Are you an intermediate guitarist who has been stuck in a soloing rut for years? Or even decades?
If the answer is yes, then Iām guessing youāve grown tired of playing the same licks over and over againā¦
This course teaches you how to ditch your stale, repetitive licks and instead, begin playing tasteful guitar solos that ooze melody and feel!
The best part? You can learn how to do this WITHOUT learning āexoticā guitar scales, wasting hours trawling through YouTube lessons, or spending a penny!
Thatās right, Iām giving this course away for zero dollars (for the time beingā¦), so act today to grab it with free, lifetime access.
Hereās a tip-of-the-iceberg overview of the main benefits you can expect to experience when you study the curriculum of āMelodic Soloing With Triadsā:
ā Youāll move beyond the limitations of a purely scale-based approach to guitar soloingā¦ so that you can stop feeling stuck inside scale patterns and boxes
ā Youāll learn to target the notes that create a strong connection between your licks and the chords they are played overā¦ so that you can stop playing repetitive un-musical licks and begin crafting melodies
ā Youāll stop aimlessly wandering the fretboard, hoping to land on notes that sound goodā¦ and start improvising with the confidence of a pro-level guitarist, who always knows which notes to target for an epic solo

You are the GOAT of YouTube guitar lessons, Ross. Your old Bulletproof course helped me solve years of plateau. Thanks for making this incredible content free, legend.

Love your videos!! I practiced a lot to memorize all triads and arpegios of all chords of the major scale, but I'm still stuck and don't make any progress... I used to sound like scale practice over a chord progression, and now I sound like arpegio practice over a chord progressionš š„²

100% correct. I would add, "don't be afraid to play chromatic runs, i.e., several notes each one semitone apart, as part of the solo." Even if the notes simply do not fit either the chord, or the scale you imagine, the runs will sound right as long as they start and end on a chord tone.

I'm thankful to be getting to the point where these "meta" type lessons are as helpful and informative as those "Play this note, then this note..." lessons were a while back. Because of people like you.

Thanks for the course, Ross. What a fantastic gift. And at the perfect time too because Iāve been trying to really dig in on triads recently. Between your Bulletproof course and your Blues soloing book you have been instrumental in helping meet push past my intermediate plateau. Canāt thank you enough. Keep up the great work and your fantastic playing!

Jaco Pastorius's dad told him to learn the melody for every song first. I think that's good advice. That gets the dedicated pentatonic wanker like myself to find surprise notes outside what I'm used to. Discovering how notes match up with the chords in surprise ways give me a whoosh in my head sometimes lol. If you learn the pentatonic and use it religiously with I-IV-V patterns as a beginner and early intermediate, then it only stands to reason there must be more scale patterns you must know that go with the other multitude of chord patterns. But that's only asking to get stuck playing scales for the rest of your life and wondering when the magic is going to happen. :) So yeah you are right on.

Can't wait to get stuck into this course! I'm excited to see what other videos / courses you have in the works. I'd love to see some more Jazz-Blues Soloing & Comping/Rhythm stuff!

Thanks or providing access to this! I have gone through your bullet proof course (the old one), currently going through your blues book and also have your funky blues lines lessons. I must say that your courses are perfect for me. Will continue to subscribe to bullet proof guitar for my learning needs. Thanks again for the triads soloing content, now I can try and put things in perspective. I appreciate it!
