I’ve been trying to teach myself how to solo over chord tones/make the changes in the blues and after watching probably 1000 hours on the subject, I’m more confused than ever and even feeling a bit hopeless. I understand you need to know the major thirds, arpeggios, and roots of each chord which I do. I’ve learned modes, hybrid scales, and just simply tried listening to hours of blues and just playing, but It’s been more than a year and I can’t figure it out. Do I need a teacher? I know this stuff but just can’t apply it to the guitar and have no clue why or how to go about it.
I totally under understand what MJ Gillman is driving at. I never expected to but ive become a bit of a theory junkie. Im fascinated. Problem is my fingers cant walk the walk. Online lessons dont build off each other. They are random. Cant learn like that.
