I guess I am able to hear notes I'm gonna play BEFORE I actually play them, so I know how it would sounds like. Learning many solos,lessons etc will surely help you to upgrade your improvisation abilities. Then you just combine idea form them with your own ideas and you're ready to go. Hope this helps,let me know if you need anything else. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just practice the scales, and when you know them well enough, you will be way better at identify notes, and also hearing the lick or notes in your head to know if it works with the other note you played. I would have to recommend, dont learn it in the boxes, rather learn it as a whole I used this site : http://www.scalerator.com/. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
