Introduction
In this FREE Lesson (excerpt from Guitar Solos Made Easy: Breaking Free Module), I will share with you how to add chromatic notes into your playing.
I used to think that this was really difficult and required a lot of theory knowledge, but then I discovered two simple approaches that really helped me!
By using the chromatic notes as passing tones and landing on "safe" notes either from the pentatonic scale or on the chord tones, I can create really interesting lines that will always resolve nicely.
Check it out for yourself!
