Awesome! Let's start!!!
Here is the backing track I would like you to use to practice! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar It's a minor blues The chord changes are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 - Emi7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 I have a really good exercise that will help you develop your own style! I want you to start creating your own licks! To start we will use A minor blues pentatonic in 3 positions: ![]() ![]() ![]() You can use any notes from those positions !Try to combine them together and turn them into short licks! I would like to hear what you can come up with before I will give you examples! Let me know if you need help or have any questions! P.S. In a few days I will give you a very col warm up exercise to build your alternative picking! ![]() -------------------- |

I am really not as good at improvising as I wish. Do you think we can focus on improvisation with bluesy licks for a while. I really like the styles of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Slash, Jimmy Page, and Gary Moore when he's playing blues. Awesome! I have a perfect assignment for you! It is a minor blues in A minor http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar The chords are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Emi7 I would like you to play A minor blues pentatonic in this position over Ami7 and Dmi7 chords ![]() E minor blues pentatonic over Emi7 chord ![]() Try to be as melodic as possible and have fun jamming over this track! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

I will put those exercises as my new warm up routine. I think since Gab is also my teacher I will focus on technique with him and here I can work on my improvisation. I have been jamming to the track you gave me all week and trying to come up with something good! I'll post a video tomorrow. So I added my solo to give you some ideas! I would like you to continue and add the next 12 bars! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/sparrow Please leave the rest of the track playing so I can add the next solo! I used the same scales and shapes I gave you! Looking forward to hear your take! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |
