I’m trying to have the guts to take part in this and upload some improv, but I’m not feeling too confident
You guys sound great

You can do it! Anything that comes out is all good stuff if it helps you with improvising I'm always terrified to do them cause I hate recording myself

I'm sure that's the same backing track as lesson 6 that I accidentally recorded ?

I really bottle up a lot when improvising like lose of hand synchronization and such. Then I do it again after and hand synchronization is fine.

It's so strange right? It's like when you know you need to play correctly your brain starts trying to mess with you

Yeah, I can do it usually but there's definitely moments that it just all goes to shit

The worst ones for me are when I'm recording with my band and my brain goes 'Imagine you were never able to nail this part, ever' - the takes tend to pile up after that

 

[Mariler]

I guess I’ll revisit some the very first lessons like pentatonics or something like that and try some improv. Hopefully I’ll do some recording this weekend

So not first take this time because new strings tuning instability but here's mine

Nice stuff man,Really enjoyed the sweeps! None of mines have been first takes really

 

[Chris Johnston]

I've had a busy day so mines should be up by tonight

ok, I finally jumped in! I'm really having a hard time trying to stop, listen to the track, and not suffocate it spitting too many notes, which is what I always tend to do, find some notes that apparently make sense... It's actually a 3rd take, so I cheated a little bit tbh, but I know I'm not the only one here
I just noticed that I chose the backing track on lesson 22, the same @Ids Schiere did on his last video, so please avoid any comparison....

 

[Mariler]

just ignore this message lol

 

[Chris Johnston]

So I've been trying to upload today's improv to youtube all night and it's stuck at 60%, once it's finally on I'll upload it or just put two up tomorrow

See, that's not so bad! Try to dig in a little more with your vibrato because there are some nice motifs in there and a nice vibrato would make them sound even better!
