I think this turned out pretty well, or what you say?

There is also Soundslice available for this solo.
This is a free lesson, a kind of "feeler" lesson. The plan is to do more solo lessons like this, in different keys and styles, so that you can develop a more melodic sense of playing, than just playing the pentatonic scale. Nothing wrong with that scale, but I'm sure you want to be able to use more tools than only the minor pentatonic.
Cool Lesson, Robert! Comfortably Numb comes to mind. Looking forward to more of that..Will
Great material! Very melodic. I like how clearly you can "hear" the chords even without the strumming from the backing track.
Great lesson Robert. Will make an excellent series of videos on melodic phrasing and ear training.
I just added a chord chart for this track here - https://app.box.com/s/30rwdi6fy5aa61xnmjv454sxa3c8lswi
I would like to hear more of you guys use this approach. Try this:
Take this track, and simply try to play 1-3-5 of each chord, using 1/8 notes perhaps. You can find 1-3-5 for a chord in several ways; 1 note per string, two notes on one string and one note on the next and vice versa, or even 3 notes on one string. Use this approach to make your brain KNOW where these chord tones are. That's it! Let's hear it! 🙂
The Glove has been thrown across the membership of MGA, and it sounds like a good learning challenge.
Robert, a few questions: Chord tones C-CEG/G-GBD/ Dm- DFA/F-FAC,etc. The solo spans # patterns of C Major scale, and chord tones can played in any order while cord is being played. Yes? Also is a flat third played instead of a M3 in the minor chords. Probably thinking too much about it, but it would be cool to get this right from the beginning...Will
Yes, you can play chord tones in any order you want - it's all about phrasing and creating melodies.
Yes, a minor third is always necessary for minor chords. Major chord have a major third.
