In this guitar lesson, I'm going to show you how to use scales to play solos on guitar. We'll cover the basic music theory involved, the five essential guitar scales, how to connect the five scales, and how to apply them to a real song to improvise your own solos. The five scales we'll be using to solo with are the minor pentatonic scale, the major pentatonic scale, the major scale, the natural minor scale, and the blues scale. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
