my own tricks from watching the likes of Tony iommi: - gaps between notes are just as important as notes - feel and groove still exists in solos - subtly move out of your chord at times, eg change 1 note in a legato run by 1 semitone, or use micro-bends - how does the solo escalate or emphasise the feel of the song?
One of the fascinating things about music is no matter how you start learning, it will connect to all the rest as you move forward. Musical "aha"s are like completing a circle. It all fits together in loops, which are identical to endlessly repeating regular patterns. As you build arcs of knowledge you might not see how it fits together yet, but keep going, because you never know when the next piece is going to link it all together and become a breakthrough.
You're a monster, I mean a really big crazy scary fire-breathing monster! And I mean that in the most complimentary way. Player as well as teacher. I've been scouring your channel tonight after the Part I video came into my suggestions and really blew me away. Part 2 did not disappoint! I've watched so many teachers over the years and been one myself, I'm 54 now and have been playing for over 35 years. But your energy, your humor, cleverness, and just a natural gift for cutting through the mustard and bringing points home has compelled me to comment, and subscribe. I'm not a metal guy and couldn't tie your shoes in the playing department, but it doesn't matter, you're the shit and I appreciate it. I'll be breaking out my axe and applying your knowledge ASAP! Cheers from Toronto. 🤘☮️
Bless you holy H metal man! 🤘🏻 Your genuine interest in furthering student advancement, and understanding how to communicate this gold is remarkable! Ya fkn rock thank you 1000x
Even if I don't have the skill to pull it off on the same level, the sole fact that I understand the theory of what you're explaining opens up a lot of possibilities for me as a guitarist. Now I have to put it into practice lol. But thanks for creating these series.
Really really good video. You really have a way of removing the noise and confusion, and getting down to the practical nuts and bolts of what's useful and how to apply it. These 2 videos have been super helpful for me. Thank you
You gave very good instructions on soloing with chords. I hope you do more on this topic. Thank you very much for sharing. Wishing you and your family peace.
Fantastic video, @beanleyhallsworth! Best guitar lessons on UA-cam. That said, I can't help but wonder how this concept would sound over major chords. What if you took C and F instead of Am and Dm? Any chance of making a similar video with major chords instead of minor chords in "How to Easily Solo Over Chord Changes Like a Pro (Pt3)?
Would be nice to see a Part 3 about bending How to remember all positions where i can use bends? Is it necessary for both start and end point of bend to suit the scale, or you can just roll into the right note or roll out from scale note into some higher note, which isn't in scale? Using of chromatic and when it is appropriate is another great theme too
If the key for the song is A minor and I have a chord progression that includes (for example) D minor, can I play the notes in the D minor scale that are not in the A minor scale whenever the Dm chord is playing? Like, can I use notes outside the scale of the key of the song if the chord playing at the moment "allows" me to do so?
Not in the case of Am-Dm, because this chord change is insanely diatonic and we don't expect to hear any notes outside of A minor scale. But if you have a non-diatonic progression like Am - C#m, you're going to want to play notes from each of the scales depending on the chord. You're gonna be more "free" in that case.
@@beanleyhallsworth Thanks a ton for answering! So in that case, during the whole chord rotation, for it to sound "correct" (in music theory standards) am I limited to the A minor scale only? How "adventurous" can i be using 1 scale? (although I know you can use pentatonic and harmonic minor etc)
@@kursatbakis4169 Thank you so much for answering! That leaves me with another question though, whats the meaning of diatonic and How can a chord change be more diatonic than another one? Am-Dm stays in the Am key but the chord C# minor cannot be found in said key so how could Am-C# m sound good without feeling out of place or changing keys? Maybe I haven't made myself clear enough but my "goal" is to do all this without changing keys (staying in Am) and during chord rotation. Thanks in advance
@@davest_55 Chords that naturally belong to the same key are called diatonic chords. There's no such thing as more diatonic or less diatonic, it is either yes or no. Am-C#m progression already feels out of place and it changes keys, but that's the entire point. If you want to play staying only in A minor key, you will want to choose chords diatonic to that key: Bdim, C, Dm, Em (or E), F, G. For your solo to sound correct, although there's no concept of correct or incorrect in music, you need to play the notes inside the key of A minor. If you want to sound more adventurous, you can choose notes outside of the chord tones (such as playing a B over Dm chord).
You said the 4th scale degree is stable when soloing over a chord, but I always thought that would make the chord suspended and tense I was wondering if you could send me your thoughts on this thanks!
ua-cam.com/video/jh9B9JH7rRE/v-deo.html - That's not clear for me so I'm stuck: if chord changes, will it be correct to use another minor scale to play along it? E.g I play along Am with A-minor scale and then along D-minor (or D7) with D minor scale, not A minor and with root A, right? But I also can remain at A-minor and use A-minor scale patterns when D-minor plays? Could you explain please? Thanks.
So my guitar teacher told me to never rest on the root unless it is the finish of the solo, because it alaways sounds like the solo was over now. Do you care about that?
oh i discovered the same kind of thing using the arpeggio shapes that i learned from all my sweep picking nonsense. edit: oh you say exactly that later in the video
Well, it is sad to see that Bradley has now been replaced with an AI. The programmers made one, simple mistake which gave it all away. Bradley not only said "gotten", which is a big no-no for anyone who actually went to school, but you can also hear the AI glitch as it said it.

