How to Jump into a Guitar Solo 

I been playing guitar for roughly 32 years but yet I always seem to watch RU-vid guitar lessons. It doesn't seem to matter if it's beginner lessons to advanced lessons I always learn something new that I can apply to my guitar playing. Thank you Sean.

You're a great teacher! As a self learning guitarist these pretty basic things pass by me, but then you put out these really entretaining videos!

35+yrs. playing, never stopped being a student. Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much for the insight! I'm subscribing.

I am amazed at how guitarists can play so cool. Ive been struggling for 20 years and still cannot play barre chords properly and my fingers wont move well enough to play pentatonic scales. I can see that you are an excellent teacher for the more gifted and I enjoy listening to your skills. WOW !

Excellent lesson, thank you Sean! Ive been playing guitar for 26 years now, I started off learning chords and not long after the pentatonic, finally the past few years I buckled down and learned as much theory as I could, I can now play Major/Minor scales and major pentatonic/minor pentatonic in all keys across the whole fretboard! I make up backing tracks or jam over ones on here, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos cause they are helping me become more musical and helping me to understand how to connect chords, scales and arpeggios and how to actually use these things so I have survived many plateaus and I am very happy to be at the point where I feel like I have all the theory tools to play with creative freedom!!! Im amazed at how much we can learn from each of your videos even though some are under 10 minutes long, this gave me some great ideas thanks again!

Sean, thanks a ton man! Been playing guitar 7 years and absolutely SUCK at combining scales with chords so definitely found this to be very helpful. Rhythm guitar is my strength.

Sean: This short tutorial made the most sense yet. Maybe some of this is coming together for me; an old man of 70. Great lesson. Thank you.

Thank. You Sean from Murdoch Western Australia. This lesson has opened up a whole new world of soloing which I can use. You have a great gift of teaching music which is much appreciated. Cheers and Beers as they say in the West.

Also, don't jump into a drumset.

Years in the dark searching gathering all these pieces scales . Modes , chords, and then BAM I stumbled across your Harmonizing lesson ! It was like i opened my eyes , I could see ! Then I seen your buddy Stiches how to use pentatonic ! I am at lost for words on how much these two videos changed the way I see and think, Thank You Guys, For Passing Your Knowledge.

I can watch so many different teachers on RU-vid they’re all great don’t get me wrong. But your teaching style has led to 90% of my breakthroughs on guitar. Thankyou so much!

You're vids have really helped me get to the point where I feel like I'm actually advancing into a guitar player, instead of just playing up and down scales.

Love this vid. And the way you teach. Opened up a door for me. Thanks, man

I dont think I am in this level yet. I dont know why I am watching. It is still pretty cool I am still in the process of learning chords lol

I’ve always been more of an experimental player, playing by ear and just seeing where the song goes, but your videos are really helping me to broaden my knowledge and understanding the fret board. You’re a great teacher. Keep making videos!

This one of maybe two channels I find actually helpful, Thank you so much for not just giving an intro and then promoting you "Guitar system"

Hey man just subscribed,..I dont know where you were born but listening to you is like a friendly bee having a cool chat in a bar someplace warm,..you got like a buzz in your speech and man it's so cool ..this aint a piss take honest ..I get in all kindsa shit for speaking my mind,..but hey that's just my way,..anyhoo you and Mr Beardy are really out there for people like me,..sooo a massive ty to both of you,..so from an older guy to a younger guy ty..K.Wolf

Brilliant lesson, why has know one showed me this before. Cheers mate

Thank you sir for taking the time to make this video and making it available for us to improve our lives!

Your video is optimally paced, not too fast and not too slow, just perfect and so informative. Subscribed and thank you

"Looks easy... Tried it... Its harder than it looks" Everyone

This is totally amazing. You just opened my eyes to something totally new! Thanks a million.

Sean… just another kick ass lesson that someone like myself that’s really starting to understand the guitar after 10years can use immediately! Lessons like these are what has helped me along in my guitar playing… Thanks for all you do!

This is a great gift on my birthday today! Thanks for your tutorial and I earned additional knowledge that can be helpful in improving my compositions..

cheers maestro your one of the top teachers of utube along with steve stine and marty you are great at unlocking a lot of mystery in the fretted highly addictive gitbox...

