They are a game change when it comes to soloing. For me, you should be able to hear the chord changes in your soloing without any backing. That's the long term aim with this kind of practice.
Another great lesson Andy! The Chord tone approach has always made the most sense to me in approaching soloing. I definitely need to learn my arpeggio's and fretboard better. Thanks and Best Wishes! :)
I agree Bill. Especially as when it boils down to it, even if you use scales, the chord tones are the notes to target! You'll never regret getting to know your arpeggios better!
Thank you .Andy what a Great Teacher you are my favorite on CZcams I'm a beginner jazz lover .Can't call myself a musician yet, I'm on my way .This lesson really helped a lot . Singing, phrases,251,s you're the best.
This is my new favorite guitar lesson video, thank you for posting this! I think you communicate the ideas you're trying to share incredibly well and I'm very thankful to have found this.
Excellent as always, Andy. Thanks for the dialogue on your Patreon site. I think your ability to play jazz is only exceeded by your ability teach it! Looking forward to really exploring your Patreon content,
Wow your teaching style has increased my understanding of arpeggio's and their application ten-fold thank you subbed and liked cheers from New Zealand đ„°
That's over an A7 and it's thinking of a diminished chord as being a Dom 7b9. A7b9 = A C# E G Bb. Bb dim = Bb, C#,E,G = A7 without a root. What I'm doing in the video is using a D7 shape XXXX323 for Bb, C# and G. I then move up a minor third XXX656 for C#,E,Bb and if you keep moving up by that distance you will get that A7b9 sound.
Great wisdom and teaching Great playing, Cool Guy... guitar tooo big , ugggy, Iâm, sorry, I apologize, I used to have a blonde mosrite, best neck ever, great sound, that was 30 years ago, gave it away for $600.00. What a dummy I proved to be. It has a value more than 10 times than that today. Thanks for the content, Good Stuff!
Morning Andy. At the risk of sounding brutally ignorant and I ask the indulgence of the other commentators; Iâm challenged by the E7 chord. If Iâm correct E7 is a major scale with 4 sharps, so I see the âGâ is sharp but why isnât the âDâ? Thank you! Iâll climb back into my shell now.
Great question Michael. That's because E7 is a chord from the key of A major which has three sharps (F#, C# and G#). The chord is: E, G#, B and D, built from the A major scale. Hope that answers your question.
hello!!! Thank you for your videos, they are helping me a lot. I would like to ask you a question: I play blues rock and I have some fluency with 1-4-5, it is easy for me to use dominant chords/arpeggios and do BB KING or Albert style. I find it a little difficult when I try 2-5-1 because I play only arpeggios or play only scales, it doesn't sound fluid and natural. I can play arpeggios in 16th notes and connect arpeggios for close notes but I don't know why it doesn't sound natural. I also tell you that I don't think in notes, I visualize the neck at intervals, I think in numbers. can you give me some advice so when i play 2-5-1 it sounds a little better. thanks a lot
Thank you. I think the ingredient you might be missing is rhythm by the sounds of it. I think all of the above sounds like you are practicing important things, but it has at some point to turn into music. For me, a couple of things I'd try: *sing what you play - don't just do stuff your fingers know *focus on a melody - maybe play it on the ii, and then develop it on the V before closing the idea off on the I *Think about different rhythms you could use - don't be afraid of including space also.
Why do you stop at the third chord change tell us that is the idea finish it all you have plenty of time instead of talking so much about the same thing. And again pa da da ta
Just wanted to comment that this helped me make my first "breakthrough" in soloing last night. Not perfect, but was able to intuitively solo
That's great Evan - glad to help đ
excellent. not only do I learn about going smoothly through the changes, but I also like your way of teaching
I appreciate that!
Love that Gypsy style
Thanks Danny
You have opened up some great improv ideas for me. I have known about chord tones for a long time but never actively used them.
They are a game change when it comes to soloing. For me, you should be able to hear the chord changes in your soloing without any backing. That's the long term aim with this kind of practice.
Thanks Andy, much appreciated.

Thanks :)
Great lesson here Andy, glad I ran across it! đđŒđžđ
Thanks Robert. Yes, I seem to remember enjoying making this one.
Great! thank. Is very difficult to listen and know when to play the nearest tone in the next chord. in theory, easy, to play it, very hard.
I agree. It's something that takes tons of practice!
Andy, new to your channel. Loving this. Very clear, really connects the dots for me. Material on Website is great! Thanks! đđ»
Thank you for the feedback Nils. Glad you like the channel. Thereâs a few videos on chord tone soloing on my channel.
Mighty fine picking there if I do say so pilgrim
Cheers Alfred

Lovely. Thank you so much. Any thoughts on solmisation? I find it really helpful in hearing stuff.
Cheers Adam. I personally haven't been able to get on with solfege, just didn't work for me!
Superbo
Thank you đ
Can you explain your diminished run on 0:42 of the video? How do you know which diminished chord to play?
That's over an A7 and it's thinking of a diminished chord as being a Dom 7b9. A7b9 = A C# E G Bb. Bb dim = Bb, C#,E,G = A7 without a root. What I'm doing in the video is using a D7 shape XXXX323 for Bb, C# and G. I then move up a minor third XXX656 for C#,E,Bb and if you keep moving up by that distance you will get that A7b9 sound.
Is that a vintage 47 185 amp ? Great sounding Gibson eh 185 amp copy. Love it
Yes, I love it. Iâve never had the opportunity to try an original Gibson one.
Great wisdom and teaching Great playing, Cool Guy... guitar tooo big , ugggy, Iâm, sorry, I apologize, I used to have a blonde mosrite, best neck ever, great sound, that was 30 years ago, gave it away for $600.00.

bet that one guy who downvoted doesn't like chord tones
đ I filmed answer to your question today for the April Q&A đž
Why do you stop at the third chord change tell us that is the idea finish it all you have plenty of time instead of talking so much about the same thing. And again pa da da ta
Maybe to reinforce it Alfred. Viewers are all at different levels after all and that is the hardest thing about making these videos!
