Oh man...there is so much stuff you can learn I don't even know where to begin. If you're not familiar with it, now might be a good time to dive into modal theory. For guitarists, it's a fundamental thing to know. See if you can find the June 2000 issue of Guitar One. There is an article called "Mastering the Modes" in it that is fabulous.

While there is no substitute for a good guitar teacher who knows his stuff, this is a good starting point for theory.

There are endless things to learn: how chords are made, soloing over a given progression, non-diatonic scales, general music theory...the list goes on.

I think that once you ground yourself a bit in any type of theory, you're improvisational skills will grow by leaps and bounds.

Anyway...find that issue of Guitar One!
