To all you "older" improovers out there .... Imagine if we'd had this one lesson instead of Bert Weedon's ... " Play in a day"
Definitely your most informative .... much appreciated
Hey Phil thanks for the great comment. Would love to hear 3-5 things you’d like to see a video on if you liked this one!!
This lesson is one of the best that I have come across. I also appreciate your straight to the point of teaching.
Larry so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for the kind comments!!!!
Excellent video which gets right to the point: practice how to play, not practicing scales and modes and other people's licks. Challenge yourself to play the fundamentals in time and over the chord progression in front of you. How I wish I would have had this kind of lesson 30+ years ago when I began to play. Back then, and maybe it's still this way, teachers only taught pentatonic scales and boxes and said "just jam!". I love the concept of coming up with degrees and forcing a result over multiple neck positions with those numeric sequences. I can't wait to implement these ideas into a practice routine. Well done!
What a great comment - thank you!!! I’m so happy this is helping!
Fantastic lesson Charlie...wish I would have had a teacher like you when I first started.
Thanks man!!! Gotta keep playing!!!
This lesson was priceless 💯 thank you for taking time to share with us this process. Great lesson.! Great teaching.!!!
Great concepts, kind sir!
What a great lesson. It came at just the right time for me in my guitar journey. So good!!
Well presented and useful.
I have been playing 30 years, and I always learn useful tidbits from your vids.
So great to hear!!
Sounds awesome, and not too complex. I’m learning a lot from your videos lately, you make some really great sounds and explain them so well, it has advanced my playing in a short amount of time, thank you very much.

Thank you again Charlie for opening me up to some very fruitful exercises. Keep up the great lessons.
My pleasure man! Glad it’s helping!
This is a great lesson Charlie!!!
Thanks man!! Glad you dig it - rock on!
Been playing guitar for sixty years now. I do some of what you speak of in your lesson “naturally” - just because I have a fairly good musical ear.
However, this is a really great way to quickly get a great solo and actually understand why it sounds great. I have been moving towards triads but this is the final boot up the backside I need. Many thanks!!!
It wasn’t until a few years ago I started realize how triad based so many of my fave players are. Lukather, Timmons, and of course Larry Carlton.
Brilliant! Fantastic playing and tone too.
Thank you for the comment! Rock on!!
You are a great communicator and player. Thanks! Getting lots of ideas from your videos.
That’s awesome to hear!! Thanks so much!!
Excellent thank you.

Charlie!!! So cool!!! I haven't stopped practicing this since I watched it and that was a week ago!!
Makes me so happy to hear that!!! Thanks for letting me know!!!
Thank you. Was very helpful and the approach was spot on. I will use this concept in my guitar practice.
Rock on Ken!!!! Thanks for commenting!
Groovy baby! Great lesson, I'll keep practising.
Thanks 🙏
What a great idea, Charlie! Sounds killer!
Thanks so much Allen, for watching and commenting!!
Awesome lesson
Thanks so much!!!
Thanks!
Wow thank you!!!
I feel silly for not having figured that out by myself by now... What a light bulb moment! Playing a selection of 5 notes at any given time, 3 chord notes from the triad and a couple of scale notes to give it some colour...I love small guidelines and knacks like this, as they really make a difference.
Thank you for this video!
It only hit me a few years ago how my favorite players build so many of their solos and melodies like this! Thanks for commenting!
You are a great teacher. The homework is challenging but I think it will pay off eventually. Thanks very much for doing these lessons.
Thanks for the kind words - makes the work put in worthwhile!
Hi Charlie,
Thank you so much. These are really game changing lessons you are providing. I'm finally getting it. Even my toughest critic my wife likes how I'm sounding after implementing your techniques. You're the best.
Warm regards,
Ken
Winning over the toughest critic - sweet!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!
great video!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
I've been playing some basic melodies for a while now, but this really inspired me to put some more color in to my solos. I changed the cords to G, D, Em and C, just so I have to do the work myself. First time I've actually played with some though and not just meandering around. Thank you for this very good lesson.
Makes me so happy to hear that!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!!
Hope i can get this in my practice regimen thank you very good lesson
You got this!!! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks a million times Charlie
You’re welcome a million times!!
AWESOME. THANKS
Just tried the partialtriads with some extra notes in a simple blues chord progression. Actually is the chord chasing and for each chord you chose at least 2 triad tones and then some tones from whatever type of scale?
@@jackschijven8219 yep that’s the idea. So the intervals 1 3 4 5 of each chord from a blues would sound good for instance
@@CharlieLongGuitar This helps me a lot. And it forces one to get to see the scales better. Thanks again.
love it
Awesome - thanks for letting me know! 🎸🎶🔥🎶🎸
Thanks for your effort, repetition of “learn triads” and some good examples. What a great lesson (as always).
Also do you love your Stilleto? Saw Hetfield use one with a custom faceplate and they look appealing. If only Boogie made a 20 watt lunchbox. Might be cool.
Thanks 🙏!!! Yeah I still love the Stiletto…the cleans are awesome, it takes pedals amazingly, and the gain channel smokes. Really great and misunderstood amp
This is good stuff which makes you work out the notes and numbers, 👌. Not a criticism but more a suggestion. Adding a bit off the backing track at the end would give viewers something to practice over immediately. Thanks 👍
Great suggestion. Thank you 🙏
Wow, Charlie you've done it again ,small additions turn a mediocre solo into a beautifully sounding run. Massive thumbs up buddy.
