hm. Improvisation on any pentatonic scale is a bit simple. Throw in power chords, the two natural shapes, mix it up a bit. add a few little run ups, a few little riffs. improvising is something which you learn as you play guitar more, not a series of notes contained within one template.
he is basically playing over a eminor chord with the Gmajor pentatonic scale which gives a nice sound. you can also play an aminor chord with a Cmajor pentatonic scale which is my favorite try it out.
Thanks man this really did help me because I already knew the e minor pentatonic scale in this position. I've only been playing a few months with no instruction so litle things like this really help.
Have played for 1 month now, getting interested in learning improvisation, i probably will be going to watch this vid with my guitar in my lap tomorrow ;)
that is my problem too i always think that i cant play the same note twice and then when i go to my guitar lessons i choke because it looks goofy and doesnt sound good
this shit is great man! thanks alot for this..
rock on!

so.
lets say if i am tryin to improvise the a song.
a key of Am. and right after Am its a D..
so do i try improvise Am and D.??
or just the main key, Am?
xgedokid1412 2 years ago
Either one would be fine. You could use an Am scale and then a D major scale. Or you can stay in the key of Am. That way you create some tension.
lfulord 2 years ago
if you want more complex sounds, try soloing off of both chords the Am and the D.
for example on the Am you could play Am Harmonic Minor scale and when the transition switches to D you could start playing D minor scale.
but if you wanna solo over all chords, use the A minor pentatonic scale.
