SGS Extreme Improv Challenge - Alternate I Backingtrack

My first improv. Sorry for shitty quality and already being in my pyjama! lol The only time I have for some guitar is in the evening when I am done from working all day!
Gotta say it was really difficult to get into any kind of improv (again)
Couple of things really, try to always start form an idea. Any solo you do always starts from an idea not a lick you happen to know. Also, like always try to figure out a melody/motif first and do your licks around it. In this instance you sound very much like you're just running through the licks you know so it's more like look at my collection of licks instead of a guitar solo if you know what I mean 😅

I know you haven't played guitar for a while but that's just some constructive criticism

Well it's an improv isn't it? I can't translate melodies to guitar and trying to do it spontaneous and in a different Key doesn't make it easier.
