The Improvisation Myth

http://www.steviesnacks.com - In this 20 minute lesson, I'll attempt to diffuse a common myth about improvisation, and explain in a very practical way, how improvising on guitar is very much like talking without a script. I'll break guitar solos down into 4 parts and explain how one missing part that we don't think about often can be the key to learning how to improvise.

Most guitarists just rehash licks anyway (including this guy), so I'd say that this improvising-at-lick-level thing is what sets great guitarists apart.

That's why bands like say, "The Tractors" or perhaps "Boston" (and I'm sure you can name others), didn't continue to develop as a band. They couldn't (or wouldn't) break away from their own mold. Either because of a lack of desire, time, .....whatever it was.........they ceased to sound "unique." What catches "my" attention with regard to those who I admire, is their ability to grow, to change, to develop. Uniqueness helps at the beginning, but is not that which carries my attention.
