Guitar Lessons – Sweet Notes – Bm7 EDA – Rock Progression

Well, of course we have those notes on our guitars — we just need to learn how to play the right notes, at the right time. Sweet Notes to the rescue! Robbie’s developed his Sweet Notes approach over many years of study and application on the stage and in the studio. “The essence of the Sweet Notes approach is the chord/scale relationship and knowing which notes to target as resolution points when we are soloing. For example; playing a G major scale (G, A, B, C, D, E and F#) over a G chord is really solid advice but then why do the A, C, E and F# notes sound weak when we end a run on them? Because they are not as strong as the notes that make up the G chord itself (G – B — D), which are the ideal resolution points for lines within an improvisation.” Robbie’s definition of a ’sweet note’ is a note that is found both in the scale being played, and also in the chord that the scale is being played over (AKA chord tones or arpeggios).

I really Rob’s playing style in the beginning of the video.
Does Rob have intermediate to expert lessons to illustrate techniques to get that momentum and phrasing for effective soloing?

I am a intermediate guitarist who has been playing about 5 years. These are by far the best lessons on youtube for where im at on the guitar. I think your concepts are spot on in the form you teach them. You blow nextlevelguitar, dolphinstreet, etc out of the water! l

I just lay down the chords with the loop pedal and take off…rock on
