Hi Kris,
thanks for taking me in! My favorite guitarists / bands: - Clapton - Matthew Bellamy - Mark Knopfler - B.B King - Slash - ... Long term goal: - Being able to play Eugene's Trickbag  - Being able to really improvise, not just up/down pentatonic scale. Currently I work on improving my understanding on improvisation with pentatonic scale first (question and answer, phrasing etc.) I work also with this lesson on bending : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ending-Workout/ An improvisation that I played: https://soundcloud.com/nicolas-lefevre-1823...o/s-cTOOJVrLRdQ And a video of "Muse goes stoner": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yogK1BZZXn4 Yes I interested in a jam based approach for sure.

Thanks Nico,
Your improv is nice and there are no obvious issues: your timing, intonation and flow is good 😎 Since improvisation is a huuge topic - I find the trickiest part is where to start. Since you also have a clear goal of improving your technqiue / playing Eugene's Trickbag - I am thinking that we should start with looking at some technique challenges/practicing, and possibly identify some issues that might be holding you back. After that, we could look at how to involve technique practicing into a jam based practicing routine. ----- An alternative route, is to not work so much on chops / speed but rather search for 'low hanging' fruit in your improvs. Basically that would mean identifying concepts you can apply to improve your jams asap. Which is what we did here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=62795 ----- We cannot really do both at the same time. So my suggestion is to start with whichever you feel would be most inspiring. Please let me know what your spontaneous thoughts on this is? |

The first option sounds good for me, trying to improve my technique and involve into a jam based practicing routine.
Currently I do this routine (since yesterday - warming up with lian: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Warming-up-with-Lian/ 80 > 140 - little finger work-out: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...inger-work-out/ - bending: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ending-Workout/ - alternate picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...cking-Workout-4 - rock rhythm variations: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Rock-Rhythm-Variations/ For the improvisation part, I tried to have a better understanding of the guitar neck like identifying the intervals for the pentatonic. What do you think? |

Hi Kris,
I still continue to practice every day. I didn't post the previous week because of lack of time (yes for me to register a video can take me a lot of time ).I could register two videos this time: - Little finger workout 80BPM : - Beginner Bending Workout This last one seems easy but no I also register this one https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Warming-up-with-Lian/ but I think I deleted the video file. And for the improvisation, I will send you a video in the week too, I also worked on the exercise you suggested. |
