Welcome to Free Guitar Lessons Blog.
It is here that I plan to share guitar lesson videos, backing tracks and other information for some of my favorite songs (and hopefully yours too).
This site is still very much in the developmental stages. Ultimately I plan to offer numerous resources that may be helpful to the guitar player so hopefully you'll check back once and awhile.
To your success. ~Jane

but wait…shouldn’t the fingering for the pentatonic scale be the same all across the fretboard (except for at the lowest part because it incorporates open notes)?
I mean, the distance between each note should still be the same anyway right?

Buy yourself an effects pedal and use distortion effect. You’ll have to work out a little to get that kind of sound. You can find them on the internet. Production companies are Digitech,Line 6,Zoom etc. Hope this is what the answer is that you’re looking for.

anything in music is made by Scales
Any song is made of scales, no matter what part.

13 rombomb420 // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Spend a lot of money on a vintage GIBSON (NOT EPIPHONE!) Les Paul like this guy has & a nice tube amp with 12ax7 tubes like a Marshall. The only way you get that nice crunch like that is from a real tube amp.

Solos are made from scales, arpeggios, chords, percussion, passing tones, silence, ornaments like turns and grace notes etc.
Solos are created in the IMAGINATION.
If your solo is constructed using only the musical alphabet ie, scales, it is likely to sound like a trumpet exercise.
15 AustinDangerYoung // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
if your referring to the distortion (the electric quality of the sound) there should be a button or switch on your amp, if you have an electric or electric acoustic.
16 ADBproductions // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
pickups pedals and amps
17 benzlovely86 // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm

21 dan1lo1986 // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
but they’re mostly based on scales
22 brakkum // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
A. grammar
B. learn to make your own solos, it is a priceless tool.
23 hartsview // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Classic rock solos are derived frome those scales. its the skelaton for the solos.If you mix the notes from those scales and add vibrato,string bending and other teqniques,youll have a decent solo.Try it before you judge.
24 NerfBoy101 // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
is that a 59′ les paul
25 jamagica // Mar 9, 2009 at 5:01 pm
it’s the scale you use for a solo..instead of scrounging through here looking for licks you should try making stuff on your own
