Finally it clicked when I learned this - targeting on guitar

Publicado 2024-07-27
Each step of the pentatonic scale has a different personality. A different color, so to speak. And what if you know you want a certain sound at a particular moment in a solo? You’d have to know where that scale degree is in relation to the chord. Certain tones are featured by certain guitar players – each with their own affinity for either roots, or thirds, or 7ths -- tones that at some point became “their style, their sound.” There’s a method for guitar, we call it targeting.

    Many have said this on other videos…but you are an AMAZING teacher. Have to get sunglasses because so many lightbulbs just went off! Thanks!
  • Great lesson on how to recognize notes on a chord by ear. I like the 5th when moving to another chord . Do more of these challenges to train our ears
  • After 28+ yrs, it amazes me the things im still learning!❤ You & paul David's are my favorite out there! Ty my friend
  • Another great lesson Blue. The call and response is such a nice way of making a solo interesting, and personally the moody minor 3rd is my goto, but great to mix it up with the others.
  • Thanks Blue! Awesome books by the way!
  • First time watcher, thank you for giving me something small and specific to focus on! I’m so glad YouTube recommended this video! Love this format! SUBSCRIBED! ✌️😃🎸
  • Hi Blue! What can I say?! Sheer brilliance! Very incisive analogy of artist to get this concept across. I humbly concede my efforts to solo have taken on a steady upward trajectory since I per chance trolled upon your channel. I've tried copying the way you dance around, using 16th note triplets, double stops, crossovers with middle finger etc, to get to target note. Therein, also lies the 'taste' for want of a better word. Seriously considering subscribing. You go Blue!!!

    I am almost at this point in terms of execution. The timing(for me) for hearing the lesson and concepts feels perfect though. Sometimes you are exposed to things at the wrong time. This feels, emotionally, like the answer to every question I have ever had about soloing. I know that's hyperbolic. I am just saying that I really value what you are presenting. The way in which it's presented is very strong also. So- Thanks. You are good at stuff.
  • I have to remodel my house! You keep kicking my doors down! Thanks from a 73 year old student!

    Another brilliant lesson. How do you do this for major scales though?
