Turn Scales Into Solos: Guitar Improv Basics (Part 1)

Описание: Learn how to turn technical patterns into musical ideas for soloing, composition and rhythm guitar parts. It all starts with learning the foundational concepts of rhythm, and working on them in a systematic way.

In this video we'll take a dive into some crucial concepts that will help you move from practicing scales to making real music and meaningful solos. It won't happen instantly, but the exercises I demonstrate here will set you on the right path.

We'll take a look at basic rhythms, and adjust them as we go to help you start learning how to create musical phrases of your own. The goal is to help you create well rounded phrases that sound musical.

The important concepts that I introduce in this lesson are:

Rhythm + Motion
Motifs
Development
Resolution

Using these simple ideas you can begin to explore the world of improvisation in a new way.

This is the first video in a series which aims to help you become a fluent improviser, no matter what your technical skill level is. You can learn to solo/improvise even if you know only one basic scale shape. As you progress and learn more shapes, you will already know what to do with them and how to make music out of them.

This is the number one way to increase your enjoyment of the guitar and music more generally. It's what kept me going all these years, and also what drove me to learn other instruments as well. The joy of creating music in the moment is what has inspired me for more than 30 years of my musical journey.

Thanks for your support,

Trent
