How to Play Solos and Improvisation for Guitar Players

Learning guitar is somewhat a tough job when you are doing it all by yourself. However it is always a good idea to get some proper guitar classes but also you can try online lessons but that method is a bit slow. Another drawback of learning guitar, on your own, is that you may not find the query that you have on your mind at the moment and you have to search through many handbooks and articles across the web. But history give us proof that many great musicians have learnt to play different instruments on their own without any proper guidance, at first.

In guitar players, beginners and pro, solos guitar performances is like a dream come true when they can get the secret of solos improvisation and make their own guitar techniques and many people starve to get hang of it as fast as they could to make their name in pro guitarists of their town. But the problem is that it is not an easy game to learn and develop different solo improvisation with your, acoustic or electric, guitar.

Reason Why Most Guitar Players Fail in Solos Improvisation:

As the fewer of playing guitar reaches to its limit, many beginner guitarists find interesting things and successfully learn most of them. Then they move to create their own jam by pairing with other drummers, keyboard players or guitarists that are just starting out. During the period of learning different riffs and licks of guitar, they develop a good sense of current music and now what is in but they may not pay attention in practicing that particular technique like how to improvise in that particular technique and this is the ultimate reason that they stuck in between while making their jam track most of the time.

How to Improvise Solo:

If you are not sincere in learning the ultimate and in-depth skills of guitar then it might be a ‘wild goose chase’ for going after it but if you are determined to give it a quite reasonable time all along the day, or night, then learning the key of making jam tracks or developing your own techniques is not difficult.

Just follow these simple tips and practice them again and again until you get the desired results

·         First of all, pick specific chords of your guitar and practice solos on them over and over again so that you know where your fingers are when you speed up yourself while playing guitar.

·         Then select an easy riff that you can easily recall while playing the guitar and keep the process in flow.

·         After selecting your desired riff, repeat playing guitar on your selected chords and get yourself used to it by playing it again and again.

Now, when you are familiar with each and every technique of that riff on those specific chords, it is time to play with it and make you own music on your guitar.

·         After memorizing every note and move of riffs and chords, try to modify them but make sure you may not alter them at once. Instead, try to modify in pieces like you can play the riff in same way it is and alter it while ending it.

·         In the same way, you can change the movements of your finger tips when pressing frets or strumming the strings etc.

By using the same technique, you can create different riffs and licks of your own rather than sticking to that particular riff that you used previously to learn the skill playing solo guitar. Try different lick and alter its specific parts and practice on it until you get yourself mastered in it and able to identify the right positions where you can put your own notes and apply techniques that you developed all by yourself. Learning to play solos and creating different jam tracks using a normal guitar is not a tough thing but all it needs is practice and focus.
