From the video
Answers: What scales and notes can I play over a D major chord on guitar?
- guitar soloing over a D major chord
- pentatonic and blues scales
- diatonic scales and modes
- chromatic and target notes
- chord progression improvisation
What it concludes
- Playing only chord tones provides no tension or good story, so adding pentatonic or chromatic notes creates musical interest.
- The pentatonic scale is the easiest and most foolproof scale to play over any chord due to its balance of tension and release.
- Non-diatonic notes and target notes can be used to add spice and show awareness of underlying chord changes.
- Sticking to diatonic chords and pentatonic scales of the chords being played keeps soloing sounding connected and cohesive.
