PENTATONIC SOLO VS TRIAD SOLO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Let’s look at the differences between a pentatonic solo vs triad solo. Both the pentatonic based solo and the triad based solo are great ways to visualize the fretboard when creating a blues rock lead guitar solo. Here is a link for the blues rock backing track I used in this lesson video.  • Blues Rock Guitar Back... This is an intermediate to advanced lead guitar lesson. The minor Pentatonic scale is a pattern based way to look at the fretboard. and using Triad is more looking at shapes to visualize the fretboard. These are two great tools that you can use to improvise some great blues rock lead guitar solos. And the magic happens when you mix the minor pentatonic scale and triad shapes all over the fretboard.

Thank you for the lessons ❤❤❤❤
I mostly use my RING 💍 finger for my triade "slides". Same all the way up down,,. It fits, the good lesson.
@@jimkostan9932 Cool! That’s puts you in good position! It’s a great way to visualize a fretboard! Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson✌️
Amazing lesson! Can I get the TAB?
Have to tell ya, Rusty...what makes your lessons stand out from others is that you provide the backing track so we can practice what you have taught. Well done.
Thanks so much Mike! I appreciate your comment and support of my channel! Later bro 😎
A big thing people need to grasp: The notes. forget the frets. Learn the notes. Much more powerful and is what you should be doing if you are even halfway serious about the instrument.
Edit: yes frets and shapes are valid too. I just mean that the priority should definitely be notes.
Thanks for sharing.
Agreed. I transcribe songs from tabs onto the staff.
I'm not really sure what you're saying. "Learn the notes, forget the frets?"
But y'know, ppl learn in different ways.
Are you saying we should learn the names of the notes? Or the sound of them?
Cuz if it's the former, I'm fairly advanced intermediate, and i know a few notes around the fretboard, enough to find mt triads quickly. But i still don't know where all of them are. I can to figure it out, but not "instantly."
If you're saying the latter, that's still a fairly advanced concept too. I remember when i started being able to think of a musical phrase in my mind, pick up the guitar, and put my finger on the right fret of the right string to play the first note is what i was thinking.
Maybe clarify a bit?
@@jeffro. i added an edit to clarify but this was hyperbole. A guitarist should hone 3 areas to help them navigate the neck: notes, frets and shapes and your ear.
When it comes to learning and exchanging ideas, you have to know your notes if you even half serious about any instrument. It also helps you modify chords and place inversions as you know what notes are where and how they relate. It also makes it much easier to target chord tones. The benefits are endless.
Guitarists are all too often tempted to go exclusively by frets and they do themselves and any other musician they interact with a disservice in doing so.
I'm a regular gigging guitarist in London and find that your ideas get into my fingers in the heat of the moment in a solo. I've always been into that more American, melodic sound rather than the usual Brit rock sounds, clever as they are. Thanks for your melodic ideas
That’s awesome, Kevin! It would be a blast to jam with you. But I’m way over here in Chicago. Thanks a lot for checking out my videos and have a great weekend.👍
I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before Rusty but I started ‘playing’ the guitar 30 years ago by simply copying every note but not knowing what I was doing so I gave up. It sounded ok but I was limited. I’ve just picked the old bird up again and started practicing my scales and getting into music theory which has made this video so much more interesting. If anyone thinks theory etc is boring, don’t. It will open up a new world.
I’m glad you’re playing again that’s exciting! Everyone needs to know at least basic theory! That’s why so many players feel stuck because they don’t. Let’s keep working on the stuff together! Thanks brother.✌️
You will absolutely hit a wall without it. Guilty individual here 😂
Watching the picking positions and techniques are important I'm observing as well.
I did the same thing. Reading many comments, it’s a common thing we do. Give up and pick it up years later and do better
Same here. I've been playing for around 20 years. I started learning theory only in the past couple of years and it's helped me massively
That triad solo in the beginning was amazing. Some of those notes just hit ya in the right spot. Very emotive.
I really appreciate that my brother! Thanks so much for checking out the lesson! Talk to you soon👍
He played the changes
Five Star lesson Rusty!!!! So many people throw triad stuff out there without having anything meaningful and satisfying to practice it on! But not you! You're licks sound like a rock song being born. Well done.
Oh yeah Rusty ❤i!! How I love this lesson, please stay well! Thank you for all the great lessons. ❤
I appreciate that G! Thanks for the great comment bud! Keep rockin my man ✌️
That last solo giving ZZ Top vibes, you cant deceive us! Haha
Oh yes! I love me some Billy Gibbons Guitar. I won’t try to hide it. Thanks for watching.👍
Yeah, love the sounds you get out of those triads.
