Being able to make up your own guitar solos is one of the most fun things to do with your instrument. Trying to get started, on the other hand, certainly causes a lot of confusion and frustration for many people.

To help my students understand their scales better, and how they can use them to create their own solos, a series of lessons was put together to show examples of what you can do with different scale shapes to create their own solos.

Originally, these lessons were recorded in their Video Recaps (something all students receive to help them get the most out of their lessons). Because of that, these lessons are unscripted, and very much off-the-cuff. The only thing pre-planned is the music being demonstrated, and the Guitar Pro files that contain the backing tracks for you to use.

Below is a list of lessons to help get you started with improvisation, and will continue to grow over time. Clicking on each link will take you to a FREE Patreon post containing the Video Lesson, Guitar Pro tab, and scale info pertaining to each lesson.
