Truefire – Jeff McErlain’s Essentials: Chord Tone Soloing

One of the most important improvisational skills is learning how to play over chord changes. This can be very confusing and frustrating for guitarists because there are so many different approaches, some of which are very technical and theoretical. Even some simple three chord songs can be challenging to solo over melodically. One of the easiest ways to overcome this challenge is revealed here in this Chord Tone Soloing edition of Essentials from Jeff McErlain.

“This is probably the best course ever on TrueFire. Love the way Jeff shares his very own “ah-ha” moments.” – Ken Keyes, TrueFire Student

”What is chord tone soloing? The simplest definition I can give you is playing the notes of a chord while you’re on that chord. As guitar players, we often play “over” the chords, meaning we’re playing the proper scale for the progression, but we’re not considering each chord as it goes by. Chord tone soloing is the opposite, as we’re playing “on” the chord changes. We can treat each chord as its own thing requiring us to play or resolve to the specific notes of that chord.”

For each of the 10 Chord Tone Soloing studies featured in this course, Jeff will first perform the solo over the jam track in its entirety, and then break it down for you note-by-note emphasizing the essential techniques and concepts in play. All of the solos were constructed using the chord tone soloing approach, and all are played over commonly encountered rock, pop, soul and blues progressions in a variety of keys and styles.
