Extreme improv Challenge 👺👺👹👹😱😱

[Chris Johnston]

I haven't really done ANY of these, but I had time and interest this afternoon, so I sat down and did the one for 85. As always, I think there's a few really good moments - islands of goodness in the ocean of diarrhea. As always with the bits that are sweepy in nature, I have no idea what the fuck I'm ACTUALLY doing and trying to play a legit sweep has me fumbling over my fingers like a n00b, but hey, I can play to my limited strengths.

Really enjoyed that! Especially the laughter after the sweeps

Here's some noob shit . Sorry, the backing track sounds louder than my guitar.

Loved the double stop ideas in this

@Ed Seith That was awesome, you must have lot's of experience. I'm really happy you joined in

@Mariler Ferrer The only Noob shit I heard was the low volume, I was able to see motif and those building block and expanded concepts thing PG talks about in the blues lessons. ( maybe elsewhere too )

I'm going to take a little more time today on my improv. I want to try and do that stuff too, I'm really chaotic

Islands of goodness in the ocean of diarrhea is like the average improv

That's a nice one. I didn't play anything share worthy but I enjoyed it anyway. This challenge is great for motivation, I really don't play lead enough.

Islands of goodness in the clean of diarrhea @Ed Seith What is that? I forgot to ask, a song?

Okay, I have no much dignity anyway
I may have cheated a bit because I've played it on repeat but by the time I recorded this i forgot all about the parts I picked out so it's messy.

Wow! Everybody hopping onto that improv challenge train! Awesome! Makes me think I should give it a try too at least once....

 

[William B.]

@Lindsey Nice seeing you play, another style in the mix is awesome
I'm not going to play today, I got some trouble

 

[idssdi]

Here's mine

 

[Mariler]

Some sloppy licks today. The ideas were in my head but not in my fingers

 

[Mariler]

Here's mine

makes me jealous to see you play so confident
This challenge is teaching me a lot anyway. I’m becoming more aware of my weaker spots

Transferring ideas from your head to your fingers definitely is a process you need to go through. This also isn't an easy backingtrack to solo over due to those little ending bits but you did kind of ok! I did notice you were looking for the right notes at times, did you seek out the chord progression before you started?

 

[idssdi]

Today's number is 44

Yes, you should. Even if you don't record it it's fun to do.
