CAGED Soloing | 07

C Shape | V of vi

For some of you, this might be the first time you have had to consider two different scales while you solo. This kind of thing is usually associated with jazz music, where you're often using a different scale for each chord. If you're a little fuzzy on the concept of secondary dominant chords, I recommend brushing up on those as well.Here is a link to the specific lesson about V of __ chords.

Also, if you've made it this far into CAGED Soloing, here is an important thing to remember: These concepts take time to learn, but each progression and shape will not take the same amount of time. In other words, as you work through these progressions with mindfulness and thoughtfulness, you'll notice that it gets easier to learn the next progression and the next shape. Things will start clicking faster.

The Jam Track for this lesson is in the Key of G Major. You can find the video version of it right here. You can also download an mp3 version of it in the attachments section at the bottom of this post. If this mp3 version of the jam track is a game changer for anyone, I am planning on continuing this trend in future videos AND I'll go back through all the previous tracks and create mp3 versions of previous jam tracks as well. Let me know in the comments if that would help you out.
