If you’re stuck with just playing pentatonic scales when soloing on slide guitar, this lesson is for you 🙂

Without learning any new scales, we’ll learn how you can add to what you already know and give your soloing a lot more authority.

The SECRET is to learn to use chord tones to outline the chord progression you’re playing over.

We’ll dive deep into this subject and the great news is that, yes, I’m demonstrating using slide guitar in Open E tuning, but the concepts I’m talking about here apply to ANY tuning, and conventional guitar (or in fact any other instrument!) as much as slide guitar.
