Hows everyone doing today.
I'm really honestly not happy with this at all, but I did this in one take, for a reason, because improv's are not usually *perfect, but alot better than this.. And In real life I cant say to a person 10 times, "can we restart or do this again." Anyways, I've been playing for a little under 10 months, I love improvising, and I love music, I always get crap with my family members for how I can play guitar for 3 hours in a row or whatever, but I like It so much that there is nothing at that time I would rather be doing. (They really dont like what I play, I always here my mom saying, why cant he just play normal music, Kinda a downer but gives me more drive. She wants to hear Howie Day - Collide and all the acoustic stuff, thats great but, I'm honestly not that inspired by it, But I learn it for my mum anyway  . And off that topic.I'm really just trying to get better, faster.. So i'm just looking for advice, please be as critical as you want, just don't hold back. I'll admit, it was a pretty slow tempo, just a tad slower that I'm fully comfortable with, So it was a hard adjustment, and If anyone wants the backing track just pm me, or ask for it on here. Thanks everyone!! -Tj

For someone whos only been playing for a little under 10 months I think this is incredibly good! I dont understand why your unhappy with it? your progress in this time is phenominal I`m kinda speechless to be honest, I`m never ever happy with anything I record when I listen back to it, but seriously this is very good, just keep practicing the way you are, your obviously heading in the right direction, and your speed will just get better the more you practice.

I do understand the "red button" syndrome, I suffer quite bad with that.

As the other people said, based on how short a time you've been playing this is great!
Keep up the good work. |

Damn, thats an awesome improv man! When I had played the guitar for only 10 months, I was still a total noob, and you sound like a pro allready!! Keep practising, and you will get even more better! Great job!

NIce effort man rally. My guess based on experience with beginners is that you play a little more than 10 months but hey, take that as a compliment would ya
 . And now for the bad part AS far as playing, it is good, lot of pinched harmonics, good vibrato and deacent drive sound. You should put your guitar on top of the backings, not the other way around. FOr me, playing blues progressions involves more smoothness then here. You sound somewhat tensed when played this, and that I personaly don`t like. I DO like your rhythm, and think you have a deacnet rhytmic playing, but not very melodic. Try working on your scales more and LEARN where tho strong notes are and where to end your phrases. ALso, if you DO bend your strings, you must wathc for the notes you bend. On what note you are bending? Do you know what is the bended note and does it fit in your chord progression and how. You shouldn bend he notes just to have them bend - know why you bend them, how much, where and why. Your use of pinched harmonics is great here, you really added some flavor in the solo with them, and did some muting with your right and raking - that I like, but try to use that more efectively. For example only there where you really feel the need for it, not to often. SOme of your triplet repeating exercieses can be found here as well. THey are good, but not solid and in flow with a solo. THey seemd "glued on". You must add them to the solo more fluidly and to follow melody with it. So thats for now, I hope you find good advices here to become better in your playing man - and keep rockin
