Your teacher gave you a good advice. It's very good to learn how to improvise over a backing track. Band in a Box is a great program for that. It kinda replaces the metronome plus you have some background music. The point is to come up with some interesting melody and show some creativity. Try to connect arpeggios or scales in different positions. Later add some other technique to it, like hammer ons, bendings, slide... That way you will become familiar with the chord structure you're listening to and you will gain some more confidence when improvising over that progression. What does or does not sound good, well you have to judge by your own taste. Alternatively post some playing here and see what more experienced guitarists can tell you how to improve your playing.
Emir. Sorry I have just noticed that you're a bass player. For bass the same rules apply as I said but obviously you won't use any bending Sorry I haven't seen it on time -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

How long have you played the bass man? DO you know any scales or anything, what's your level of knowledge? I think it would be good to start learning some basic scales on the bass neck, and do some theory if you don't know what arpeggios and scales are and how they are built. Also good lessons to check are Bogdan's lessons here on GMC. He made a good bass serial that can help you learn some new stuff, and ask him directly for some hand-on bass playing advices.

Hello! Its always good to improvise! Yes , you can make the Band in a box play those chords and use appropriate arpeggios to improvise a bass line over them.Those arpeggios will be your strong notes basically and all of their notes will sound good against the chord.You can start on the root note and than develop the small melody using those notes...well just improvise and experiment...I would suggest making the interesting backing with different chord types (major , minor , diminished) to practice playing different arpeggio shapes on the go...Of course you need to match chord types with appropriate arpeggios!
Here are 3 of my lessons covering arpeggios and their extended positions : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...peggios-lesson/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...nded-positions/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...ed-positions-2/ Once you go through all of them you will be able to improvise lines all over the neck!