Awesome lesson, there's this weeks homework. Cheers again mate.

I love these videos a lot you don't really throw too much random advanced stuff into the mix, so everybody can still follow along cheers, and thank you!

OOOOOOooohh I love that minor chord slide along the scale going up to the pentatonic shape! Damn, 8 Years of guitar is never enough I'm always learning new little tricks here and there. Your teaching is fantastic btw Sean Daniel!

Good man, really liking how the videos are combining rhythm and solo :)

Love the way you teach I appreciate that..master..

i've searched a few lesson's this seems to be just about where i'm at after an eternity of trying to find it..Great No bullshit lesson & straight to the point..Thanks for this gift..It's honestly feels like what others seem to have been trying to hide..Or they've forgotten it's a crucial learning curve for quite a few of us.Thanks Again i shall recommend to a few close friend's

This has been a great lesson for me Sean thanks.Have a great New Year.

I really like you. You're a lot of fun to learn from

Man this shit is so useful for me as a beginner guitarist. I know it's good to have a solid base in theory and eventually piece this together yourself but these little tips keep things fun while I'm grinding through the more arduous mechanics of music theory

Well I've finally found a good guitar teacher that keeps it down to earth, applicable and interesting. Thanks!

Itruly enjoyed this. Am taking an learning it in pieces. thank you so much Sean. This is so much fun 😁😊🙏

Pewdiepie ran out of content. Went on guitar tutorial instead

Can you made a video for how to go back to the cords maybe from the "solo"

This was a great video and gave me food for thought. I've only been playing for three months, but videos like this make me want to stick with it for life :)

Sean is the best I have come across I find its easier to follow his tips Thanks man

Fun trivia - If you sequence the formula for the original arpeggio he uses (1,2,3,5) across 3 octaves in Cmajor...or better said Cadd9, you're playing the Final Fantasy 7 prelude.... :-)

The first example is NOT an arpeggio - arpeggios are made up of chord tones played one at a time. It is a partial D-Major pentatonic scale, which is the relative major to the B minor. The tonic of B minor is B, not D. The relative minor scale consists of the same notes as its relative major, but starting on the 6th tone of the major scale. The relative major scale starts on the 3rd tone of its relative minor. This is true in all keys. The Major pentatonic and its Minor pentatonic scale "shapes" are identical - the landing points determine their mode (major or minor). In the example, you land on D, so you are really playing a D major pentatonic scale - it just happens to have all the same notes as the B minor. Good technique, but the musc theory terms are inaccurate.

Brilliant, this is so helpful and explained so clearly. This will move my learning and playing on significantly- thank you 🙏👍

subscribed! ill have to go through the rest of your videos, but this is definitely one of the ones that really teaches what us beginners need to know. thanks!

Hmm the initial arpeggio actually reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd's wish you were here

any japanese thrashcore recommendations? I like bleach03

Woow..Very interesting and refreshing.Will definitly working this concept into my playing..apreciate it a lot.

Exactly what I’ve been trying to do. More like this one please. It’s fire

I have a really big question for you. When a chord is playing, how many different scales available to play solo? In your previous videos, I got the gist that when the solo part is played-for example-when it hits the C chord (in thr key of C), we can play either the C chord scale (either the major or minor scale), or the A minor pentatonic scale (the relative minor scalr of the key of C), thus we are given two options of which scale to play the solo. You also show that in any keys, the relative minor pentatonic scale of that key is always good to play in any chords of that key, but does that mean our note options are limited to just one scale for each key? Which I don't believe is true. So, what options do we have when soloing, in terms of note scales? And when those multiple options are available, is it possible to mix them into one continuous solo playing? For example, when the C chord is playing, I may play the relative minor pentatonic scale (A minor scale) and the C major scale interchangeably in one solo. Would it be nice to mix the two scales, or just play one scale at a time? Sorry for long post. I'd appreciate it if you could demonstrate what I've been questioning in any future videos you'll make. Thank you. Keep the good works coming!

Sean Daniel, aka the one who helps guys to get laid thanks to guitar. Genius.

your videos make learning fun and easy. thanks for these videos, these little things surely has helped my playing.

Dude the way you explain theory while still making it sound good is simple and great! It's very helpful getting out of ruts.

