i have learned quite few scales, chords, techniques, but as soon as a backing track or metronome starts i kind of freeze and just cant move around the fretboard as freely as i would like to play when i do manage a small lick i seem to play just in one scale pattern any suggestions steve I think the rhythm gets you freezing. Thinking of following the rhythm at the same times you you should manage a f.ex pentatonix scale it too much. I suggest, just start the backing track in a never ending loop. Get to work on the fretboard, never mind the pentatonic boxes, just play. Plenty will sound off scale but suddenly you will find three notes that belong. Keep repeating! Get a groove! Continue to look and you'll find a few more notes that belong, suddenly you have two places to switch between. And after a while I'm sure you will see that they belong in a scale somewhere. So what I'm saying is, take it the opposite way. Instead of knowing the scales and improvise from there - Just improvise, hear what fits and fins out the scales after. Keep a groove going even if you're just hitting one or two different notes. -------------------- My bands homepage
