F major guitar backing track that I put together. And what I played in my solo over it.
You can download the backing track (without my solo!) for free, here: dunsyd.bandcamp.com/track/f-major-backing-track
Chords for "Verse":
F sus 2: Notes - C, F, G, C, F
D Minor: Notes - D, A, D, F
F sus 4: Notes - F, Bb, C, F
C Major: Notes - C, E, G, C
Chords for "Chorus":
F sus 4: Notes - F, Bb, C, F
F sus 2: Notes - C, F, G, C, F
C Major: Notes - C, E, G, C
C add 9: Notes - C, E, Bb
F Major Scale: F, G, A, B♭, C, D, and E
D Minor Scale: D, E, F, G, A, B♭, and C
In this video I'm targeting a lot of the chord tones - I'm aiming to land on one of the notes in the chord, when the backing track moves to that chord. That said, I'm also playing an A a fair bit, as a note in the scale, that's only in one of the chords (the D Minor).
I guess it's about knowing the name of the note on the fretboard AND using your ear to hear the chord changes underneath. For the first part of the solo, I'm very much just sticking to the bottom 4 strings, on the first 5 frets, thinking the F Major scale and playing these notes in this order: F, G, A, Bb, G, F, D, C, Bb, A, G, F, G, A, C, etc.
Here's the fingering for the F Major scale: guitar-chords.org.uk/scales-images/fmajorscale-3nps.gif
When I move up a bit higher, I'm thinking more of D Minor at the 10th fret as the tone base and playing round that. I use the A quite a bit here.
Here's the fingering for the D Minor Scale: guitar-chords.org.uk/scales-images/dminorscale-3nps.gif
Hope that all makes sense. I know that I maybe went through this a bit too quickly, so I'd be happy to do another version, where I slow down a bit and maybe tab out what I played.
Video Timing:
0:00 Intro
0:27 Chords
4:47 What I played and why
7:33 My version and Solo
10:37 Backing Track
Thanks for watching
