Guitar improvisation and soloing

This is a series of 6 online lessons, apparently free where Pat Baxter offers valuable tips on guitar improvisation.
The information is free so as to bring attention to his new book called 'Rockin' The Modes'. If you like the lessons then check out the book aswell.

Guitar improvisation and soloing
To be able to improvise effectively you must be aware of, and familiar with, the music you're soloing over. Not to say you have to know the song inside-out, but you have to be able to identify the structure of the progression (what chords are being played) in order to to select what scales would compliment these chords. Then, to take it one step further, decide what notes in these scales on which to focus.

That's where the Major Scale comes in.
