Stumbled across this competition in a forum and thought the track was pretty happening! Has been years since I entered something like this (last time I felt compelled was for the Greg Howe ones). Couldn't resist the groove (nor the prices ;) So, check it out and happy competing guys!

@vavrzyn Thanks mate! you got tons of really cool stuff on your channel bro! Loved the Freaky Guitar Jam vid :D

Actually some of your open string lines there reminded me of my my own tune "NeoBlues" search "richard lundmark les paul" in YouTUbe and you will find it =)

@crx1vtec Thanks mate! and thanks for the add as well!

this is really cool. what advice would you give to someone who is solely at the stage of improvising with the minor pentatonic right now?

[fretdance]

@thej0hnson Another key topic would be timing and note value alteration. It's also a huge topic, but for a simple example; take a simple lick sequence (like a Gilbert lick or something) and then superimpose a different rhythm on top of this. The actual topic is very, very vast, and even though I'ver made tons of lessons on the subject, you can only find free stuff at ShredAcademy (for now)

@ajlapiana, although the contest is over you can still download the track if you want at guitarcontrol -(dot) com slash contest... thx

[ajlapiana]

Where can I find the backing track to that

[fretdance]

@thej0hnson Thanks mate!

Hard to give advice on such a HUGE topic in the confines of a YT-comment. But a short and simple tip would be to start with a blues, and choose to target various chord notes in the changes. For ex. When changing to the IV-chord in A (D7) try landing on the the third (F#). That way you target the chord, and are now in the A dorian mode (in relation to the root). AND, SING what you play!! Can't stress this enough, that will improve your phrasing something fierce!
