## Lessons

- [Literary Devices Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/literary-devices-lesson-video/) - Today we are going to borrow some terms from the writer’s toolbox to inspire how we construct our narratives in our solos. This is abstract, you can interpret these however you want and implement them with freedom. These aren’t rules, these are merely nuggets to inspire and there is no right or wrong way to

- [Colour Control Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/colour-control-lesson-video/)
- [The Shape of A Solo Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/the-shape-of-a-solo-lesson-video/)
- [The Art of Misdirection Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/the-art-of-misdirection-lesson-video/)
- [Contrast Soloing Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/contrast-soloing-lesson-video/) - Today we are talking about a really simple concept that will allow you to maintain interest and create depth in your solo. It's a very commonly stated belief that music is about tension and release. You'll hear this in countless interview with many famous musicians talking about their approaches to harmony, melody and soloing. Then
- [Controlling Your Urges Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/controlling-your-urges-lesson-video/) - NOTE: In the video I over exaggerate how long you should wait when you deny an urge so that you can see it happening. in reality you might just be waiting an extra 1/32nd note before coming in. This is a super simple exercise to help you phrase differently, especially if you feel you over
- [Editing and Deletion Lesson VIdeo](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/editing-and-deletion-lesson-video/)
- [Scripting Lesson VIdeo](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/scripting-lesson-video/) - This is another exerciset that I first came across during my time at Leeds College of music. This is a great exercise/practice tool as well as something you can use when writing or structuring a solo. The exercise is simple; Draw out a chord chart of the tune. If the tune is just a chord
- [Motivic Development Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/motivic-development-lesson-video/)
- [Contouring Your Lines Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/contouring-your-lines-lesson-video/) - Three steps to developing your melodic sense - Pick a backing track or set of changesPick a contourPractice it for hours! Take a contour like Up Up Down, or Down Up Down, and work it till it becomes within your subconscious reach!
- [Limitation Games Lesson Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/limitation-games-lesson-video/) - NOTE: Some things I talk about require theoretical knowledge… if they don’t make sense, just take the ideas you can implement. There is no theoretical barrier to do 90% of the exercises. Here’s the list I talk through, if you come up with any of your own limitations then share them in the facebook group,
- [Chaptering Lesson](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/chaptering-video/) - Chaptering is a very useful phrasing technique that I guarantee you will have heard in some of your favourite solos. Chaptering has helped me countless times on function gigs as well as pop, rock and metal sessions. It's especially helpful in situations where you have a set length of time to solo eg. 16 bars.
- [The Two-Track Mind Video](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/the-two-track-mind-video/)
- [The One-Track Mind Lesson](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/the-two-track-mind-lesson-video/) - If you could only thing about one thing when you improvise, what would it be? Scales? Harmony? Licks? If we were to cut out all the fluff in our thinking and boil it down to just one thing, what should that thing be? My mind was blown about 7 years ago when I studied with

The Five 2 Notes-Per-String Shapes The Five 3-1 Shapes The Five 1-3 Positions
- [2 Note Patterns](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/2-note-patterns/) - 2 Note Patterns are the easiest to play in isolation, but the hardest to play at speed. They don't serve much of a melodic purpose in isolation but when used tactically to break up 3,4 and 5 note groupings they suddenly become a powerful tool for rhythmic displacement and direction changes. 2 note patterns can
- [3 Note Patterns](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/3-noted-patterns/) - There are 4 layout options for playing a group of three notes: 3, 2-1, 1-2, 1-1-1 Here they are. Decending patterns are demonstrated from the high E and ascending patterns from the low E. Memorise the starting pickstrokes for the patterns that have them notated. If pickstrokes are not notated then either direction will work.
- [4 Note Patterns](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/4-note-patterns/) - There are 5 layout options for playing a group of FOUR notes: 3-1, 2-2, 1-3, 2-1-1, 1-1-2 Here they are. Decending patterns are demonstrated from the high E and ascending patterns from the low E. Memorise the starting pickstrokes for the patterns that have them notated. If pickstrokes are not notated then either direction will
- [The Concept Explained](https://guitarvivo.com/lessons/the-concept-explained/) - The concept is fairly simple: We want to be able to freely combine any number note grouping, in any direction, at will using patterns that fall under the fingers easily and support economy picking. We are going to strategically use combinations of 1, 2 and 3 note-per-string placements to allow us to avoid alternate picking

