I learned all my major scales and there pentatonic cousins caged system it helped me to break out of the boxes than I started to sing my solos in my head or even sing them out loud like George Benson it improved my solos beyond what I can imagine this is the icing on the cake .Try it start out slow the more you do it the better you,'ll get don't give up it's worth it.

Yes I get it Marcus. This is how it begins.

[@NotRightMusic]

Yes it is! This is also how it ends . . .

Another great lesson. Thanks Marcus! How is it that this channel is not more popular?

[@NotRightMusic]

Thanks Ben! You're awesome! I can't imagine this channel getting popular. It's too niche. Besides, I don't upload videos often enough. Glad you dig it though!

Improvising is like chasing ghosts in the dark on a foogy night but its ok because you can smell them ....just reach into the darkness and grasp around ....your flashlight really cant help, even in pentaonic mode...and stepinng forward in steps of 4 is also useless. When you grip that ghost or even just get a strong wiff ask it to tell you something ....then the rest is EASY ! From then on in its all intutive on.......A journey to the Center of your Mind.

[@NotRightMusic]

What a great way to describe improvising! Time to solo to "Journey to the Center of your Mind" riff!
