You continue and add notes until you get to 10 or more. Fun duo exercise! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Some ideas that come to mind are: Playing songs that has 2 guitars, composing songs & practising improvisation exercises. It's also cool to record the jamming sessions since you could be creating good music than you can share or maybe work more and record an album.

I guess "creative" people will shine at this game. For sure, and you can start in a key, or from one scale or arpeggio and then work on multiple keys etc. Another fun game to play is to have one person play random chords and the other person has to solo over them by ear, then you switch around. Very good for ear training and to work on soloing chops at the same time! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

E.g. one playing an Am arpeggio and the other a C or F major arpeggio. Add in 7ths, 9ths or whatever you like. Or it could be other lines, picked or legato etc. It's probably some of the same Cosmin mentioned. You could also make a deal that you each come up with 5 licks for every time you meet and teach them to the other one. Or get a backing track, get your equipment set up and play 32 bars each (or whatever fits the track!) and switch back or forth. Here are some other videos that might inspire you: You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The more you practice seeing things on the vertical - harmonizing lines and especially, being able to harmonize a line you play with one you sing, will not only build up a great ear but it will also develop your orchestration abilities It's all a matter of exploring!

Also, I think practicing call and response can be a very 2 player thing to do. Improves your ear and improves your improvisational skills.

Improves your ear and improves your improvisational skills. And for starting out - you can set up some parameters, which will improve both players Only use the pentatonic scale, or another scale for instance. And then, you could throw surprise scales at each other - The element of surprise is always a great manner of learning to be aware of your musical environment You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
