Experience Improvisational Freedom
Improvisation is one the most fun thing that you could do as a guitar player. If you are not happy with your current improvisational skills, you are like most guitar players.
Most guitar players just don’t know how to truly use their skills and musical knowledge to make real music. Music that you (and other people) would actually LOVE to listen to.
In my years of teaching, I have taught hundreds of guitar players and most of them have one thing in common. Their knowledge of technique and music theory far outweighs their ability to actually use them. Often when improvising, guitar players end up just ‘fishing’ for good sounding notes and the result is that it sounds EXACTLY like someone fishing for notes. These guitar players usually can perform a technique, but do not have them integrated into their playing well enough. When improvising over chords, these guitar players struggle to execute the techniques they already know how to play. Even if they do try, it just doesn’t sound very musical and sounds ‘robotic’ and lacks emotion. Sounds familiar?
When you don’t know how to truly use your guitar playing skills to improvise on the guitar, it is like having your skills locked in a box and you don’t have the key to opening it. It feels like being stuck, and helpless when you don’t know how to fully and fluently use the techniques and concepts that you worked so hard to achieve.
