In this guitar lesson, I'm going to show you how to use scales to play solos on guitar. We'll cover the basic music theory involved, the five essential guitar scales, how to connect the five scales, and how to apply them to a real song to improvise your own solos. The five scales we'll be using to solo with are the minor pentatonic scale, the major pentatonic scale, the major scale, the natural minor scale, and the blues scale. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Does your listen and play course compliment this lesson or visa versa
@@lynfox1533 the course is more focused on keys and chords. Definitely very important to know if you want to get into improvising and soloing, but it doesn’t get into lead stuff if that’s more what you’re looking for.
Are there plans to create new courses? Particularly ones about improvising?
@@anthonys3794 I am quite literally working on an Improvisation course as we speak 😁 I do everything myself, so it might take a couple months. But I promise it's on the way!
Just thinking about how they decided to make a guitar the way they did hundreds of years ago just blows me away. The arranging of the strings and frets to basically have everything connect and work with 4 fingers is genious.
You are by far one of the better teachers I've found on here. I have subscribed! thank you for taking the time to show us these things we've been beating ourselves up over trying to learn and understand how it all comes together!
I really appreciate that! ☺
Excellent instruction,this young man knows what he is doing , and how to coherently lay it out.Steller teaching!!!!!
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much ☺
First lesson I’ve seen combining scales to play a solo rather than just a minor pentatonic and it’s 5 shapes. I like the concept of a mish mash of scales in one area of the fretboard.
Great ! Gonna try it.
Awesome! I hope it works for you :)
Best tutor. It's fascinating how it all comes together with each lesson
Thank you so much. I'm happy to hear that it helps :)
Finally someone make this make sense. Subbed
I really appreciate that!
Thanks for the lesson and the very useful backing tracks, Andrew, much appreciated.
Completely agree, can't beat putting in the time and hearing what works as you go. It's great fun putting on a backing track and noodling with purpose and intent, the learning happens so much quicker when you put in the reps in a 'real world' scenario than just a metronome!
You're welcome! And what you described is how I've spent the vast majority of my practice time over the years. Cheers!
Thanks for the video Andrew. This really helps solidify what I've figured out on my own, with some new info. Appreciate the time and effort you took to make it!
Sweet. Glad this video helped a bit. All the best!!
Dude, your videos are a gold mine. Keep up the phenomenal work my man. This video is literally the next step I needed to progress further.
Thank you so much! I love hearing that. Lots more to come!
BRAVO, EXCELLENT.
Super excited about your teaching style. Sounds great.
Thank you!!

Thanks! You're very welcome ☺
bro this has helped so much thank you !!
Great Teaching as always your Awesome Andrew Thanks as always 👍
Thank you so much ☺
Thank you so much, Andrew!! This lesson is exactly what I was looking for. And the way you teach is really understandable.
You're very welcome! ☺
Wow! I’ve been on and off trying to learn how to play the guitar for years and this video has unlocked something for me. Subscribe for sure! Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 whole new understanding
Hey thanks man I appreciate that. Glad it was helpful for you!! ☺
Thanks! I learned a lot from this lesson. Especially combining all the pentatonic related scales and the principle of following the chords of a song. Nice demo of that one.
Glad it was helpful!
Merci, maybe the best thing I've watched so far 👍🏻🙏
So glad you enjoyed it! ☺
Thank you for the very nice lesson! Nice playing.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video :)
Excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much!
Awesome video, learnt a lot
Sweet! Glad it was helpful. Cheers!
Ura born teacher, really enjoyed ur teaching....thanks
I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching :)
thanks man this video i want to find thanks to you
You're welcome!
Thank you for 11:44 - 12:41. All this time, I thought you were to change the scale for EACH chord 💀Lesson learned: Just stay in the scale of the song's key and try to punctuate on the chord notes as they go by 💪
I thought the same thing for a long time as well. Big revelation shen I learned that wasn't the case. Thanks for watching! :)
Can you make a video about how to learn a solo from any song ?
Hey idk if it's just me but I like the neck diagrams flipped upside down so it looks the same as our point of view when we play. Just some feedback :)
Very well explained. Thank you.😂😊
You're welcome 😊
I'm trying to learn the pentagramic scale
After figuring out the frets backwards i notice its Aeolian connected to Locrian.
Yes, Aeolian is the 6th mode of the major scale and Locrian is the 7th.
Do you do private guitar lessons by any chance?
Not at the moment. I am looking to take on a few private students in the future if they're the right fit though. Feel free to send me a quick email and we can chat more: andrewclarkeguitar@gmail.com
@@andrewclarkeguitar I would also be interested in that!
Maybe some ppl know how to intake this info I just don't know if my brain can absorb it....most theory lessons just sounds like a bunch of words to me....
N by the time they get to the practical part I've involuntarily tuned them out
I don't even know if everyone is capable of knowing this stuff or if it's just for chads
I like the video but I don't like that the picture on 8:18 is reversed.
Your scale diagrams are the wrong way up I was llke what's going on here lol
He does not know what he is doing .
Was there something I shared in this video that you'd do differently? I'd be happy to listen to any feedback you have ☺ Thanks for watching!
This comment needs to get thumbs downed into oblivion...
@@andrewclarkeguitarI think it would be helpful to explain in these the MmmMMmDim as that is the true 1-7
Dudes just a troll, or they would have explained why. Stop writing stupid comments and go practice.
How so? Back up your claim or move on.
