Part 4 – Basic Chords

Yes! Videos. That's the purpose of getting feedback here.

I will indeed be making videos. But please be more specific on what exactly you want extra help with. Just saying make videos is somewhat vague.

But in fact, there are some videos you can download. Hope this is sorta what you are looking for.

You will read more about these videos in part 7 of Guitar Chord Secrets.

Hey Jim,

That's not really a question about Part 4 of GCS.

But anyway, BIG subject.

Generally, playing lead is the same for both electric and acoustic guitar. You do it the same for both. So you don't really need to distinguish between the two.

There are several approaches to playing lead. The pentatonic scale approach is probably the easiest to start with.

Then you have the concept of using the scale for the key you are in.

Then there's the idea of using chord tones as the basis for your note choices.

This is something I go into in detail in my Fretboard Domination membership.

But hey, you have given me a great idea for an article. I will write one and put it up on Free Guitar Chords.

As for recommending something on the internet, (apart from FD), I don't really know, I haven't done any research on that. Most of what I have seen is either pretty crappy or too advanced for beginner lead guitar playing.

And most beginners try to play solos way beyond their ability. They fail, of course, and that can also become pretty discouraging.

Sorry I can't be more help. But it is a BIG question.

Or, perhaps you may like to start off with learning blues soloing. That's a good way to progress. The 'blues' is at the heart of a lot of music. (Uses pentatonics a lot.)

This is a good course you may like to check out.
