I would say it's a hard work over the years.
You'll learn many licks,get better knowledge of the fretboard, upgrade your technique and improve your musical improvising abilities. It takes time and it's not easiest thing to do, to jam/improvise and keep it interesting all the time. I've played for about 14 years so far, here and there I play the backing,record myself doing jam and I take a listen to it...and very often I don't like what I hear. So,it's almost like endless process/research of your own playing, and the best thing is if you cant realize your greatest mistakes/lackings so you could work and focus on that.

Like Muris said, it takes time. You learn new things constantly. Just put the effort in and you will be rewarded (eventually)

100% improvisation will hardly give you a 100% good solo (even Muris said that happens to him
 ) . Of course you will improve over time ( I've been improving that a lot since I joined GMC)So follow the advise from David Gilmour, http://guitar.about.com/cs/guitartab/qt/solo_com_numb.htm This post has been edited by Gus: Oct 8 2008, 06:20 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

I am having the same issue where my improv sounds so redundant(On different tunes) and can't break out of it - My issue is my lick library is limited(to a few of the "begginner licks" and a few others here and there - I really would like to find more short licks to learn(Like Albert King used alot of as opposed to the longer solos/riffs on many of the lessons here)- my attention span is short). But one thing to remember(And reinforced by that article) is the great solos where developed after a lot of trial and error - EVH didin't just rip out Eruption in one take - He played it over and over and adjusted accordingly until her got it the way he liked it. -------------------- "Three Chords & The Truth . . ."

QUOTE (Muris Varajic @ Oct 8 2008, 01:21 PM) I've played for about 14 years so far Listen to me, I've played longer than Muris so I know what I'm talking about...  Actually, it's kind of depressing I havn't come further  *sob sob boo hoo*IMO improvising as the general term isn't about learning. It's just repeating stuff you already know. Great to stay warm but there's no learning in it. While improvising should be about trying new ideas to reach a goal. A guy like McGyver is great at improvising since he find new ways to solve a task. If you want to gain something while improvising tell yourself that during this impro I will connect this and this box, or I will use this mode over that chord and another mode over this chord. So add a challange, something you feel you don't master fully. Once you can improvise your challange so it becomes the same same noodling as always you have taken a step forward. Or pick a lesson and adopt the general idea, not the note for note approach, and make use of it. I should do this more often aswell. -------------------- My bands homepage

Don't worry man, through practice and and jamming you will get to know notes more and more, so you can improve your improvising skills. There isn't really a wrong way to learn it, your way is a good one, if you follow it, you will see some results, just need to be patient. In order to improvise good, you have to know all the notes, scales, and theory thoroughly.

Its normal to develop your improvisation skills over years...You will learn how to connect "boxes" you know and everything in time..Just jam as much as you can and think about the theory behind it before and after and you will be on the right track.

I belive that learning some licks can be a good tool when improvising. Learn a lick and then try to use it ove the entire fretboard......
It can be usefull when imrovising since you always have something that you know hhw to play -------------------- My Gear
