Introduction
What It Is
In any style, solos and melodies make use of the notes in the chords that are being played. In this book, we IIstart from scratch and learn to find both the chord tones and the correct scales to go with them in any spot on the fretboard.
Part I is a very simple preview to show you where the book is going. Then all the scales, arpeggios, and theory you need are presented, explained, and drilled in Part II with exercises that have a rhythmic focus. This all serves to prepare you for the longer chord-tone soloing routines in Part III. Pick up a guitar magazine or book and you'll find music being explained with a slew of numbers: "In measure 18, (insert amazing player here) sneaks in a stunning major 6th over the AD,resolving to the 3rd of the I chord." Ever wonder if great players actually think of those numbers, or is it all just theoretical justification dreamed up afterwards? The answer is yes, they do think that way, even if they don't know all the terms used by the guy who writes about it later. Be it crude or sophisticated, much musicality comes from knowing how notes relate to the underlying chords. The numbers (and letters) are the language used to express this chord-related, or harmonic, information. You might pick this up by trial and error, by relying on your ear, and/or by copying other players. This is necessary and desirable, and the way we all learn in the end, but you can cut down the time it takes to reach a professional level (where you're always ready to play something that fits the music) by applying harmonic theory to your practice. In other words, rather than reinvent the wheel, just steal it and run over those who came before you.
Who It's For
This book is for players of any style, at all but the most beginning levels. I'll only assume you know the most basic techniques like strumming chords and picking single notes (techniques like bending strings, hammer-ons, and pull-offs are not needed for the program). Everything beyond that is explained in detail, from basic harmony and theory on up. But there's no mistaking that by the end of Part III the material is advanced, and you can expect to continue to use this book for years to come.
Once you have enough basics from Part II under your fingers, the routines in Part III will produce noticeable differences in your playing in just a few weeks. After a year of applying the method, you'll know how to solo melodically over anything but the most challenging chord progressions. With the concept in hand, you can then make sense of those magazine transcriptions, attack other books with intelligence, and use what you learn from them in your own music.
Where It Came From
Students hear me soloing over tunes in different styles-rock, country, whatever. Sometimes they stop me and say, "Show me THAT lick!" I'd like to, but often I can't. There is not a giant mental library of licks that I simply plug in one after another. There are some licks to learn, of course, but there's more to it-some way of picking out notes on the fly so that they flow in a musical way, all in less time than it takes to think about it.
Then they might ask, "What scale did that come from?" or "Was that an arpeggio?" I explain that it's
neither scale nor arpeggio, but sort of both at the same time, which leads us into a productive course of study, the refinement of which you now have before you.

Conclusion
I suggest keeping some type of tone-targeting exercises as set forth in Part III of this book in your
practice regimen on a long-term basis. Add more challenges as you go:
• continue to target chords that change on beats beside beat 1 or 3 of the measure
• play lines consisting of triplets (three notes per beat), sixteenth notes (four notes per beat), or a mixture of the two
• use scale sequences and melodic ideas that fit or overlap chord phrases
• target chord tones over progressions that use odd time signatures
• apply phrasing ideas you've learned from other players
• think of some of your own ideas and practice until you can toss them in at will
An idea for a song may pop up while you're exploring a new exercise. It's also important to continue
learning and analyzing solos and melodies by other players, so you can absorb the pacing, phrasing, and structure, as well as the fun part: stealing the licks.
It's been a pleasure for me to work on this book, and I sincerely hope these practice routines help you as much as they have me and my students. Good luck.
