One of the aspects of guitar playing that I love and enjoy is improvising.
Through improvisation I can express myself freely, a way to escape from the world and forget about all my problems.

Here are my 10 improvisation tips to help get you started:
1. Learn Pentatonic scales, this is the most used scale for soloing on guitar in rock and blues music.
2. Learn Natural Minor scale or Aeolian, this is also the most used scale for guitarist.
3. Learn Major scale or Ionian, this mode is the first of the 7 modes.
4. Learn chord tones and triads. Targeting the right notes in the chords you playing over to make melodies. As the chord changes, you change the notes that you play. Ex: in C Major chords: target C - E - G to start or end your solo phrases.
5. Learn Modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian.
6. Learn licks from other musicians and playing it over various backing tracks to work on timing and feel, and make it your own." Good artists copy, great artists
