How to Get “Good” At Improvising on Guitar

Follow-Up Lesson & more on Patreon: ► https://www.patreon.com/andrewclarkeguitar In today's guitar lesson, I want to show you how to get beyond the basics of improvising guitar solos. Many beginner and intermediate guitarists get stuck running up and down scales like the major scale, minor scale, or pentatonic scale with no real direction. In this video, we'll learn how to take our scales and turn them into phrases to solo with. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below.
