Making Guitar Licks fit the Chords - Q & A with Robert Renman

Robert is the best teacher on YouTube when it comes to chord tones.

I don't know how anyone can play without learning some level of theory. Great lessons here!

I discovered yesterday this Video, went quickly through others video from you Robert and I have to admit that you appeared to me as a SERIOUS guy willing to explain clearly. I DO appreciate this spriti of willing to offer the best, your explanations are very well built. I definitly will investifate more your videos from now (and already bough the 6 Licks pack).
Great Job, this makes me happy to discover from time to time great guys as you are Robert.

Great idea learning the arpeggios. I keep playing fewer and fewer notes and sounding better. Even really simple licks sound great if you hit the chord tones and add some feel.

[andrewwright]

Superb lesson, brilliant playing. Cheers

Hey Robert,
As usual, when I give a first listen through to one of your theory oriented lessons I am totally intimidated. It's like WHAT?!!! Then after working through it in bits and pieces, WHAT? becomes YES!!!
Usually I just resort to playing pieces from the scale that the dominate key that the progression is in. Sounds ok, but following each chord with notes from that chords arpeggios as you have demonstrated has so much more feeling. Hope what I just said makes sense.
Great stuff, thanks again Maestro!

Great player, great teacher, great guy.

I believe that is the most useful single lesson on learning something about how to construct a blues lick I have ever seen

[pauldeatherage]

One of the prettiest s style guitars ive seen nice Rob

Hi Robert. Many thanks for this. I think that this is a must-see lesson for guitarists. The whole 'Chord Tone'/CAGED/Arpeggio idea, and the relationships between them have taken years to penetrate my tiny brain, and I have been trying to integrate them into my playing for a year or so.

[Jossblues]

You are a great teacher Robert. Thanks

[PhoShzel]

Great lesson! This is helping me break out of the scale rut. Many thanks.

[crazyballz]

Thank you professor X you're the best!

[kenlee]

Great clarification of must-know for soloing in conjunction with chord progressions through the blues examples. Yeah I agree with you that you don't have to know all the theories if you can still play without it. But I am sure it is still a very efficient way of learning to play competently. What if they don't possess gifted sense of hitting the right notes even from the early stage? In that case knowing your theory is one of the essentials to get you there I suppose.

Enjoy watching you go up and down when I learnt boxes I went across more than up and Down

[fabiansylvester]

Really amazing and concise lesson thank you Robert. You make a lot of sense.

[StLukeG]

Thanks for lesson. Your playing sounds great :)

[tomazkadis]

Robert thank you. I learned something new again.

[stringman]

Hi Robert how do I join your academy for lessons and backing tracks . I'm just currently up to this point in my guitar playing thanks Colin UK

Question. It would be interesting to see a few fusion flavored progression and licks.
