Question: Guitar Solo Improvisation!?
Hi, I want to learn how to improvise guitar solos better!. I know all the notes to hit, I just need to know some good techniques!. Can anyone help me out please!? Any websites that tell you this, preferably with good warm ups to increase speed and accuracy!?

also how do you make your fingers more grippy, so bending becomes easier!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
To increase speed and accuracy go back and forth up and down the scales as many times as you possibly can, maybe even get finger weights!. A technique that I use is to just play a chord progression, and then start on that chord's note on the solo (A,F,C,D, Etc!.) Then just play random notes in the scales, and let them flow, it will all come natural eventually!. BTW, I bend with all of my fingers, I think that it is rubbish when the teachers tell you to only bend with your third finger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Use squealies ( if you dont know what they are or how to use them check out justinsandercoes guitar lesson on pinch harmonics on you tube) and vibrato and maybe put some scale stuff in there and with regards to bending keep practising your fingers will become tougher and have more grip, and make sure to keep your fingers diagonal not vertical when bending that will make bending 5 times easier!. And finaly
remember keep practising and dont worry about speed cause it comes easy as long as you practice!
