There’s nothing like having the musical freedom to improvise your own guitar solos. Guitar heroes like John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Jimi Hendrix and countless others have used this skill to play some of the most memorable guitar solos of all time. In part one of this lesson series, I want to show you how to get started. This isn’t a typical blues soloing lesson where you only know how to play over one progression — I’ll be giving you the tools to be able to solo over any song from just about any genre. We’ll even be using a song you already know to learn, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” by John Mayer. Even a beginner guitarist should have no problem following along. Enjoy the video, and let me know if you have any questions!