I’m glad to hear it QBRX! I was definitely having fun. I appreciate you leaving a comment. Have a great week bro.😎
Soo good to be taught in this natural way... with funtastic music+spirit! I worked on it and I became such a joyful player by this! Hugs and shoulder claps over the great water from Gemany, thx Rusty!!! ♥👏
Hey Henry! I like that word Funtastic!!! Thanks for checking my lessons out way over here in Chicago. I appreciate the comment Henry.😎
Please more lead playing content similar to this video!!! You’re the best Rusty :)
Cool! More to come! Catch you later 😎
just 2 mins into the vid and so much helpful info already. you always explain the little parts a lot of guitarists assume we already know, thank you!
I’m always happy to help! Thank you for leaving this great comment Mr.B. I appreciate you checking out my videos! Talk to you soon my brother 😎
Here I am back again getting another great lesson from a solid teacher. Well done sir!
Greatly appreciated mate! Thanks for watching. Cheers 👍
Very basic info that I have missed along the way. And, very well demonstrated. This is major for me. Thanks!
Thanks Mr. Mike! I’m glad you got something from the lesson! Enjoy your weekend ✌️
Hi Rusty your pal from across the pond in the UK here. Keep up these lessons because you are a natural teacher and I have lost count of the hours I've spent learning and actually digesting this info into practical fun times !!!!! thank you for all the effort!!!!!
Good to hear from you, mate! It sounds like you’re moving forward in your guitar journey! I’m glad to be a part of it. Thanks for all your support Christopher! Cheers.👍
Thanks Rusty! Awesome instruction once again. May God continue to bless you...
You’re welcome Curtis! Blessings to you also buddy🙏
Very nice. Don't hear about triads enough sometimes when starting out.
Hey Ben, good to hear from you! You are right I didn’t hear one word about triads as I was learning Guitar back in the 70s! But it certainly is a great way to visualize a fretboard. Have a great week buddy.👍
You always remind me of things I already know, but constantly do it the hard way. Thanks !
Nice! I’m happy to help! Thanks for checking out the lesson👍
This is very helpful for improv solos. Thank you so much.
I’m happy to hear that. The lesson was helpful. BW! Enjoy your Sunday. Thanks for watching.🙏
Great lesson. Thanks for going through the whole licks slowly and calling out the notes. Much appreciated.
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my lessons buddy. Talk to you soon.👍
this was sooo helpful thankyou soo much❤
I’m glad the lesson was helpful! Thanks for watching👍
Just awesome! Thanks Rusty!👍
I really appreciate that Steve! And you’re very welcome! Later buddy 😎
Thank you, Rusty. Another excellent lesson. Very helpful.
You’re welcome, Stephen! I’m really happy to hear that the lesson was helpful! Thanks for checking out the lesson👍
This is so informative . U broke it down so well to understand it . Thank you so much for your abundant knowledge ..
I’m happy to help! Thanks for checking out the lesson! Catch you later👍
Very descriptive lesson about bluesy and melodic soloing Rusty and how to mix this 2 ways in our soloing, so useful. Thanks so much my friend!
I appreciate that Rafa thanks a lot for the feedback! Have a great week my friend👍
Always good stuff thanks
Thanks for checking out the video! Much appreciated buddy👍
Great lesson, Rusty. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much Ray! Better than ever before in 2024! Talk to you soon, Ray👍
A really useful lesson or idea, whatever. Seemingly obvious things that you know about, but don’t know how to use correctly. You have opened a new level for me. Much success to you and my gratitude!
I’m glad the lesson was useful to you! I appreciate this feedback! Thanks so much for watching🤛
Really good content, Mr. Rusty - appreciate you posting!
Thank you, JP! I appreciate you watching👍
Very useful and easy to understand.
Thank you Rusty!
I’m really glad the lesson was useful Joe! And you’re very welcome! Have a great week👍
Great breakdown, and thanks for supplying the backing track! You're awesome!
Thanks buddy! And you’re very welcome. Catch you later.👍
Thanks
Ray, my friend, many thanks for your support! It’s greatly appreciated my brother 🙏
Thanks, God bless you always!
You’re welcome, Mel! Blessings to you also my brother 🙏
Triads and cord tones, what a great way to make a melodic solo. Thanks for the video! God bless!
Right on Michael! Always good to hear from you mate! Cheers 👍 Blessings to you also 🙏
I’m getting a great deal of mileage from “piece of the triad”. Playing the outer strings of the triad & moving to the next triad on the same string set is surprisingly musical. This is a great lesson. I’m going to work on this all day.
