I think You take too much attention to play different notes instead of just adding the articulation. Let's stick to the 3rd backing track.
First of all aside from obvious "playing from the heart" what really improvising is.... 1. Ability to use licks You know in the right place and time 2. Fretboard knowlege 3. at least 3,4 basic scales knowledge and their layout 4. Ability to use colors, bulid tension etc And a lot more of course...but those few things are essential for us at the moment. My basic rule is: "don't play faster than You can think at the moment" Order of those 1-4 points is nor random. Nothing will happen with Your improvising skills before You don't get familiar with the neck. Here is the awesome mix od 35 blues licks from GMC lessons (those are named so You can go back to GMC and find each lesson) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2uiJXN3L6E Let's start the process by getting familiar with some licks that work for sure. Then let's match the number of notes to the speed of thinking. The trick with fast lick is that You treat them as a "one note" once You have mastered them. While improvising You don't think about every single note in the lick. You think of lickas a one note. This is why it's so important to make those lick's perfect. You first task: Choose 3 licks of those 35. Match the key so they will fit the 3rd backing track You've posted. Show me You ideas of where they could fit in this backing track. Understood ?  )) |
