Seriously man you are the best teacher on youtube! You've broken this intimidating concept down in a way that's manageable and understandable. Thanks s ton!

I'm 50. Been playing guitar forever. You are the best teacher I've seen in my life. So glad I found your channel. Music is an escape for me and I truly thank you for your lessons.

Easily the best video out there on chord tone targeting. Especially the part 3 section - your ear is the ultimate guide. Love your lessons Mr Kelly!

Just watching you speak as you break things down crisp and clear is what I like 👍 please keep up the good work 😊 Another inspiring video 🎸🎸👌

Brian does such a great job in making things simple. The cool thing is that he seems just to be talking to you as a friend. I think that this is what makes him a great teacher and why everyone takes away something that is useful, practical, and, with a little practice, easy to do. Appreciate you, bro! Thanks, Brian!

You really are one of the best out there at explaining stuff.

Great lesson, I like the emphasis on being able to play an entire solo within a small area of the fretboard 👍

Great stuff Brian. Thank You!! The graphics are very helpful. I find that focusing on the lower four strings, and a lower extension makes things much easier for me. I've also found that for me, instead of thinking about notes, I think about the intervals. I've been working with 1-4-5 progression backing tracks. Knowing that the 6th interval, is the 4 chord, and that sliding up a fret is the 5 chords works well in my brain. :)

Bro! That was the most useful soloing lesson that i have come across. I can play all natural and pentatonic scales already fluently over the neck but had troubles memorizing chord tones. the 50;50 method is a game changer. this allows to just play and over time, intuitively know where the tones are even if you might cant label it third or fifth etc. really thank you! ❤

As a jazz musician this is essential material which has to be mastered to build musical phrases, of course also using approach notes to the traid notes which give that chromatic musical feel ( great stuff). You gave a thorough overview, good work. I'd say it's Corona time now boys, please no excuses of saying you don't have time or other distractions, unless you want to remain a "Weekend Warrior " ( with all respect).

This video has actually given me some hope! Thank you.

[Will-shkl]

Another great lesson! Your graphics really help a lot too. Thanks dude!

1, 3, 5 relation tones from the 1, 4, 5 tones are 'relatively' easy to find as well as the 7th when all the notes are in a repeating 4 note cluster or very close by(the fifth). Thank you again Brian.

[timleem]

Excellent video! You really explain it so well that it's understandable. My challenge is first being able to recognize the chord changes and then trying to apply a triad that will work and sound good. Need to practice more! What you say about listening to what your ear says sounds good is really interesting too. I apply that concept a lot so I'll have to see if what I'm picking may be the chord so.

I am going to watch this video over and over until I get it. The way you explain Tones and scales you are one of the best teachers online.

[MustafaBaabad]

Thanks for the very good lesson. Cheers from Indonesia.

[TheWidowMaker.]

I've watched a couple of your videos on this subject now and hands down, you answer most the questions in my head with out any bullshit added. You my friend, are legendary status.

Could you make a video on structuring a solo? Like melody, repeat, freerun a bit, melody or whatever?

[russr]

Outstanding lesson! I am familiar with all three steps however Brian put it all together with a clear explanation, visuals and playing examples. For me, this video is a great reminder to keep it simple and focus on what works. Now, the challenging part. “Practice makes perfect”. Thanks for the lesson Brian!
