I have played acoustic for a while, but recently I’ve picked up the electric as it’s quieter at night. While playing acoustic I never improvised, and this is something I’m trying to work on
I am trying to work on my phrasing and note selection while improvising solos. I tend to get stuck in one box shape or scale shape and not move around at all. Then I end up running up and down scales.
I also struggle to give a solo a narrative like a start, middle and end. I end up rambling through notes with no purpose
I usually play blues, but have used Chris Isaak’s ‘wicked game’ on my looper for this, as it’s easy and slow enough to try and focus on note selection/chord tones etc.
If anyone has any tips/feedback/critique it would be very welcome and appreciated