- [Ascensions](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/playing-over-changes-101-essential-scale-exercises/chord-scale-practice/) - NOTE: THIS EXERCISE SHOULD BE PRACTICED FOR MONTHS TO MASTER IT The idea here is simple... Go to the Root of each chord and ascend the 7 notes of the relevant scale. Master this in as many keys as you can and then start applying it to blues progressions etc. Here's the basic pattern.
- [Flow Exercises](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/playing-over-changes-101-essential-scale-exercises/flow-exercises/) - This exercises has only two rules - Only change direction when you have reached the highest or lowest note in the scale Always know what Scale degree you're on This is combining the last exercise with the freedom of the whole fretboard, I like to practice this on the blues, rhythm changes, giant steps, moments

- [Intro and Dominant Scale of Chords](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/scale-of-chords-funk-edition/intro-and-dominant-scale-of-chords/) - Don’t worry if you haven’t heard the term “Scale of Chords” before, I’m not sure how well known the phrase is. I learnt the phrase from legendary Jazz Pianist Barry Harris, however, I first came across the idea in Don Mock’s instruction video; The Blues from Rock to Jazz. Barry’s approach is slightly different to

- [The Dorian Pentatonic](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/uncommon-blues-pentatonics/the-dorian-pentatonic/) - If you don't understand the first minute of the video, do not worry. The basic principle is that C7 comes from the Key of F Major. The chords in the key of f major are 1 = F Maj7, 2= G minor7, 3= A minor7, 4=BbMaj7, 5 = C7, 6 = D minor 7 ,
- [The Dominant Pentatonic](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/uncommon-blues-pentatonics/the-dominant-pentatonic/) - This Scale can be thought of as a couple of different things: A dominant 9th Arpeggio A Major Pentatonic scale with the 6th swapped for a b7 Let's look at it side by side with the Major Pentatonic Major Pent. - 1 2 3 5 6 Dom Pent. - 1 2 3
- [The Altered Pentatonic](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/uncommon-blues-pentatonics/the-altered-pentatonic/) - This scale is great for a lot of reasons! Firstly, It introduces the idea of super imposing scales; We are playing a scale that doesn't contain the root of the chord. This is a great observation as maybe it will inspire you to try this in other contexts. The second reason is that it uses
- [Thinking Long Term](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/ideas-for-chromaticising-scales/thinking-long-term/) - This last concept that I practice is essentially a whole bar of chromatics, hence the name. The way to think about it - We are playing 8th notes, so there are 8 notes in a bar the first 6 notes of the run will be the chromatic scale in order the last two will be
- [Thinking in 3rds](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/ideas-for-chromaticising-scales/thinking-in-3rd/) - The next idea I use when improvising and practicing chromaticising Is connecting thirds, Connecting a note chromatically to the note in the scale the note names higher. For example connect C to E. This is basically the next degree in the scale after the 2nd, so it's just one note removed. In all of our
- [Thinking in 2nds](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/ideas-for-chromaticising-scales/thinking-in-2nds/) - A 2nd is the interval between any 2 ADJACENT scale degrees. This lesson is on adding chromaticism between and around adjacent scale degrees This first method of chromaticising is simply adding chromatics between every scale degree. It sounds simple but there's a couple of things to think about... What stops this from just being

- [Shape Shifting](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/how-i-built-my-sweep-picking/moving-shapes-chromatically/) - This is actually the easiest exercise theoretically. Ascend a shape, move the shape up a fret and descend, move it up and ascend etc. This will help technique, ear training and fretboard knowledge. Here's how to make it more effective; Hum the root of the arpeggio and transpose your hum as you shift up Always
- [Bricks 2 & 3 - The Springbacks](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/10-essential-blues-bricks/bricks-2-3-the-springbacks/) - When I introduce someone to the idea of Blues Bricks, I always teach bricks 1,2 and 3 together because they so seamlessly fit.

- [Brick 7 - Outlining the IV](https://guitarvivo.com/custom-course-slug/10-essential-blues-bricks/brick-7-outlining-the-iv/) - So this lick will take place in bar 5 of the blues, In this bar the chord changes from E7 to A7, instead of changing scale, we are just going to outline the notes of A7 that are in our E minor pentatonic scale. So buy using the notes common to both scales, we outline
