    Just reflecting on your comment. Did you listen to some of my other fingerpicking instrumentals and if so, how did they compare to this one? I’d be very interested to know!

    You've got a clear knowledge of the blues scale in here, I would greatly suggest working on your rhythm and mastery of more of the scales associated with the chords you're trying to play over, so that you have more than 6 notes are your disposal for improvising.

  • @Robrien1162

    I’m not playing over any chords. It’s a scale based short improv.

    @@Robrien1162 Fair enough, but scales and harmony are connected intrinsically! Sounds like E minor blues. Pentatonic blues scale will always work, yes, but scale degree 7 in particular is suuuper important traditionally over the blues, making use of it would step up your lines a lot! And rhythm improvements will help you out hugely, too

    I was able to pick it up in the time your video took, the only thing I struggled with was the timing. Yours sounded much more melodic than mine

  • @Robrien1162
    @Robrien116211 ай бұрын

    Good job, Kirk! The key to the timing is practice. Practice the pattern slowly. That will enable you to focus on the timing. The goal is to get the pattern to be automatic, where you can play the pattern without thinking about it.
