First upload would love some feedback besides practice more lol i think it was like my 3rd time playing it
Blues/Funk Improvisation
Just noodling :)
Prince - Purple Rain Solo (Improvisation)
This track is still one of my favorites to solo over :)
This is a first taker again and a real challenge since the backingtrack is just Dm throughout.

Day 6 Improv

It's day 6? I did like 50 million takes, I wanted to try and piece together something nice. I need to learn to write this stuff down. I had lot's of ideas and they kept changing/evolving, forgot a lot of bends and stuff I had. I didn't pay attention to my picking hand, during this. I spent like 2 hours total on the lesson itself and working on this improve. Was feeling a bit under pressure or something. Still a good day for music nonetheless.
A bit of light practice with a fun “sweetcore” solo 😁

I know the names of the chords now. Thanks to Jak I was able to figure the main ones out. Tomorrow I'm going to write some more of the notes down. Maybe even try and make a more guitar driven version. I think it's nice song, haven't listened to the words much just the melodies. Tomorrow I'll do it again so I practice naming stuff and make tabs or something. It's sloppy, my strap was all the way down. Almost forgot the chords are: C-G#-A-E. There's maybe another one or more
Made myself time to record a little jam. Sorry for the over editing and moving around like crazy, I just have way too much fun with this song! \m/ Wanted to do a full cover of this but things got in the way and the solo is kind of annoying to learn. With a bit of luck my next upload might be my finished original!

improve day 5

Did like 5 or 6 improvisations and record the last 3. It kept getting worse so I thought to just move on. I chose this last recording cause I thought it was a bit more showing of me trying to apply what I just learned. Haven't heard it yet , but there were some out of key notes or misplaced. I tried to redo it during my playing, but was a bit slow. Had way cooler ideas before I spent like an hour or one and a half on the C major scale lesson plus some time on the lesson 22. It was good because I was able to use both scales/patterns on the jam track.
A little bit more shredding than usual. Also, I changed my strings yesterday and it kept going out of tune very badly for most of the takes so I kept redoing until it somewhat stayed in tune enough #cheatercompleter

Practice makes perfect and this is definitely not perfect, so practice it is :P Side note: year of the cat is one of my favorite songs of all time and if you haven’t heard it before, definitely check it out! :)
Chords move fast in these backingtrack so i did something I don't like to do usually and that's just mindlessly shred for a bit.
Didn't realize it ended so fast, pretty weak ending. I was gong to redo it, but it's cool, tomorrow is another day. Sure is fun having something to stick to. Had a lot of cool things while practicing/warming up before recording this. Didn't record it though :'( Oh ya, I tried to add some other techniques into the solo like palm mutes.
As is probably pretty clear I lost track of where the hell I was in the second half. Also, every chord lasts 1 bar longer than Instinctly expect it to be so it's a bit of a pain to improvise over but well that's what practice is for. Now it's off to the gym to throw some weights at people out of frustration 🤪
I wanted to share this with you because I‘ve incorporated a lot of Synyster-esque economy picking ideas into this! :)
A lot of furious economy picking in this one! :) The first pattern is a great pickslanting and string skipping exercise too.
New day and a bigger challenge - This was in no way a one take wonder! I just kept over judging what I was doing in previous takes and trying again. I tried to stop myself from mindless noodling in the later half by using a Bubble trem effect on my guitar, enjoy!
A short clip of a longer (yet error filled video) of myself trying to learn one of my favorite songs of all time by ear. This is something I’m trying to get better at. It’s a tad messy but I’ll post a full video once I have it down. This is just a video of the learning process :) it’s exciting and I just wanted to share
Did this right after I got home and may have had to eat first but ooh well...
