Simple Trick for Blues Guitar Soloing - How to Follow a Chord Progression!

Hello friends,

welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. One of the hallmarks of an advanced guitar soloist is the ability to play licks that fit melodically over the chord changes. In today's session I've broken down how a simple major pentatonic lick can be altered to accommodate each chord in a standard 12 bar blues in C. We'll get started reviewing our source scale before learning to target chord tones in a 1.4.5 progression. Finally, we'll tackle a complete practice routine that combines rhythm and lead elements. Lets' get started! -Rob

Rob, what is the best way to mute the A and E strings in the different chords?

Thank you for quick reply!! Yay, i can practice this! I started making songs recently, and really enjoying it. Never imagined I could make a song before. Thanks so much for your classes!

Sure, you can play it as a bar chord or use your index finger for the bass note, as shown in the image provided.

Hi, Rob. Very beautiful! I cannot grab C7 with my thumb. My hand is too small for grabbing 6th strin and mute 5th string. What alternative way to play C7 with this melody?

Excellent stuff, keep ‘em coming young man
