowly incorporate it into your own playing, I can assure you that you will start thinking about lead lines in a different way with the implied harmony underneath. It's going to give you a completely different perspective on your soloing. Enjoy!'
As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. Starting with the main masterclass PDF lesson teaching you all the concepts, you'll also find 38 exercises, 10 main melody videos, 23 solo line videos, a full 5 minute solo performance, full length backing track and complete TAB/Notation for everything!

Definitly one of the best packages of JTC
Great guitar playing James.
Make another one please.
Thank you JTC ! a great masterclass from James Graydon, it is a must for all those who want to take a step forward in harmonic concepts and get a rest of the crazy endless racing of shredd, which IMHO means nothing if you do not know what you do from the roots.
Hi Carlos, I wondered if I should be able to play all the major scale and minor scale shapes (caged) and pentatonics and diatonic triads and arpeggios within those shapes, without hesitation, before proceeding with a course like harmonic soloing?
Or whether that course can assist with achieving that goal of fretboard familiarity.
(I’ve just been a standard minor pentatonic plunker but listen to a lot of jazz and fusion and now want to “raise my game”!)
Thanks for any insight!
@@nickwright8720 it doesn't matter if you only have pentatonic rudiments, even if this course is classified as a JTC Intermediate level master class taking a look at it wouldn't hurt, however it would be fine since my experience with my students, to previously try to learn the best you can the theoretical and practical bases.
A good thing is your willingness to listen to other styles beyond basic rock blues, since you will be more prepared and in tune to understand and assimilate the real essence behind this course and similars.
It is important to be a good driver, but it helps a lot if you have a map or GPS to know where you are ... before continuing to move aimlessly.
Thank you so much Carlos for taking the time to reply! Very kind of you. You have helped me to make my decision. I think this will be a great course to assist with the development of my playing and musicianship - thank you again for sharing 😊🙏👍😊
Bloody lovely playing!
1:10 - 1:28 holy fuck what a beautiful solo
This sounds great.
mesmerizing
It looks like there are many concepts that can be applied to rhythm guitar. Is that correct?
Nothing could ever be wrong so yeah, literally any concept can be applied to rhythm guitar.
I've been digging it for a few days. Actually I think this course is more about rhythm than solo! Great one!
Awesome to hear! I got it as well and look forward to dive in deep :-)
I can't take serious of guitar player especially who's into jazz rock or pop genre who doesn't know this guy. Player like him, Tim Pierce, Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, Jon Herrington or Larry Carlton should be your main priority of inspiration than bunch of these Greg Howe or Andy Timmons wanna be who only focusing on crazy tricks or 'jazzy-licks' than the actual music. Don't get me wrong about Greg How and Andy Timmons though, they are great players and deserved tons of praise. The keyword here is the 'wannabes'.
Even the "wannabes" can teach cool stuff that bring something to the music table. Music is so diverse, that people can be interested in other players and styles within a genre different than Luke, carlton, landau, etc.

It's up to you then. But if you want to be a good session or recording player you need to know how to make great rhythm or filler in the song not just plain solo on 5 minutes. Even Greg Howe played for Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson. He knew very well how important is that aspect of guitar playing.
I know, but if you studied those guys only, you would still be missing on a LOT, so i dont think anyone should be your "main priority".
That's why there's a lot of session players and everyone gets called for a different thing. There's just too much music out there to limit yourself to "him, Tim Pierce, Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, Jon Herrington or Larry Carlton should be your main priority of inspiration".
Of course, this pack looks great, but its just a drop in an ocean of music(even in the same genre/style).

It's not limiting yourself. If you study them you will automatically grow to more diverse style of music such as fusion, jazz or even progressive music while you developing your own style. From there you'll know other great session player who you never heard of before. Buzz Feiten, Paul Jackson Jr, Dan Huff are one of them. Go check them out. I know my statement was a bit rude but believe me you'll get my point someday someway.
I actually know all the players you mention and have studied Paul jackson Jr. to play lots of songs he recorded, nice and interesting rhythms and lines, but they still arent the end all be all. Theyre actually kind of limited to that "session jazz player" sound and style, so thats funny.
he's father of Mateus Asato? lol
