Great lesson! You are a great teacher Eric. You show a simple but powerful concept that the student can actually use. Most YT guitar teachers just rip up and down the neck and the student doesn't learn anything.

I was in a similar spot as a teenager, loving music, loving guitar but, not having anyone around that could really teach me in any way. I took a couple lessons with different teachers but somehow they didn't speak to me. I loved music so much though, and electric guitars that I ended up being the drummer in my first band ever because I had an afterschool job and I just needed to be close to that beautiful instrument. 3 years later, endless hours of lessons later, and I went to University for music, focusing on drums. After 4 years of university I got a job professionally and got to travel the world for the last 4 years playing on cruise ships and just loving my life in music. I've never stopped playing guitar occasionally but you've been a wonderful resource recently, helping me learn to play the funky 16th note stuff I've fallen in love with from the disco era-now. Thank you so, so much.

I got my first guitar at 14 years old and it was a cheap one with a built in amp. Everyone laughed at me and wouldn't teach me. They were just too cool. I've learned more from your channel over the last couple of months then in my whole life. I was a metal head and had electric guitars but now I'm just happy strumming chords on an acoustic. Thanks Eric! I really do appreciate you Sir.
Eric, you gotta be the best teacher out there! I learned building blocks of power cords and soloing fom you in just over 10 minutes in a way that I can start using right away. Thank you!

I keep coming back to your videos time and again because learning how to play well really is as easy as you make it look. You've been given a wonderful gift for teaching, Eric.
You really make the ability to have early fun with the guitar accessible to beginners and novices. That's very kind of you. (And as a drummer learning guitar, thanks for giving some to the drummer. We got your back! Haha)
3 months into teaching myself. This should be THE power chord lesson every noob should watch first to get a better understanding of how it all goes together with a solo that sounds like it fits whats being played. Subbed and thanks man.

I got a light switch moment. So just learn the notes of the E string to navigate up and down the fingerboard. Works playing open cords with a capo and playing lead lines. Big help. Why guitar teachers don't show this? I think they want to stretch out the lessons for more money.
You got that right my friend. I was with a guitar teacher for a year and learned absolutely nothing except that I had to make that monthly payment on time lol!

Great segment Eric, at 13 l was too shy to talk to girls so l new playing guitar would talk for me. It saved me. I learned stuff like "wipe out" and house of the rising sun, midnight hour. I played what l called organized noise and do to this day. Even real guitarists like yourself l can fool into believing l know what lm doing but l don't. Not even close. Since following your lessons lm finally getting some structure and purpose to my playing. Just finished "good bye pork pie hat" by Jeff Beck. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Eric, I have never seen or heard that you could use 1 to 3 in the box, the way you just did in these three examples. You have just expanded my playing immensely fantastic bro

Love your story. I'm self taught. My son is self taught and far better than I ever will be. I was the single mom too busy working for the man. I'm done with the man. My turn to jam!!! I'm not done yet!!!😎
We are all self taught. We may get ideas from players of teachers, but we are the ones who must apply it. I learned a long time ago to never take credit for what my students learn. Just to be proud of them for making the effort. Keep on pushin' MJ!
Great tips Eric. Love the straight forward way you instruct. I've had a guitar for many years and didn't know how to play it, now, you've inspired me to get it out and start again.

Damn, as long as I've started learning guitar on my own i've been thinking quite a lot that solos require some sofisticated music theory. I don't know almost anything after 2 years of playing except chords and pentatonic scale. You've showed us how to manage using basic theory combined with a little bit of imagination and some manual skills. Thank you for your lessons !

I was in the same situation. So I purchased a little booklet of Italian composers' sheet and got the library to request a record of one of their works from the resource library. I worked it out from there. I could play Turkish March before in time before I learned about chords as such.

Same here Eric I had no teacher either. Picked up a lot of bad habits that took some time to overcome. I probably still have a few of them . Thanks for the lesson :-)
Hey Patriot! I picked up a lot of bad habits too, but I NEVER found a teacher that did any better. You just keep working at it until you find what works, and sometimes you find that the bad habits ain't so bad. Just UNIQUE. Thanks for watching man!

Eric, if you would tab out your example solos, like at the 5:56 point, even for 30 seconds or so, I'd be willing to pay for the pdf. I'm sure others would, too. Love the lesson. Some guitar teachers on youtube are great guitarists but can't teach. Some guitar teachers are great teachers but don't play so well. Eric is a great player and a great teacher.
Hi Retro! When I play the solos in my demonstrations, I make them up as I go, so in order to tab them out, I would have to memorize them, then tab them out, which consumes a lot of time, which is just not available. I have had a lot of UA-camrs offer me money for projects, but I have to turn them all down, because I would take me away from my already crowded job schedule. Sorry about that.
Eric, thanks for the reply. Yep, I fully understand. I'm tabbing it out myself, very slowly, at .25 and .5 speed. Those same fret string jumps are very cool and really give the solo some feeling. Good stuff!

