A fun and easy method for learning guitar improvisation: the ‘Jam Along With Tom’ course!
This step-by-step interactive short course explores 8 key methods for playing great guitar solos: https://tinyurl.com/zfrzwjx5
Improvising guitar solos has been one of my favourite parts of learning music since I first picked up a guitar. As well as being a useful skill for song-writing and performing live, it is a fantastic way to practice a variety of techniques. Guitar improvisation also has a powerful and varied effect on the brain, including increasing creativity and silencing your ‘inner critic’ (see this link for more info on this: How Improvisation Changes the Brain | Psychology Today)
This course’s step-by-step provides an accessible way for beginners to start creating guitar solos. It also offers a framework for guitarists of all levels to develop improvisation effectively for years to come.
‘Bouncing ideas’ off of other musicians is an especially effective way to learn to improvise and so each of the 8 approaches come with a ‘virtual jam’ with me! These 8 videos have a format of taking turns with licks – I’ll improvise a line using the relevant method and then I’ll leave a space for you to do the same. You can play something similar to my lick or try something different. If you prefer to improvise guitar on your own then you can just use the backing track Mp3 provided instead.
I hope this course enriches your enjoyment of music, helps you develop your creativity and most importantly builds your confidence that you can create a great guitar solo.
This course includes the following:
– 16 page PDF E-Book containing all of the 8 methods and a scales sheet. Each guitar lick example comes with TABs and notation.
– 9 videos (8 ‘jam along’ videos based on each methods and an intro video). Each one suitable as a music video for class or for personal use.