Right on JH! Triads really open up the fretboard! Sounds like you’re having some fun with them. I appreciate your feedback here and thanks for watching.👍
Great stuff! Luckily I ran into your video today!!! Never heard of it before! Thank you for sharing great stuff!!!! Great explanation of everything and easy to follow and listen to!!!!!!
Good to see you here JM! I’m happy to help! Thanks a lot for checking out the video! Later bro 😎
Great lesson Rusty! I got a question from a student today. I was happy this was the video he was asking about, and he's watching your channel!
Thanks Mark! I’m sure we have a lot of the same subscribers and that’s awesome! It’s always good to hear from you my brother👍
great easy to grasp lesson, thanks
Thanks Joe! I appreciate you checking out my video 👍
I'm sorry but it's like your in my head I don't even have to think now, your doing that for me lol you are a no nonsense teacher! Awesome job thanks! 🤘🤘
I think we both like the same guitar music. Let’s keep working on this stuff together! Thanks a lot for watching mate! Cheers 👍
Great job
Very well explained
Cool Joseph! Thanks a lot for checking out the video👍
Late, but made it.. keep doin’ it, just like you’re doin’ it, Rusty!

Thanks Rusty, very helpful advice ☮️🎸
Thanks my guitar buddy! I’m happy to help👍
Thank you sir.. subbed
You’re welcome! Thanks a lot for subscribing to my channel!!! Have a great weekend 👍
Hello ,teacher you are the best .thank you for all.
Thanks for watching! And you’re very welcome👍
Thanx again Rusty. I said to myself, I played this riff before. It took a while but it was the beginning of a solo in "No One Like You" Scorpions. A part of it anyway. Always love your channel.
Hey Steve, I love some Scorpions guitar! Thanks a lot for all your support. Catch you later ✌️
That was a really informative lesson, with some good demonstration. your note choice was on point.
Cool! I’m always happy to help! Thanks for watching and let’s talk soon🤛
Glad the short brought me over. Very good...
I mean it might've taken me awhile to back for it to watch and👍Up.
👍
Great to see you here! Thanks a lot for checking out my videos👍
THIS IS GREAT AND FINALLY WHAT I WANT, thanks Rusty, I'll try to solo with Triad first and then mixing with pentatonic scale
I hope you have fun with it! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Talk to you soon👍
Xclent cover sir❤
I hope you liked the guitar lesson! Thanks👍
Great lesson. For many years I couldn’t get solos to sound good at all, just endless dull noodling up and down the pentatonic scales. Triads and arpeggios never seemed to get much of a mention.. they should be taught right from the beginning. Corey C videos turned me onto them (another great player and teacher) but I have to say your video nails the concept so clearly and simply for us rank amateurs. Brilliant! Thank you.
Hey Jack, i’m happy to hear that you got something from the lesson! And yes, Corey C is an awesome player and teacher! I appreciate the feedback here in your message. Thanks so much for checking out the video.👍
Fantastic video❤👍
Thanks for watching the lesson👍
Solid gold! (as usual, Rusty! 😉)
Getting right down to the meat & potatoes of rock!
You always make everything look so easy.
You're such a rockin' guitarist, you always make a few fretting ideas sound awesome!
Seriously, you can take a newbie guitarist and make 'em sound good.
Plus, you have such a laid-back, easy-going style explaining things, you have the patience of a great teacher.
Thanks for these chunks of gold, so we can all rock-on with some great licks. 👍 👌
I really appreciate the feedback here Jeff! When I’m creating these lessons, I think back about the things that I wanted to learn earlier on. Thanks so much for all your support to my channel! It means a lot. Thanks, Jeff.😎
Hey Rusty absolutely brilliant. You're an absolute inspiration to us lesser mortals. BTW Mark Z sent me
Mark Z is the best! It’s really good to see you here David let’s keep working on the stuff together! Enjoy your Sunday🙏
I like when I don't have to think too much! LOL Great lesson, this afternoon, Rusty!
I think that’s my best advice! 😂 Thank you Karen! Enjoy the rest of your week ❤️
Great lesson Rusty!
I appreciate that Joe! Thanks a lot👍
Back again. Covid had got me🙄🙈. Great Lesson Rusty, sounds amazing 👍👍👍. I will try it and hope my fingers remember all these stuff. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good to hear from you WP! I’m glad you’re feeling better! It’s just like riding a bike! You got this👍
Using C Minor pentatonic to a C major key.i love it!
