DUDE i got news for you. what you're doing (for the most part) is is playing from a harmonic NOT a melodic perspective. having chords suggest a tune is NOT a melody - except in the parts where you played, "give yourself a way," etc which is obviously the song's melody. to get it straight: the melody 'line' in hey jude or beethoven's fifth - anything stands INDEPENDENT of chords. it's a MUCH more rarified gift!!!
I agree totally with the idea of this lessson. When I see guitarist twiddling around all over the place Id like to ask them if they play a nursery rhyme off the bat. Most cant and darent try. This way Mike is suggesting keeps you on the music. Which is what its all about.
Tyler Guitars are somewhat rare, and very expensive for that matter.Only because of the playability/Intonation/Tone, and feel.Not even Tom Anderson, or Paul Reed Smith have the same vibe going for them.
@guitimad very high level?! this is how i learned to play guitar ! learn pentatonic scales and then play along to your favorite songs after you find out what key they are in... you will dramatically improve

having said that, some good improvisation.

I've practised the same way for ever...best way to get timing, pitch, improvisation, tone, etc. Good uploads.

Try a real simple tune like a beatles song, maybe 8 days a week, you'll probably surprise yourself:-)
