<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1014784/open_sms">Send Steve a Text Message</a>Your solos don’t have to sound like scale drills. We dive into chord chasing—the practical way to switch your note choices with each chord—and show how a handful of smart targets can transform C–G–Am–F into a melodic story. Instead of sprinting across the fretboard, we stay in one position, highlight the notes that define each chord, and reveal how separate pentatonic shapes fuse into the full C major scale. We start by mapping C, G, A minor, and F to their matching pentatonics, then focus on overlap points so you can pivot smoothly without losing your place. You’ll hear why chord tones do the heavy lifting, how to pick one or two anchor notes that actually sound like the harmony, and when to use shared tones as subtle bridges. To sharpen your ear and control, we raise the stakes with a non‑diatonic twist: inserting E major before F. You’ll learn two ways to handle it—shift your pentatonic shape back a fret or keep common tones as glue—while always landing cleanly on the next chord. Along the way we contrast long‑term fretboard vision—CAGED, triads, and shape awareness—with short‑term execution, where you choose a simple target and make it sing. We include a backing track and demonstrate three passes: a rigid, mapped version; a looser exploration; and a musical take that prioritizes space, tone, and resolution. If you’ve ever wondered how pentatonic fragments add up to diatonic fluency, or how to make fewer notes say more, this walkthrough gives you a clear, repeatable path. Ready to turn shapes into songs? Listen now, try the backing track, and tell us which chord gives you the most trouble. If you’re finding it hard to break through, check out Guitar Zoom Academy for a custom plan.
