    Chris J - SGS - Extreme Improv Challenge - DAY#2 - Lesson 162

    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!

    Extreme improv Challenge 👺👺👹👹😱😱

    This one was so so tricky. And in no way a one take wonder! But every take was different from the last until I did something I didn't hate. I tried to stop myself from mindlessly noodling by using a Bubble trem effect on my guitar for the later half of the solo too 🤟 I think the hardest part of...

    Haha I don't think it's cheating to listen to it before hand! You need to know what you're getting yourself into before you hit record or at least I do :LOL:

    Jazz Chords

    There's some great one's suggested already! so I'm going to show you how to build them yourself instead - this should really cement your knowledge of them 🤟 If you know how to build your seventh chords you can continue to stack in thirds to get all your upper extensions which make them sound...

    Nice one man! I liked that tapping harmonic lick you did with the Cmaj7 held in - Totally trying that 🤟

    Thanks man! Yeah I struggle with recording/performing nerves & putting a lot of pressure on myself in general, that makes things I can do well off camera go a bit shaky, but I'm working on it! :geek:

    I am 35, should I still develop my musical ear?

    1000% you should man! To me Ear Training is the most important thing you can develop as a player besides all of the guitar-centric techniques. When my hands fail me (which is often!) my ears remind me where I am 🤟 This should hopefully help you out:

    Nonsense in A dorian

    This was supposed to be for the SGS Extreme Improv Challenge, but I got the backing track wrong. However I prefer this to the original improv I did, so here you go!

    Extreme improv Challenge 👺👺👹👹😱😱

    This is my take - very rough around the edges but it was a fun challenge! (ft. my cat, Crowley) I've noticed my camera/recording fear really interferes with my flow with these, so things start to get more natural feeling towards the end of the improv - if only people could hear the tempo of my...
