Creative Improvisation

Step by Step

Improvising an original lead guitar solo is a very personal thing and can feel exposing for some people. If it's something that you would like to develop, then there are two directions to choose from-

Imitate or Innovate

I'm very much in the school of Innovate but that wasn't always the case.

My improvisational journey started with a lesson on how 'A guitar solo is just one lick followed by another, then squash in another lick before ripping through some random notes of a scale.' 

And I can tell you from experience, that approach leads to a dead end lane of boredom and difficulty breaking out of the pentatonic box.

Ever heard someone say... "Just play any note from the scale and it will sound fine"

Wrong. All I hear is, "Just let your fingers do the thinking and turn off the creative part of your brain."

What's included in the course?

• 6 of the most common scales used to improvise.
• Detailed description of how to use them in different situations.
• Backing tracks in all keys in various styles.
• Different techniques to add phrasing.
• How to make your solos interesting for the audience, and you.
• Song tutorials to give examples of how to use different techniques and develop single note picking technique.
