In today's video I am going to give you three different approaches to soloing over a I to IV chord progression.

For this example I am using the song "Respect" as recorded by Aretha Franklin, which I already have a lesson up on the channel right here: https://youtu.be/O_6vNDk9b-Q

"Respect" is primarily built around a I to IV chord progression, and the three different approaches we will learn about in today's video are:

1. A blues/minor pentatonic sound
2. A major pentatonic sound
3. Combining them both to outline the changes
