I am still working on jamming over the rhythm track. I don't feel comfortable enough to move on. I understand the theory, I just cannot seem to apply it to my playing. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks Alex,

PS. I could be over thinking the situation. Most of my academic and musical hindrances stem from trying to think too hard.

I would suggest creating licks combining two or three pentatonics even if it's a short phrase! And don't over think just make sure you understand what you are doing! More you do it better it will get!
I gave you a lot of material don't try to swallow it all right away one step at a time!
Try combining Bmi and E mi pentatonics to start!
Those are positions I want you to use:
For Bmi

For Emi


You can play those through out the whole backing track!
Try it out and let me know how it goes!
After you will get comfortable we will add more but for now do only those!

Here I thought I would be the only person in the LA area on GMC this early in the day. I will give this a try right after I finish listening to the rerelease of Human by Death.
