Why Your Solos Sound Like Scales (Part 2)

If your solos sound like scales, this is the fix. How to make pentatonic scales sound melodic by targeting chord tones with the CAGED system - Level 3 lesson for adult guitar players. This is Part 2 of Why Your Solos Sound Like Scales. In Part 1 we covered the 3 mistakes that make solos sound scaley. Here we fix it by aligning your pentatonic scales with the actual chords underneath, so every note sounds intentional and melodic.🎸 IN THIS LESSON: We play through a simple Level 3 melodic solo over an E - A - B progression and break it down note-by-note. You'll learn the 2 new CAGED shapes that connect to Part 1, which pentatonic positions fit each shape, and how to stop thinking "what key am I in?" and start thinking "what chord am I on?" Includes a quick recap exercise + how to use the Chord Tracker to build your own solo.