I'm a really senior beginner and watching you video was very informative. My question is how do you know where to move on the fretboard for the power cord that corresponds to the major or minor chord being played. For example how do you figure out that an A major power chord would start on the 10th fret of the low E string and which other fingers belong where on what fret. How do I figure that kind of things out? Thanks for your help

Same here Eric. When I started there was no UA-cam, no internet, no nothing. You got the album and you were on your own. I used to by two of the same albums for the songs we were doing. One to listen to and one to pick up the songs from because when you got done moving the needle back and forth countless number of times the albums were shot, And don't forget putting the turntable on 16 to slow the fast leads down. lol Miss those days though.

Promise. I was 10 years old and knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about chords or scales. I went totally by what I heard using trial and error. In fact, I played that way for years in many bands. I did not know the name of hardly any chords that I played until I was past 25 years old. At the age of 50, I started studying theory without a teacher, and here I am! Thanks for watching my channel!

Another amazing lesson from Eric! I’ve seen other people’s lesson where they show that 3 fret box, but they didn’t add the power chord or the minor chord into the solo like Eric does, and they don’t sound nearly as good either. Eric’s approach to teaching makes playing like this within our grasp. Overall this is an excellent and very motivating video.
This just popped up on my feed and man am I glad it did ! .. This is some great stuff to add to my bag and the soloing part goes along with what I've been doing recently already . Thanks Eric for sharing this with us :0) .... Definite new sub and will be scrolling through your videos to glean more of your style !

I got my first guitar at 14 years old and it was a cheap one with a built in amp. Everyone laughed at me and wouldn't teach me. They were just too cool. I've learned more from your channel over the last couple of months then in my whole life. I was a metal head and had electric guitars but now I'm just happy strumming chords on an acoustic. Thanks Eric! I really do appreciate you Sir.
You are welcome my friend! I had the same problem. No one would teach me, so I decided to do it myself. And here I am! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos. Your no nonsense teaching style. Straight forward,easy to follow. You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you
Thanks Danny!
Eric, you gotta be the best teacher out there! I learned building blocks of power cords and soloing fom you in just over 10 minutes in a way that I can start using right away. Thank you!

I keep coming back to your videos time and again because learning how to play well really is as easy as you make it look. You've been given a wonderful gift for teaching, Eric.
Thanks for the kind words Dave, and thanks for watching! More to come!
You really make the ability to have early fun with the guitar accessible to beginners and novices. That's very kind of you. (And as a drummer learning guitar, thanks for giving some to the drummer. We got your back! Haha)
Thanks H! You rock!
Eric you did a similar lesson about 18 months ago and I knew zip about guitar. Now I'm in a band.. Thanks dude. You're a star.
Awesome! Good job!
3 months into teaching myself. This should be THE power chord lesson every noob should watch first to get a better understanding of how it all goes together with a solo that sounds like it fits whats being played. Subbed and thanks man.

That's right man! If you can play it at fret 5 and fret 12 with ease, you have found yourself a player LOL! Thanks for watching Tom!

@@EricBlackmonGuitar do you have more instructional videos like these to learn the basics and new skills?
I got a light switch moment. So just learn the notes of the E string to navigate up and down the fingerboard. Works playing open cords with a capo and playing lead lines. Big help. Why guitar teachers don't show this? I think they want to stretch out the lessons for more money.
You got that right my friend. I was with a guitar teacher for a year and learned absolutely nothing except that I had to make that monthly payment on time lol! More from EricBlackmonGuitar ua-cam.com/video/1MGLpPJ49dY/v-deo.html

Great segment Eric, at 13 l was too shy to talk to girls so l new playing guitar would talk for me. It saved me. I learned stuff like "wipe out" and house of the rising sun, midnight hour. I played what l called organized noise and do to this day. Even real guitarists like yourself l can fool into believing l know what lm doing but l don't. Not even close. Since following your lessons lm finally getting some structure and purpose to my playing. Just finished "good bye pork pie hat" by Jeff Beck. Thanks for all your inspiration.
I did the same thing! When I heard all those girls screaming for the Beatles, I knew right away what I wanted to do with my life lol!
Eric, I have never seen or heard that you could use 1 to 3 in the box, the way you just did in these three examples. You have just expanded my playing immensely fantastic bro

We are all self taught. We may get ideas from players of teachers, but we are the ones who must apply it. I learned a long time ago to never take credit for what my students learn. Just to be proud of them for making the effort. Keep on pushin' MJ!
Great tips Eric. Love the straight forward way you instruct. I've had a guitar for many years and didn't know how to play it, now, you've inspired me to get it out and start again.

Damn, as long as I've started learning guitar on my own i've been thinking quite a lot that solos require some sofisticated music theory. I don't know almost anything after 2 years of playing except chords and pentatonic scale. You've showed us how to manage using basic theory combined with a little bit of imagination and some manual skills. Thank you for your lessons !

