I've been paying more attention to scales rather than just going without any idea. There's parts here that are crap but i guess i just wanted to hear it from you guys on your thoughts about it, and what I can do to improve.So here's my video, i was kind of indecisive if i should post it of not cause I don't want my dreams killed haha but here it goes.

Pretty good, the bits that don't sound too good are where you aren't landing on a chord tone, paying attention to the chords you are playing over and what notes make those chords will help you with your note choices.

Great take man. I like the fact that you are moving from one box to the other it gives a good dimension. Good rythm all the way. Liked it man. Where did you get this nice backing BTW?

Quite well, you have good finger position, clear and good sound,just keep practicing! wink.gif

Nice job. Just keep trying to come up with melodic statements and emphasize strong chord tones as was stated above. For G minor, Bb, D and F are the strong tones as they are the minor 3rd, 5th and 7th.

Yes smile.gif

These two bits of advice from Poster Boy and Alex are crucial.. I'm always telling people to try and avoid landing on a chord change with an 'in between' note.. by that I mean you almost get caught in the middle of looking for the right note. I know you were just jamming and when we're jamming we all do it but this is very useful to bear in mind when you construct a solo. Make it desicive, not meandering smile.gif

Try going through my Improvising Workshop Series, it contains lots of useful tips for improvisation. You learned the pattern, but the problem is you don't structurize your phrases and don't follow chordal notes.

To be honest with you, I don't even know what Chordal notes are ..
Daniel Realpe
That's really good advice. Try to land on each chords root note first. Then experiment with landing on the third of each chord. Do it slow first, then you can start doing more crazy stuff.
