Truefire Jeff McErlain Solo Explorer Rock

Interactive Video Masterclass for Guitar Soloing
There are countless harmonic applications, creative and stylistic approaches, techniques and a wide range of embellishments that you can employ to spark inspiration for a compelling rock solo. You will explore dozens of them with Jeff McErlain guiding your journey as you play your way through this Rock edition of Solo Explorer.

”We’ll work through six diverse solo explorations each centered around popular progressions that you’ll encounter in hundreds and thousands of songs in the rock lexicon. For each, we’ll start by analyzing the changes to get a sense of what melodic options exist.

Then, we’ll explore a variety of creative applications and approaches that you can use to spark your own creativity. And you’ll apply them all in a real-life musical context!

You’ll learn to “tweak” soloing devices that you’re already familiar with such as pentatonic and blues scales, modes, guide tones, targeting chord tones, and expressive techniques like bends and vibrato.”

You’ll start your journey with a three-chord blues-rock jam. Next, a moody three-chord vamp followed by a deep exploration of a classic rock style progression that blurs the line between major and minor. There’s a Pink Floyd inspired progression, a Led Zeppelin-style chord progression that takes us through multiple keys, and finally, you’ll deep dive into a heavy metal, classically influenced jam in E minor.

Jeff will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Grab your guitar and let’s start exploring the sonic landscape with Jeff McErlain!
