The Key Of Improvisation

Here is some knowledge about improvisation,
Hopefully it is usefull for you!

Improvisation, any guitarist knows how fun improvisation is. It is nice music and you can create any style or sound you want. But what is the key of improvisation?

When you play a solo, the first thing you need to do is look at the chords that are played. Here can you depend on your improvisation and scales that are used. For example when the chords: A - C - G - F are played. The scales you can use are A,C,G,F#,B.

Another important thing is to bring up ideas when your in a solo. These are called: Licks. you create an idea with for example three notes. And now it is time to expand this lick and make it more attractive and create more of that sort licks. You have to understand the use of the scales and mix pentatonic.
For the ones who dont know what pentatonic is. Pentatonics are they called, it is a serie of 5-6 notes where you can improvise on. All pentatonics have six position to play and you have seven different pentatonics. So when we play this pentatonics, we can mix them and play in example three pentatonics in one position. This is usefull for maknig a great solo.

I hope you learned some and create some inspiration on improvisation.

I'll now explain to you the best way to play the chords. I work with numbers. these are the numbers of the frets you would play. I hope you will understand ;)
Let's begin

Bsus: X/9/9/8/7/0


Asus: 5/7/7/6/0/0
