Improvisation for beginners

Описание: In this lesson, you will learn how to improvise by gradually introducing more and more ways of using two simple blues licks. By creating your own variations on licks using the methods in this lesson, you can start getting used to creating new melodies in the moment.

For many beginners, it's difficult not having everything decided before you start playing. Using these exercises, you can gradually adapt to having to make more and more choices.

I go through 6 improvisation exercises in this lesson. From a very simple two-choice exercise, all the way to exercises with an almost endless amount of choices.



This lesson is loosely based on ideas from my book "Improvising with motives", but is adapted more for beginners. The book also has some sections that can be beneficial for beginners, but it also has more advanced stuff.

The backing track was recorded using a drum loop from Yurt Rock from the George Sluppick pack. Every other sound, apart from the drums, is recorded using a Heritage 535 guitar into a Fractal Fm3 amp modeller. The bass is just an octave effect on the guitar.