Definitely major or minor pentatonic would work over this track. Thanks for the comment.✌️
I'm interested to know why the C Minor pentatonic works over this progression that has C Major in it?@@rustysguitar1
@@KeithChapman84 hey Keith, blues and rock players have been using the minor pentatonic scale over major chords for decades. You can use major or minor pentatonic, depending on how you want it to sound.
Got it thanks
Thanks Clifton! Let me know if the lesson is helpful✌️
Another superb presentation Rusty 👍👍🎸🎸
Thank you, Tony! I appreciate you watching👍
very helpful..👍
I’m happy that the lesson was helpful WJ! Thanks for watching👍
Great lesson Rusty. You’re moving close to 100k subscribers
Thanks a lot Scooby! Yes, the channel is moving forward! I’m having fun doing what I love to do! And I appreciate you coming along for the ride my brother! Thanks for all your support man😎
Rusty, just found you ...your intermediate level is just what I was needing. I still lack great fretboard memorization...but within your mixed pentatonic and blues patterns with extensions I can keep up just enough to challenge me but not way above my skill level at all.. Thanks, your sounds are really great..I'm a Jazz Rock Sax player and started guitar off and on my whole musical life.. but time now to play a ton..wish you were my next door neighbor. Lol
I’m glad you found my channel! It’s good that these lessons challenge you a bit. It’s exciting to make those new connections on the fretboard! And with your musical background already this stuff will start creeping in to your guitar playing for sure. Good to hear from you. Thanks.👍
Thank you for sharing! I use triads all the time, and there's a lot of cool jazzy tricks like using leading into the triad note with the note that is one tone or half-step flat. It's a whole different way of looking at the fret board that unlocks playing in any key change, but most importantly have fun with it everyday, one shape on the fretboard at a time. As an intermediate player for a while- you will forget things you've rehearsed recently, but don't get discouraged. There's a chance you'll latch onto one thing you can use in your guitar playing for the rest of your life.
Well said Guitar nerd! Thanks for the comment and I really appreciate you checking out my videos.👍
Another great lesson. Bite size chunks I feel like I can appl right away. I've also subscribed to your worship guitar channel.
I’m glad you liked the lesson Mike! Thanks for supporting my guitar channels! Have a great rest of your week👍
great tone!
Cool! I’m glad you liked it! Thanks a lot for watching🙏
Comfortably Numb, Hotel California, Sultans of Swing are all using this approach. Great, great video!
You are so right, Martin! I never could see that early on in my guitar playing! I still need to keep working on it myself! Thanks buddy👍
Great lesson. Zz top and dave gilmore use these these shapes a lot .
Right on Neil! I love me some Billy Gibbons and David Gilmore Guitar! Thanks for checking out the video😎
Ok so that's what ZZ Top is doing!! Very informative, you got a new subscriber within the first few minutes
Right on bro! I love me some Billy Gibbons Guitar. Thanks so much for subscribing to my channel. And I also really appreciate your comment.🤛
Guitar gold Rusty........absolutely great example..........thanks Paul from Ireland
Many thanks my friend Paul! I had fun making this video! It’s always good to hear from you! 👍
Muy Buen video, entiendo el concepto.
Cool! I’m glad you got some thing from the video. Thanks for checking in.👍
You really have simple to follow lessons.
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to watch my lessons! Have a great weekend, Lawrence 🤛
This is cool 😎
Right on brother! Thanks for watching😎
Cool 😎👍🎸
Much appreciated Joseph! Thanks for watching👍
This is such a good way to view a guitar solo. Sometimes playing based on triads can be so tasteful! I think a good thing to note is you dont have to stay just on the C box on the fretboard too, hop in some sweet Bb licks on that chord!
Right on bro! I’m glad you liked the lesson! There is a lot more things we can do with the structure of those triads for sure. Thanks a lot for checking out the video.😎
@@rustysguitar1 Yeah man! Id say I'm a fairly good player but even coming back to the basics from time to time helps!
good teaching skills
I appreciate that Paul thanks a lot for checking out the video. Thanks 👍
Sounds amazing. ZZ Top here we come!
I love me some Billy Gibbons guitar! And it sounds like you do also! Thanks a lot for checking out the lesson and have a great week👍
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Rusty ❤😊😊
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching👍
Wonderful solo
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching 👍
Hi Rusty, I just found your channel and I am excited after watching your presentation of a lesson I am impressed. Do you offer any resources besides your UA-cam channel? I am thinking of a workbook going through sequential lessons to learn in logical steps.
I’m glad you found my channel also Wayne! I just have the UA-cam lessons for now. Thanks for checking out the video. Hope to see you soon 👍
nice !!!
Cool! Thanks a lot for watching
good job!
