Hi Chris! There is a long list of things and elements that you can work in order to improve your improvisation skills. This elements can be grouped into two big groups: technique and theory applied to the fret-board.
However, the most important thing is not adding a lot of concepts, or learning lots of techniques, patterns, arpeggios, triads. The most important thing is to assimilate the develop each element that you learn and work on one each time. I like the idea of writing down a list of concepts, and working over a backing track on 1 each time. This is an example list: - concept 1: vibrato and bending - concept 2: following the chords with thirds. - concept 3: following the chords with triads. - concept 4: mixing triads to get new colors. - concept 5: dynamics - concept 6: double stops - concept 7: learning and applying sequences. - concept 8: structure - concept 9: alternate picking - concept 10: harmonics - concept 11: melodic motif These are just ideas, there are lots of concepts that you can work. Besides working on 1 of these each day and using gmc tutorials and lessons to get inspiration and more knowledge about the topic, I recommend you to learn 1 new lick each day and practice it over backing track, playing it as it is, and making your own variations of it. -------------------- My lessons

Sounds good to me Chris, I'm not really in a position to advise but for me it stopped just as I was needing it to start building. To me it has a For The Love Of God vibe to it and it would be great to hear it build like that track does. I think it has a lot of potential for an extended version.
Well done mate it's inspired me, thanks. Any chance of posting the backing, Cheers This post has been edited by Phil66: Jan 2 2016, 07:50 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.