If I'm honest I didn't like the sound of these particular alternate chord voicings in the pre-solo part, that semi-arpeggio way sounded way better. You know, tastes. Still a good lesson though, cheers!

Antonio Banderas making guitar lessons. Great vid. And sorry but you really look like Antonio Banderas :D :D :D

This is probably the best guitar lesson of all time... Thanks Sean

Golden tutorial. Funny thing. I just stated today this issue I have of jumping from chord to arpeggio and back. Making it fluid and YT pops this up for me and it's you again 🙀😹🙀😉. Thanks Sean. I can see what this weekend will bring.

Is this guy Pewdiepie's twin???!!! they really look alike , and the voice sounds the same!!!

I didn't know pewdiepie played guitar

Lovin these lessons thanks mate!

Fantastic lesson, really helps link chords, scales and arpeggios into a cohesive sound. I'm excited to start incorporating these ideas into a more interesting song writing exercise.

Is this guy playing a guitar? Or are these shrooms just a little too strong

Never "jump into" a video titled "Jump into a Guitar Solo."

I've been struggling with this exact issue. A big thank you for sharing. 🤙🎶

Really good lesson. Even I understood this one and honestly that does not happen real often. Thank you very much.

I dont even have a guitar Why am I even here?

Nah, i am good with my cords

Thank you for making these videos! I find them incredibly helpful and I appreciate that you get straight to business without giving too long of an introduction. Thanks a lot! :)

This is amazing! Thanks so much for this vid it really open a lot of door ways

too much talk , less material

Thank you very much, you're putting light into this journey, gracias amigo

Hey Sean! Your lessons are so good! I wish these were things I learned from my teacher! Great job!

Thank you so much! You make switching between chords and solo look so easy, while others are more in mystifying things. GIve us some more! Great Job!

Found you this week end. After looking at lots of net based guitar sites over several years I have found the man. Thanks for your great lessons and insights. Jim in Australia

Your energy and enthusiasm. Much appreciated.

Nice lesson, look forward to trying this out

Another great video. Thanks. Love 'em.

When I grow up I want to be like you for me the best guitar teacher and Guitarist I have ever known Much love Sean Daniel You inspire me alot much appreciate you 🙌

Wow bro ever since seeing your videos it really has helped me progress, you just cut the bullshit and simplify into something more understandable compared to rest of the guitar teachers on youtube....i literally praise you and thank you a million! Keep it up love you man :)

Thanks for the incredible insight Sean! Very helpful indeed.

Yup that's useful....love your vids bro...always learning something new....gotta sub

KISS= Keep it simple stupid. You just did and it was a real nice job. You must be a wonderful teacher and seem like a good down to earth guy. I've been playing 50 years but you brought me back to some great basics. Thanks.

This is awesome... Anyone who has a basic knowledge of the Major Scale and how Chord Progression works should be able to get some more insight into their soloing. This video opened a few doors to my playing ability, and being able to see the fret board from another perspective is priceless. Great video.

Thanks for the lesson. I like it!👍😎🎸🎶

Cheers for that, Sean. Simple yet effective 'tricks' for someone trying to take that step into soloing. 🙏

Hi Sean, I enjoy your inspirational films. I'm a reasonably competent beginner but struggling to bridge the gap between chords and soloing. You've introduced the idea of how to navigate this mystery.

Wow! Some valuable information in this short video!!

You are a motivation and inspiration so glad I found this channel and started watching your videos

Another cool lesson ... thanks Mister!!

Sean, You.Are.Awesome! Thanks a lot for the great vids.

Great practical advice for learning the fretboard! Very concise and easy to understand. I O U May you be ex exceedingly blessed my friendThank you Sean

Thanks Sean. This lesson has been very helpful!

You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing

Been searching for weeks for this. Thanks man!

Dude you're the best thanks so much!

Thanks for this, this was very informative!

Fantastic lesson, Sean. Thanks!

Your videos blow my mind man! Thank you so much.

awesome teacher; keep pumping these out, i've learned more from this channel than i've learned in 20 years of playing guitar! -which is sad on my part! ...but better late than never right?! Thank you sir!

Great lesson...this is very helpful! Getting into these little solos is one of the toughest things for most people, including myself.

That is so good, Sean ! love the solo
