Concepts and Insight
In this section you will work on a ton of advanced concepts like motivic development, altered scales and playing over changes. Taking the time to get these concepts down will help move your soloing to a much higher level.
TIP! Guitar playing is a lot about what you know and understand. Without that you are just fumbling around on the fretboard.
A good way to keep track of all the concepts and different approaches you are going to be working on is to keep a practice notebook handy and jot down these ideas. Your notes can be as simple as "Use the Major pentatonic over a Major chord" or more difficult concepts like chord substitutions. Whatever they are - make notes and review them frequently. Most concepts are things that you will use time and time again throughout your playing career, so keeping track of them all is imperative.
Eventually these concepts become subconscious knowledge like putting one foot in front of the other as you walk across the room, but until then, constant review and repeated use will make sure you are not forgetting or overlooking anything.

Modal Blues Playing
Modal Blues Playing - Concept 7 is a video guitar lesson presented by Andy Timmons and is sourced from Electric Expression: Blues.
Now I want to expand a bit on the basic pentatonic ideas that we have talked about by starting to think slightly modally. In this video, we'll use the chord's scales to map out what notes can be used to make up our blues lines.

Passing Tones & Outlining Chords
Passing Tones & Outlining Chords - Concept 9 is a video guitar lesson presented by Andy Timmons and is sourced from Electric Expression: Blues.
Let's talk now about some non-scale and non-chord tones called passing tones. The most organized ways of using passing tones is to connect two scale tones with the notes in between or to outline the shape of a chord while playing notes within the shape. However, you can almost get away with playing any tone by resolving it well.

Motivic Development
Motivic Development - Lead 1: Overview is a video guitar lesson presented by Robben Ford and is sourced from Blues Motif Revolution.
This track is an up-tempo shuffle in the key of A, with bass, drums and rhythm parts. There's some good space here, so I can develop something that really flies! I'll take some notes from B.B. King and Mike Bloomfield, also bringing in the A minor pentatonic scale to develop some motifs.

Let's look at some of the lead ideas we developed in the overview, making sure to give the rhythm part some space to shine through.

Motivic Development - Lead 7: Overview is a video guitar lesson presented by Robben Ford and is sourced from Blues Motif Revolution.
This track is an upbeat rumba in Bb. One of the things we can do to build a motif is to play a phrase up an octave, giving the listener something to refer to earlier in the lead part. We'll also repeat the same pattern for each chord in the progression, using some double stops to mix things up.
