I tried to find a previous thread that addressed my issue with no luck. I, like many GMCer's am stuck trying to learn to improvise. I've been playing for many years and have achieved noteworthy speed, accuracy, and technique. I have a general understanding of theory. I'm starting with pentatonics to make it a little easier but I cannot seem to make real music.
The Question: Is there some kind of rule about improvising over chords? I understand the concepts of creating tension in the sound but I can't put it together. Is there an Am progression I should be starting with? Is there an order of techniques to approach improvising in an easier way? When is it proper to use leading tones, tensions tones, etc...
THANK YOU ALL!!!
