Here is Tom's full explanation of this lesson. Send a message if you want to discuss further... OK, here's the lowdown. From 0:35 to 1:03 I'm playing in the key that the chord progression comes from which is A Major..(tonal center). Now when I play from 1:03 to 1:38, I'm playing licks off of each chord. Licks that begin as soon as I think of that chord, (pertaining to only that chord) and end as soon as that chord ends. The licks come from any number of passages of songs that I've learned in the past. The licks are being generated from the feelings that I'm feeling and/or the thoughts I'm thinking about at the exact time I'm soloing. In other words ...realtime. It's actually kind of interesting what's actually happening. The solo that I'm playing is the combination of two things going on simotainiously, 1) what I'm thinking and 2) what I'm feeling. So as far as each chord goes, I'm treating each 2 beat chord change as a separate piece of music. If you were to separate each chord by itself, you could come up with a completely different idea each time. I don't change scales because a scale is 8 notes or 5 (pentatonic). There's not enough time 'cause you only have 2 beats for each chord change. Besides, licks come from songs passages. I'm not playing A Major the whole time. If you break down what I played, you'll see that each lick is different from each other, unlike the barrage of notes that I played from the A Major scale in the section 0:35 to 1:03. So yes, I kind of hit tones that are related to the chords themselves. Here's an exercise for the second section 1:03 to 1:38: Take each chord, A, E, F#minor, & D and come up with a different lick (original or borrowed from another song you know) for each chord. Practice each lick as if they were from 4 different songs. Practice with a metronome slow enough so you can go from one lick to the next without getting out of time. Then when you get your speed up to the right tempo, play the exercise over the chord progression. Notice, if your playing it right, you can hear the chord progression in the solo that you've come up with.