Love it!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!!
Great video. In the end the strict application of what you show here is too sweet for my attitude to what a solo is, BUT if I feel I need some melody back especially the 1 2 3 and the 5 4 3 approach get you instantly back into the song. ❤
Thanks! Yes, the strict application is only for demonstration; in a real solo you’d mix things up. But this is great for building melodic figures!
Love this I’m 58 years old and just took up guitar 2 years ago. I never took a lesson except CZcams stuff like Rick Beato and Steve Stine to name a few. I play at least 3-4 hrs 4 days a week . I’m going to tackle this lesson. I will tell my head is spinning with theory but I’m always learning. I’m pretty sure this will be something that will be really hard at first but just waiting for that light bulb moment. Right now I learned first position minor pentatonic but you right I feel stuck sometimes when I solo . Thanks. Wish you lived in NC lol I could use a great teacher.
Really glad you took up guitar, and thanks for taking the time to comment!!! Happy this video helped you!!
Picked guitar back up 6 years ago after letting it sit for the most part for nearly 25 years. No theory, can't read music, tab, imitation, find strings that sound cool together & fun. Can play some cool rock n roll stuff.
Intelligent strategy to approach creative improvisation by the necessity of limitation.
BAM! that’s it!
👍 nice
Glad you liked it!! Thanks 🙏
🤘
Thank you very much Chief.
I am a retired engineer and I can memorize better informations that are presented in small sketch / drawing. Just simple hand drawn sketch with frets and strings and notes will stick much longer.
Anyway, thank you very much for the lesson.
Cheers from Indonesia.
Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Keep on playing!!! 🎸🎸🎸
Thanks so much Charlie! I’ve recently learned triads but like you said they felt boring using them in a solo. This is super helpful for how to use them better. Quick question when you moved to embellishment you added bends. Which numbered note do you usually bend on? Does it vary or do you have a go to? Thanks again.
Probably the 2nd to the 3rd or from the 3rd to the 4th
Cool question!!!
Hello, very interesting progression. But at min. 12:50 you mention B as the 4th of F... why not Bb ??? as B would be the 4rth augmented ?
Got tabs for this stuff? I need tabs and/ or diagrams. Thanks.
Kindly give us the backing track to practice, i highly appreciate.
Great lesson and a fabulous sounding guitar! Why dont Gibson make a Les Paul variant with a straight through headstock like that!?
Thank you for the comment! I think Gibson is bound by tradition; the “purists” go crazy if they try to change the original designs
@@CharlieLongGuitar Greetings from the UK and thank you for your great work! Feeling inspired to start learning again after years of stagnation.. do you produce any printed materials to supplement your videos? I've only just discovered your channel, I assume you have a website etc?
did you notice your audio is a few frames off on some of your videos?
Talking about melodic guitar soloist look no further than Alex Lifeson that guy has a swag of tricks and not ego shredder player but if the song requires it then he can give it as good as any but the difference is it's crafted for that song every note is meant to be there fits like a hand in a glove
Love it!! Alex did such great work with Rush!! 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸
Do you give lessons
Does playing chord tones plus notes become modal?
Cool question - it can! Each mode has a note that is key to its sound…and if you play that note with chord tones you could definitely create modal “flavors”
what is the best way to remember and recall the 3,4 and 5 of the chord rapidly? 123 is easy. I really have to think about the 345... Is there an exercise or practice to help with that recall?
For me the visualization of a power chord always gives me the 5th…. The 4th is always on the same fret, 1 string up (D is the 4th of A….A is on the 5th fret of the E string and D is at the 5th fret of the A string).
@@CharlieLongGuitar Thanks for the response. Yeah i just clued in. I picture the top of either the minor Aeolean or top of the Ionian scale as it relates to the root. It just takes me a bit more looking casue i can find the root easy enough. I have to look further on in the pattern which isnt as automatic. I suspect its jusdt training myself to look for those notes instead of the root.
@@CharlieLongGuitar Great lessons by the way. Do you offer private skype or zoom lessons? I find having a teacher create a practice schedule for me and having that accountability has always been better for me.
@@CharlieLongGuitar i Actually used the visualization for the 5th as you mentioned. When i commented about the ionian and Aeolean i meant to identify the 3rd afterward. Gotta watch the 4th in the Lydian interval but the 5th and the 3rd work.. Thanks again.
How can you start engraved that’s in your head, how to start.
“Enough music theory nonsense”. I think you are shooting yourself in the foot by diminishing the importance of the music theory that you just spent time explaining. As a new guitarist, I do appreciate what make major and minor chord or triad. It might sound nerdy, but I would own it. I love the music theory that you sprinkle into your lessons. It helps me understand what I’m doing. 👍
When I say that I’m sort of joking…I’m a huge believer in theory. My entire philosophy comes from a standpoint of “if you don’t know what you’re doing - how can you repeat it when you change keys, etc”
Well said and since you are new to the guitar, I highly recommend that you check out Rick Beato’s channel for a deep dive into theory. Good luck 💯🎸
I have just watched this lesson again after a bit of a break from watching videos and just practicing. On second hearing, I hear the key points of the lesson, which is to get to know your arpeggios back to front. Practice different combinations of 2 notes, so much more. Thank you for producing these videos. I’ll keep practicing and recording my practice sessions. One day I’ll do a before and after compilation. BTW love Andy Timmons’ work.
Love your lessons, but WAY TOO MUCH DISTORTION!
