Generally when I`m improvising its to build a set solo, I start of just playing around then I`ll listen back and hear a bit that I like, so in the next take I`ll include it in the same place but add something different and so on till I build a whole solo up. Well done m8, I`m impressed with your first ever solo, its only going to get better from here You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

One thing though, the link to the backing track seems to be broken. I can access the video, but not the mp3. Woop, EDIT: For some reason the mp3 works for me now, don't know what happened.
