Hey kris I feel comfortable with the pentatonic scale. but not at all with all the other scales, i can play them, but i cant use them in improvising.. you have a good tip? Hey Lund, Yes - I suggest that once you have learned a scale, take one or two licks which you like and which uses that scale - then basically force yourself to improvise with those licks. It will be a traumatic experience the first days but then slowly turn in to something pleasant! QUOTE One more question: How to make guitar scream? I know how to hold the pick, but i cant make it scream.. I hold it close to my thumb, and hit the string with both the thumb and the pick.. :b To make your guitar scream you need to use harmonics! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search_re...earch=harmonics Kris |

It's in the throat - not so much of a diaphragm thing - also you need to inhale to produce that sound. Well worth the effort though! MOO NOTE????? uh w/ a talk box u mean? |

Hey Lund, Yes - I suggest that once you have learned a scale, take one or two licks which you like and which uses that scale - then basically force yourself to improvise with those licks. It will be a traumatic experience the first days but then slowly turn in to something pleasant! Kris Im at the same stage now. I know all 5 pentatonic boxes (on pentatonic vid 2, ill be going to vid 3 soon once im more comfortable with the scale). I dont really know what improvising is but i really want to be able to do it. Is it taking a lick and playing it at different positions in those boxes? (just to confirm) How do i tell what key (and scale) a lick is in and exactly how do i substitute those complex licks (sometimes the gap between the notes changes, so the lick sounds different at different parts of the boxes; should i ignore those extended gaps or just substitute where the lick exactly fits into the box)? Heres a lick site that was submitted by another GMCer: http://www.myguitarsolo.com/Licks/Licks.htm Now heres the lick id like to learn to improvise to: http://www.myguitarsolo.com/Licks/htm/Lick320.html The strange part is that this does not look like a lick (more like an entire song). Is it really possible to improvise around with complex things like this? Does GMC have a sort of list of licks because im unable to differentiate between a lick and a riff. I check out the lick of the day section and most of them sound like blues/ jazz stuff. I want to be able to shred like metal guitarists (somewhat like Buckethead but mostly guitar players in bands like Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine and Metallica). Thanks a lot Kris or anyone who is reading this post and trying to help me out here. I know its a long post and is hard to understand (i dont really understand the question i have myself).
