        Just felt I needed to go off on a tangent. Try to incorporate improv within lessons going forward.

          Super sweet blues. Less is so much more!!!! Your bends are really pretty.

            That was a great effort Alan. Looks like you’re targeting all the areas on the neck and staying in key. I think learning to improvise takes jumping in the deep end and just doing it. Looks like you’re off to a great start. Sounded great. Keep it up!

                  Great job on this. And yes, your target notes are spot on. Great tone as well.

                    Sounding good Alan. Adding your own phrases to Brian’s lessons puts you on the fast track.

                          Thanks fellow AM’rs. My practice used to consist of scaling through backing tracks and learning a few songs. Continued to do this while I added this site and suffered an over-use injury. I’m pretty much healed now but I’m just sticking to this site now and pacing myself.

                            Great use of space and silence.
