    The greatest part of fooling around with this is realizing this allows me to now play all the notes to the "Dueling Banjos". My dog just ran away with my truck, thanks a lot.

    Another fun thing to do for improvising is to duel yourself. It works best with a Les Paul because you have the dedicated tone control for the neck pickup so it'll sound like another guitar. But just play something on the bridge pickup, then switch to the neck pickup and try to copy what you heard with the bridge pickup. Granted, you should be able to copy it exactly anyway, but it's fun to pretend you didn't just play it, and try to replicate it. Not getting it perfect also adds to the feeling that you're dueling someone. But just keep switching between bridge and neck, and then change it to make the neck be the "Pro player" and now the bridge has to try and follow.

    Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning backing tracks!! I'm self-taught, using TH-cam for almost four years now, and I learned rhythm and improvisation by playing along to backing tracks. They are one of the most underappreciated tools in 21st Century/digital age guitar learning.

    @descent13 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is excellent. I learned these concepts a long time ago but it took me a lot of time to get it. When you combine this with octave visualization it really opens things up. For the rock and metal guys G major has the same notes as the venerable favorite key E minor so once you learn the G major you’ve also got the E minor but the focus is on the G note in the major and the E note in the minor

    Mike, thanks for decoding so simply. This really helps tie together a lot of other “methods” to make it more fluid. I’ve been working on modes using the “3 on a string” shape method (not sure where I learned it, maybe you, maybe Creative Guitar Studio or Marty. . .), which helped me personally gain smother flow up and down the neck. This unlocks the connection I was “feeling”, but I couldn’t “see” what I felt. Be safe my 🎸 brother

    Improvising is one of my major lesson tasks at the moment.
    Using the g major scale across the strings, learning where all the g notes are has been another small part. I've been using a lot of the YT backing tracks, I try and use a different one each time. So this is absolutely perfect! Looking forward to trying this out 🤘🏻🔥

    The whole/half step pattern is all I figured by myself out at the beginning. I used to solo just on one string, then two, then three.
    I found the root note (which I didn’t even know the term for) and then trial and errored the pattern on one string. Those limits really taught me how to phrase. My thought process was “two frets, two frets… hmm … one fret… two frets, two frets, two frets… hmm… one fret… ?!”

    @rickschneider3887 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recently started visualizing the Major scale into two string patterns (6 notes each pattern - 3 notes per string) similar to what you’re doing here only difference is it only uses two different patterns (shapes) that fit together by stacking them on top of each other. The key is knowing the position of the Key note and the relative minor note (6th tone) in each of the patterns. Pattern 1 is symmetrical on both strings and starts with the Keynote on the first note of the bottom string- 2nd pattern is what I call the bridge which starts on the bottom string (3rd tone) and ends on the Keynote on the top string (the next octave). From that keynote on the top string I play the next pattern (same shape as pattern 1) starting with the 5th tone on the bottom string (below the top string keynote) and play the same pattern as pattern 1 only starting with the 5th tone (bottom string) until you stop on the 3rd tone on the top string. From here you just shift that same entire pattern up a half step from the 3rd tone top string and you’re back to pattern 1 starting with the Keynote on the bottom string all over again. It’s confusing at first until you get the hang of it but once you memorize stacking these shapes on top of each other it make’s visualizing things so much easier!

    Nothing worse than seeing people stick to root and octave positions.
