For soloing, I recommend first getting comfortable with some basic musical phrasing using just a few notes at a time, which is what my “Soloing for Complete Beginners” course is all about.
After that, master the 2.5 main shapes of the pentatonic scale. Watch that video lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dh8aGffCaI
After that, learn how to apply it in any key, major or minor, with this lesson:
Then learn how to connect those shapes with some other hot spots in the remaining shapes using the 2×2 method lesson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdQUlSmDqhs&t=4s
From there, you can add the remaining notes to make diatonic scales, and of course the blue note, especially for blues! My free PDF above of the pentatonic scales has the blue note included.
Here is a FREE color coded .pdf of the diatonic scales, including the Major and Minor scale and all of the modes: https://powmusic.lpages.co/the-5-shapes-and-7-modes-of-the-major-scale/
All that being said, the #1 method for becoming a proficient improvisor and soloist on guitar is to transcribe music by ear and then take those ideas and make them your own. After you learn something by ear, you then want to understand what it is – what is the context? Then you’ll know when to apply it, and how to expand upon it. If you’re just starting out, you can just learn a few riffs you like, figure out what scale/key/chord etc is associated with the riff (context) and then workshop that riff! Make it your own – use it as a motif, and build a whole solo around it!!

You really do have an amazing way of teaching, synthesizing information, animating…it’s all so good and makes being a patron a privilege.
This is a legit “Aha moment” for me! So simple but effective to add color and interest to solos so it doesnt just sound like pentatonic scale practice
Exceptional!
I dont understand how a minor work in a major chords . Everything depends where you end ? Root notes?
You totally lost me before the first minute. There is no content anywhere on the internet to bridge between knowing basic open cords and whatever you were attempting to explain. I been at this for 30 years.
wow ty so much pow this is incredıble key for me.ty.
Fresh
Helpful!
Awesome
These videos are so good for the way I learn
A brilliant lesson. You have a new devotee.
incredibly helpful video. thanks for sharing.
Great lesson. Thanks. God bless you my friend.
Ditto to all the compliments below. This is GREAT for targeting those 3rds while soling over "changing' chords rather than making random passes within the pentatonic scales. THANKS so much!
You’re so awesome!!!
I can understand this my friend, thanks
I understand one thing, that in good hands any note sounds good… ????
Thank you very much. I was looking for a funny way to start practice jamming. Not easy to find and you got it !
Thx, great lesson
Wonderful lesson! Thanks so much for giving it to us. Great way to add some variation to the good old minor pentatonic – just what I was looking for.
This helped a few thing click for me.
I am just starting to learn this stuff to know how to play over chord changes, after spending like 15yrs just learning solos etc.
I have just started so I knew the trick to "find all the chords in the major". E.g. from the root, up a string (E to A string) for the IV chord, and then up two frets for the V chord.
I knew that the 3rd was in the bar chord shape. for example the middle finger of the bar chord on 6th string is the 3rd.
I realised from looking at your diagram, the 3rd follow the same pattern as the above method of finding the chords.
If you know the 3rd is up one string and down 1 fret from the root, it's the same for the 3rd for the other chords as in up a string for IV chord 3rd, and up two frets for the V chord 3rd. So you can visualise where they are pretty easily.
