George Lynch style solo improvising using the Blues scale, Dorian mode and Harmonic minor

@christianfett You play so loud that I have to turn the lesson down, then I can't hear you talk. How about easy does it on the amp? Appreciate you time to do this but...

@theshowmecanuck Sorry, it's not loud...the camera has a built in compressor that is slow to react to my voice. It's tough to get a decent mix without a mixer to seperate the channels.

@christianfett Thanks man! I started with the Pentatonic and the Blues scale just doing this exact exercise. I would record a 1-4-5 progression in either A , E, or G (any good rock key) and then I would start improvising over it to find where I could resolve and end certain licks. Sometimes it is easy to hear and other times you have to push your fingers to time your phrasing. A good song for jamming to is AC/DC's 'She's got the Jack". It works great if you don't have a backing track. Good Luck!

Thanks. It's cool how you can hear the different notes that these guys use to create tension, yet with this you can stay in one position and work off of all 3 scales no problem. Just mix and match the patterns so to speak.
