just an improvisation. I'm curious what you think about it.

Hi man! Excelent job! This is something that you have to train as much as technique. I think that you are on the right track exploring the fretboard. You still have to be able to create more catchy melodies, more defined "answer" & "question" phrases, and give more variations regarding rhythm but you are going for that! Learning licks at GMC will also help you to incorporate more complex phrases and ideas.

I can't grade this video since it's an improvisation. Keep on the hard work!

As Gabe said, we can't grade this, since it's an improvisation, but, I agree about the fact that you are on a good path with your improvisation skills. Sometimes, you are resting too much on the same note and you should work a bit more on direction - that means, thinking in terms of how you phrase, in such a way that you can give your improvised lines a definite direction and also, try to create a melodic theme that can be recurrent in the track and that can also be developed!

Keep rocking mate!

I think the the first half melodic concept is a good starting point - just need some polishing. It's more "vocal like" which i a thing that I personally like. Now it's time to analyze how to colorize Your playing Also some notes are out of scale But it's very good You start to work on Your improvising skills .Many good worldknown solo were just a studio improvisation
