I'm 60. Earlier in my guitar life, the scales were directing my soloing. After years, getting more confident, I realized that this is the world upside down. You have to have a melody in your head, envision it on your fretboard, and then apply scales (and notes that come with the melody) to play your solo. This changed my life: I was no longer doing the "classic rock solo" to impress others (=fellow musicians instead of the public) of my technique, but was supporting the song and telling a story...

Thanks Rhett!! Such a treat to hang with you, my friend! Thanks for everything and excited to host the workshop on the 29th.

This may be the single best instructional video I’ve ever watched. Tone. Touch. Timing. Aha!

[michaelmele]

"Shading" is a great word for the degrees of touch. Before you said that, I was already thinking of the value scale we had to do in art school.

[rmssegwunfan]

Your videos are always so helpful! Thanks man!

[music_ethos]

This is a gold mine. I was shocked when you mentioned the concept of “shading chords”. That is something I really want to look into now!

[RR-qizw]

Fantastic tips. I feel like these types of concise yet impactful nuggets are rare.

[GearOneMusic]

Insane advice guys! Thank you so much for that!

[alexz.reynaud]

Thanks for sharing this kind of knowledge. I’ve been playing guitar for the past 25 years, and always keep learning ever since! Your videos are of great help! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[ninewhitepony]

Pretty straight forward and simple. Might be the most simplified and yet important lesson I've ever seen on YouTube. Great job

[drpaco]

Love the approach! Refreshing way to developing our playing.

[steveangell]

[ontherocks]

Rhett, for the many years I’ve been subscribed to your channel, I’ve always most enjoyed your intro jams. 🤙🏼

[ICRTIFEDI]

That sound at the start is just bliss!!

[moon_child_farm]

Great video and tips. Thank you gentlemen.

[michaelkaufman]

thank you Rhett for bringing on Daniel and his 3-"T" s...fantastic; basic, and simple yet the foundation of playing...

[FreeUrMindz]

Great video. I picked up more than I few nuanced tips. Thanks guys!

[GregBonks]

One of my favorite guitar solos is from the song "Coffee and TV" by Blur. Graham Coxon recorded a bunch of random notes while turning on and off pedals on his pedalboard. It perfectly fits the nature of the song.

[KBtoogood]

Man thank you so much Rhett! I’ll be honest I’ve been in a major rut lately, just playing scales and honestly the more frustrated I get the more I just play scales 😂. But this helps so much. Can’t wait to go home and apply this. Thanks!
