@Mariler Ferrer your improv got really fluent towards the end, like you relaxed some more. Nice tone, it's a little fuzzy.
@Dominik Gräber When you land on a solid note, you can try to dance around it. Usually a note up or down, will guide you.
Finding Power chords or something kind of helps with finding a general spot for notes, if you change speeds during your improv's
and just hold an ending note to the measure would change things up for you. When I jam alone, I just do whatever I feel like, I just try to focus on making a note that would match somewhat to what I'm hearing. It comes out bad a lot, but yeah, it's practice. Sorry might have gone a bit off topic, just woke up.
I try to remember the spacing between tones, hope that helps

Thanks William! Yeah I do know what you mean. It's Just hard to incorporate it all Into an improv for me! Although I think my landing notes were okay Here!
Yeah it's really hard to think about everything, I think that's why improv is good practice. I try to just take only a few ideas at a time and mix them. Could try like "for this run, do palm mute, a sweep, slide and a few harmonics" and than next run give yourself some other rules.
I've been trying that some, I mostly like trying to play notes the singers are doing or other instruments. I've even just hit dead notes to beats for riff patterns while listening to songs I like. Maybe the singer thing could help you if you run out of ideas, I noticed a lot of my ideas don't really resolve and seem like a loop going back and forth. I'm a little stuck there

Thank you!! The track was really hard for me and yeah, I think you’re right, towards the end I started kind of understanding better and played more relaxed. It was difficult but loved trying it.
Nice! Besides the same old feedback on vibrato I'm noticing you're playing pretty much all the time, try to let your solo breathe every once in way by putting little rests in there.here's mine from yesterday,...sorry I'm late
Here is mine.
I wanted to do the improv today because this weekend I won't have my guitar with me. The track wasn't very beginner friendly either, but I'm kind of getting used to it

Absolutely right, I tend to play too many notes,... I think it's lack of confidence, like if I was afraid of getting lost or forgetting my next idea. Definitely must master the scales to feel more comfortable and keep practicing vibrato
@Mariler Ferrer
That was great!
You danced around those arpeggios nicely, makes me want to practice more I'm always catching stuff I leave out when I watch/listen to others. It's really inspiring. Things will just keep getting easier, always something to look forward to.

Nice! You got some nice melodies/motifs going on there. Backingtracks like this are definitely not easy to solo over due to it only being a Dm all the time but we'll done!Here is mine.

Also, wooh different guitar
Thanks
!! My guitar is my old Jackson. It’s25 years old !! I bought it when I was 20something and tried to learn. But my teacher was so bad that I quit after a few months