I was in the same situation. So I purchased a little booklet of Italian composers' sheet and got the library to request a record of one of their works from the resource library.
I worked it out from there.
I could play Turkish March before in time before I learned about chords as such.

EricBlackmonGuitar yeah I’m really enjoying this friend thanks for breaking things down your AWESOME!!!!!!
Eric, if you would tab out your example solos, like at the 5:56 point, even for 30 seconds or so, I'd be willing to pay for the pdf. I'm sure others would, too. Love the lesson. Some guitar teachers on youtube are great guitarists but can't teach. Some guitar teachers are great teachers but don't play so well. Eric is a great player and a great teacher.
Hi Retro! When I play the solos in my demonstrations, I make them up as I go, so in order to tab them out, I would have to memorize them, then tab them out, which consumes a lot of time, which is just not available. I have had a lot of UA-camrs offer me money for projects, but I have to turn them all down, because I would take me away from my already crowded job schedule. Sorry about that.
Eric, thanks for the reply. Yep, I fully understand. I'm tabbing it out myself, very slowly, at .25 and .5 speed. Those same fret string jumps are very cool and really give the solo some feeling. Good stuff!
Just like the other guy. Been playing awhile and this lesson really opened my eyes. Thanks and yes I'm going to your link, rock on

I'm a really senior beginner and watching you video was very informative. My question is how do you know where to move on the fretboard for the power cord that corresponds to the major or minor chord being played. For example how do you figure out that an A major power chord would start on the 10th fret of the low E string and which other fingers belong where on what fret. How do I figure that kind of things out? Thanks for your help

Awesome! You are welcome! Thanks for watching my channel! MORE from EricBlackmonGuitar ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk6sM_RApksb8cpgxVWxklqJ.html
Same here Eric. When I started there was no UA-cam, no internet, no nothing. You got the album and you were on your own. I used to by two of the same albums for the songs we were doing. One to listen to and one to pick up the songs from because when you got done moving the needle back and forth countless number of times the albums were shot, And don't forget putting the turntable on 16 to slow the fast leads down. lol Miss those days though.
Man, me too! That is the stuff that made real players out of us LOL! Thanks for watching! More from EricBlackmonMusic! ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk6sM_RApksb8cpgxVWxklqJ.html
Exactly right. The hard way.
Mr. Blackmon you have done it again!
You have taken a subject that has totally confused me and make it so understandable! Thank you!
That is awesome Sean! Keep rockin' my friend! Glad that you like it! Thanks so much for watching my friend! More Guitar Solo Lesson tutorials! ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk7CJlTNU41V4C3cSOFAeRoy.html
This guy is amazing; one of the best teachers on UA-cam.
Thanks so much my friend! Thanks for watching! MORE from EricBlackmonMusic! ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk6sM_RApksb8cpgxVWxklqJ.html
Thanks for this, I learn something every time I watch one of your videos!
My hats off to you for learning the way you did. Some people just don't realize how good they got it with having UA-cam at their fingertips. If it wasn't for UA-cam, I probably would have already given up the guitar. Thanks again!
You are welcome! And you are right. Now that we have UA-cam, we should milk it for all it is worth LOL! Thanks for checking out my stuff! More from EricBlackmonMusic! ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk6sM_RApksb8cpgxVWxklqJ.html
I’ve been at this for many years and this is the best video I’ve ever seen on soloing
That is very nice of you Paul! Please check out my Guitar Solo Class UA-cam Playlist when you get a chance! ua-cam.com/play/PLHdKL0zeGNk5BCJETeLNfh55evqT6SnlL.html
Thanks a lot for this video... I'm not sure if you have done It already, but if not, a vídeo doing something similar with a typical chord progression, rock for instance, would be great... Maybe chord tone, or maybe just the same idea but over a chord progression... Again, thanks a lot for sharing this...
Thanks so much for watching!

You might not have had any idea of how to play the guitar, but seems you knew a little bit about chords and scales! Thanks again for the cool tips!
Promise. I was 10 years old and knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about chords or scales. I went totally by what I heard using trial and error. In fact, I played that way for years in many bands. I did not know the name of hardly any chords that I played until I was past 25 years old. At the age of 50, I started studying theory without a teacher, and here I am! Thanks for watching my channel!

Another amazing lesson from Eric! I’ve seen other people’s lesson where they show that 3 fret box, but they didn’t add the power chord or the minor chord into the solo like Eric does, and they don’t sound nearly as good either. Eric’s approach to teaching makes playing like this within our grasp. Overall this is an excellent and very motivating video.
Thanks Thurston! Thanks so much for watching! MORE to come!
This just popped up on my feed and man am I glad it did ! .. This is some great stuff to add to my bag and the soloing part goes along with what I've been doing recently already . Thanks Eric for sharing this with us :0) .... Definite new sub and will be scrolling through your videos to glean more of your style !
