Soloing over those damn crazy 7th chords

[jordans0nly]

Learn the open chords, the pentatonic scale, the minor scale, the major scale,...see how they apply to the open chords.

Learn the 3 notes that make up each open chord.

Start finding the inversions of those 3 notes as they move down the neck.

and most importantly, have fun.

Any sites or books to check out?

The girls used to want these trousers. Well they used to ask if they could take them off for me...!

One of the best book purchases I ever made was [ame=http://www.amazon.com/The-Guitar-Handbook-Ralph-Denyer/dp/0679742751]The Guitar Handbook[/ame] by Ralph Denyer. Scales, chords, the basics of theory, how-tos for mods, and much more. I got it at about two years' of playing time, and it made a big difference for me.
