my own tricks from watching the likes of Tony iommi: - gaps between notes are just as important as notes - feel and groove still exists in solos - subtly move out of your chord at times, eg change 1 note in a legato run by 1 semitone, or use micro-bends - how does the solo escalate or emphasise the feel of the song?
Even if I don't have the skill to pull it off on the same level, the sole fact that I understand the theory of what you're explaining opens up a lot of possibilities for me as a guitarist. Now I have to put it into practice lol. But thanks for creating these series.
You're a monster, I mean a really big crazy scary fire-breathing monster! And I mean that in the most complimentary way. Player as well as teacher. I've been scouring your channel tonight after the Part I video came into my suggestions and really blew me away. Part 2 did not disappoint! I've watched so many teachers over the years and been one myself, I'm 54 now and have been playing for over 35 years. But your energy, your humor, cleverness, and just a natural gift for cutting through the mustard and bringing points home has compelled me to comment, and subscribe. I'm not a metal guy and couldn't tie your shoes in the playing department, but it doesn't matter, you're the shit and I appreciate it. I'll be breaking out my axe and applying your knowledge ASAP! Cheers from Toronto. 🤘☮️
Fantastic video, @beanleyhallsworth! Best guitar lessons on CZcams. That said, I can't help but wonder how this concept would sound over major chords. What if you took C and F instead of Am and Dm? Any chance of making a similar video with major chords instead of minor chords in "How to Easily Solo Over Chord Changes Like a Pro (Pt3)?
Would be nice to see a Part 3 about bending How to remember all positions where i can use bends? Is it necessary for both start and end point of bend to suit the scale, or you can just roll into the right note or roll out from scale note into some higher note, which isn't in scale? Using of chromatic and when it is appropriate is another great theme too
If the key for the song is A minor and I have a chord progression that includes (for example) D minor, can I play the notes in the D minor scale that are not in the A minor scale whenever the Dm chord is playing? Like, can I use notes outside the scale of the key of the song if the chord playing at the moment "allows" me to do so?
Not in the case of Am-Dm, because this chord change is insanely diatonic and we don't expect to hear any notes outside of A minor scale. But if you have a non-diatonic progression like Am - C#m, you're going to want to play notes from each of the scales depending on the chord. You're gonna be more "free" in that case.
@@beanleyhallsworth Thanks a ton for answering! So in that case, during the whole chord rotation, for it to sound "correct" (in music theory standards) am I limited to the A minor scale only? How "adventurous" can i be using 1 scale? (although I know you can use pentatonic and harmonic minor etc)
@@kursatbakis4169 Thank you so much for answering! That leaves me with another question though, whats the meaning of diatonic and How can a chord change be more diatonic than another one? Am-Dm stays in the Am key but the chord C# minor cannot be found in said key so how could Am-C# m sound good without feeling out of place or changing keys? Maybe I haven't made myself clear enough but my "goal" is to do all this without changing keys (staying in Am) and during chord rotation. Thanks in advance
@@davest_55 Chords that naturally belong to the same key are called diatonic chords. There's no such thing as more diatonic or less diatonic, it is either yes or no. Am-C#m progression already feels out of place and it changes keys, but that's the entire point. If you want to play staying only in A minor key, you will want to choose chords diatonic to that key: Bdim, C, Dm, Em (or E), F, G. For your solo to sound correct, although there's no concept of correct or incorrect in music, you need to play the notes inside the key of A minor. If you want to sound more adventurous, you can choose notes outside of the chord tones (such as playing a B over Dm chord).
oh i discovered the same kind of thing using the arpeggio shapes that i learned from all my sweep picking nonsense. edit: oh you say exactly that later in the video
Well, it is sad to see that Bradley has now been replaced with an AI. The programmers made one, simple mistake which gave it all away. Bradley not only said "gotten", which is a big no-no for anyone who actually went to school, but you can also hear the AI glitch as it said it.

That more adventurous solo has some nice Opeth-esque moments. Really great video!!
will this knowledge put me miles ahead of Kirk Hammett?
Obviously you have no chance without a can of beans 🫘 bro
Not a chance without the wah pedal dude
You betcha!
@@beanleyhallsworth yes
You probably already are
Man please do more of these i love them
I needed this so much right now, thank you so much!🤘

8:12 forth as very safe ? it sounds like avoid note to me
Rust in peace all marty solo tab please 🎸☠
Soon!
If the key for the song is A minor and I have a chord progression that includes (for example) D minor, can I play the notes in the D minor scale that are not in the A minor scale whenever the Dm chord is playing? Like, can I use notes outside the scale of the key of the song if the chord playing at the moment "allows" me to do so?
If you're in the key of Am but start playing in Dm over the Dm chord then that's a key change, which is probably not the desired effect!

the perfect guitarist for Megadeth... you are a box of pandora

These are really good tbh, and I'm not that smart.

Dude, you're awesome, do you have a video on pedal effects & set ups for metal, thanks.