That more adventurous solo has some nice Opeth-esque moments. Really great video!!

You know what, this was the most eye opening lesson I've watched in a long time. My brain thanks you for explaining the intervals in this way
You're right, I learnt this recently and had the largest jump in progression I've experienced on the guitar.
I watched the marty friedman lesson, he said that if you know how to play arpeggios, you can't easily get lost in following the chord progression.

This chord playing technique produces really BLOODY ballads! Sounds incredible for me, that's my favourite slow soloing style.
Man please do more of these i love them

Just wanted to say this video super helped me out with writing some recent songs, one of which was probably my best work. Thanks a ton!
The more I know about guitar, the more I seek out more knowledge and I always realize how little I truly know.

As a bass player
Yes.
I really like this channel as it gives guitar lessons for free❤ as I can't afford myself for a music lesson
Great lesson! Thanks!
I needed this so much right now, thank you so much!🤘

Another vídeo of yours that was mind blowing for me here.
Thank you again
great video, we want more
Very nice, thanks!!
thank u sooo much bradley, I learn some new tricks everyday with you !!! U are very talented ;) From France
8:12 forth as very safe ? it sounds like avoid note to me
No beans? Btw you're awesome
Somewhere in the history books must be writen that 'when you play, you have to think as hard as you can'
maertie fritmanksk.
Just a genious
Such a great lesson!! As a beginner this is so helpful!!
Thank you
Thanks!
Great tutorial Beanley 🤟🎸
Keep 'em coming bro these are amazing
Thank you father Bradley 🙏
Bloody insane mate 🙏🏻
Loved this video man! GREAT job.
Cheers man!

If you're in the key of Am but start playing in Dm over the Dm chord then that's a key change, which is probably not the desired effect!

New sub!! This is great info.... Thank you Beanley!!
This guy looks like Marty Friedman
Great video! 🔥
Thanks for the lesson
I feel like you're guitar Jesus and you just got a new disciple.
Very cool, man!
FUCKIN LOVE UR TUTORIALS!
What Kind of cool T-Shirt are you wearing in this Video? Or even better, where can I get one of these?
wait did the name change?
Yeeeah
@@beanleyhallsworth whyyyy
Arpeggios plzzzzz
Thanks !
Does anyone know what guitar is shown in the thumbnail? Thanks!
Wat about first chords progression?
Dude, you're awesome, do you have a video on pedal effects & set ups for metal, thanks.
Killer,cheers.

what are the Dm arpegios tho?
Rust in peace all marty solo tab please 🎸☠
Soon!
You are AWESOME🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟💯

These are really good tbh, and I'm not that smart.
This didn't help I guess I'm just shit at this
