One thing I’m always trying to get better at in guitar playing is improvising, having a good ear and trying to get good at lead guitar soloing. I learned the secret to getting good at lead guitar and making your lead guitar parts sound good with your rhythm playing, you must choose the right scale that is in the similar shapes of the chords you’re playing. The usual minor pentatonic scale can’t be played over everything. I just discovered that secret by doing a lot of reading.

The secret to having a good ear and mastering improvisation is singing along to the notes on the guitar, memorizing the sound of the note in your head. It takes a long time to do, but I’m getting the hang of it. These days, I’m more worried about becoming a better guitar player than a songwriter.

Yep, I’m trying to get better and doing my best. It feels great studying and practicing guitar again.
