I have tons of great lessons at Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. That's also where all my DVDs and Premium Downloads are.

Sometimes, it can sound really hip and cool if you play some "outside" notes in a solo. This lesson shows how you can use the Pentatonic scale to simply move a half-step up or half-step away from the original key. This will sound wrong if you do it too long, but if you do just a few notes, it will sound really cool. Remember to start in the correct key, then play the outside notes, and then come back to the correct key again.
I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.
There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.
Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!

I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Cool lick and cool shirt.

Comment added on July 21, 2012Can I purchase ''Playing outside'' on a dvd or download? I'd like to see the entire lesson.
Comment added on December 26, 2011It sounds great when you play it but, when I try it, it sounds way off. Is there an easier lick I can start with?
Comment added on December 26, 2011Good stuff, Robert, but it would have been more effective played over a track. More in context that way
