3 Easy Solos For Beginner Guitarists

If you’re just learning guitar, getting started with playing solos might seem daunting. It’s a big change to go from strumming chords to your favorite songs, to playing lead lines. The best thing is to start out easy, but not too easy. The more you challenge yourself, the better a guitarist you’ll become. Just remember to take everything in bite size chunks as you’re learning. To help you get started with solos, I’m recommending a couple that I’d learn if I was just getting started - one from three different genres. The feeling of learning and playing lead is amazing. Let’s get into it.

1 Habit All Amazing Guitarists Have In Common

I’ve observed hundreds of guitarists over the years from all different skill levels, and the ones who are making a lot of progress often share a lot of the same traits - they have a plan when they sit down to practice, they know the people to go to when they’re facing a hurdle in their playing, and they’re endlessly curious about guitar and music in general.

Every guitarist should record their practice ...

It’s cliche, but everyone has a mini recording studio in their pocket with them at all times.

Sundays Are For Six Strings (and Seven Strings too!)

I've been writing and shipping the Six String Sunday newsletter every Sunday for years now, and it's one of my favorite things to do each week.

I thought it'd be fun for people to be able to support the newsletter or just show their love of jamming on the weekends, by making the Sundays Are For Six Strings t-shirt. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! And at the request of one of our friends in the Chasing Sound Discord chat, I made one for seven strings too!
