Improvisation has always been one of my passions in music and most of my favorite guitarists were also great improvisers: Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Dave Murray, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Malmsteen, the list goes on. I find the mystery, surprise and uniqueness of improvisation an amusing element in guitar playing. Mastering improvisation also means: *FREEDOM and FLOW *Improvising is building a bridge between your inner self, your ideas and your hands. *The more you work on it, the more you learn how to express yourself on the spot and give your feelings life right there, in the moment. For lots of my fellow guitarists, this subject is somewhat a point of insecurity or weakness, and along my journey as a guitar coach, I've helped many people to find this so-called FREEDOM in the instrument. Yes, there is no end to music theory and what not but let me tell you this: there is a science behind improvising. In these weekly 8 lessons (1 hour - 2 hours long) we'll talk about the 2 aspects of improvisation: Creativity and technique/theory. Every session I'll divide the lesson half into each subject. I'll leave you with backing tracks an homeworks after the mastercalss, and I'm going to give feedback to each one of your videos! I'll walk you through my mindset, from improvising with the simplest ideas over 1 chord, to more intricated phrasing over chord changes.
