I have memorized this lesson The Connecting Game which opens a new door for soloing over chords.

Could you recommend the next lesson or song that would closing build off this lesson?

Thanks Brad

PS His speed building lesson that you recommended enabled me play Hot Rod Lincoln...

As i know various scale sequences and patterns to expand your melodic ideas. This will help you create more interesting and memorable solos. Look into concepts like ascending and descending runs, thirds, fourths, fifths, and other intervallic patterns and focus on targeting chord tones within your solos. This approach involves emphasizing the notes that are part of the underlying chord at any given moment. It adds a strong melodic connection between your solo lines and the chords being played.

That's great to hear that you've memorized "The Connecting Game"! For your next lesson, I recommend checking out "The Chord Melody Approach." It builds on the concepts from "The Connecting Game" and will help you further enhance your soloing skills over chords.


Also, consider exploring "Autumn Leaves" as a song to practice. It has a nice chord progression that complements the techniques you've learned.

I did a search for "The Chord Melody Approach"


and don't it listed in the results
(I scrolled all the way down)


Are you referring to Schlegal's "Chord Melody Style" (Series 1, 2, 3) ...courses?
