Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another blues lead guitar tutorial. In today's session we'll learn how to wrap up a blues solo in style using three classic turnaround licks built from the major pentatonic and minor blues scales. Together we'll jam in the key of Bb, however these techniques can be moved fret to fret for soloing across all 12 keys. Let's get started! -Rob
Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another blues guitar tutorial. In today's session we'll learn to think like a pro-soloist as we explore something I call "the three pillars of lead guitar" - in order to play with intention, and craft phrases that are tailor fitted to specific chord changes, we'll need to visualize CAGED chord positions, arpeggios, and overlapping scale patterns. With those elements in mind, we'll be able to establish rhyme and reason behind classic phrases, as we master a complete guitar solo over the blues classic "Key to the Highway." Let's get started!
For the aspiring lead players,
The pentatonic scale is the premier soloing box used in blues and rock music. From Robert Johnson to John Mayer, and everyone in between, these five tones have been used to craft popular music’s most iconic riffs and solos. In today’s lesson, we’ll take a deeper look at minor pentatonic boxes, and learn how they connect to the powerful CAGED system. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be able to replicate your favorite artist, and navigate the fretboard without fear of getting lost. Let’s get started! -Rob
Hello friends,
And welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today’s session I’ll be showing you how to solo in the G position of the minor pentatonic scale. We’ll begin by reviewing this useful scale pattern and it’s intervals before tackling a tasteful double stop lick and how it can be applied to each chord in a blues progression. Let’s get started!

Hello friends,
and welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial! In today's session I'll be breaking down the concept of "stacking," a simple, but powerful technique used by virtually every professional level guitarist. We'll begin by learning a minor pentatonic stacking exercise, before tackling a blues/rock lick that employs this technique. Let's get started!
