playing licks from the licks library over the backing tracks. The first couple I tried I was all over the place but then actually stumbled upon some good sounds outside of the actual licks. Just kind of improvising and realizing that I could play around with the scales as well over chords on the backing track. One of those light bulb moments that I was having a lot of fun playing around with it!
Anyone else discovered this? I'm sure I'm not the only one, LOL.
This has been my primary practice for a few days now. I’m pretty excited to actually play something ‘fancy’. I haven’t been trying to learn songs just trying to get my tones to ring clear and my accuracy better. Trying to get my pinky calloused too. I said before I can barely fret a c chord and f chord is a curse word. Running scales and a riff here and there on these backing tracks has been illuminating!!! I thought I’d discovered ‘Merica I was so excited!!! I heard Devin say to do this in one of his oldest lessons on the site yesterday. Lol Thanks Devin!!!

Yes Susan this is why I joined the site to improve my Improvising,
It takes a while but I must admit my improvising has came on leaps and bounds since
joining Country guitar online.
I’ve been playing the licks lesson a lot is there a method to transitioning one chord to another
For me it’s just lots of practice
Slow and steady
@toottootcomcast-net Most times I find its a 1 or 2 8th notes that ties one lick to another or a strum.
Playing scale runs over the backing tracks and dropping in a piece of a lick makes me feel pretty good about my playing. I’m a cheap date!
I’m running scales up and dowN with a backing track. Adding triplets, hammer-one, slides and string skipping in. I’m impressed. (I told you I’m a cheap date) It’s turned into some great drills for me to get my dexterity and speed spot on and fun.
@toottootcomcast-net Use the Bible Method "Seek and yee shall Find" 😊 😊
