Hey guys,

I wonna ask you something. How do you reach this level of improvisation?... And how do practice escaping your licks (especially the repeating licks that keeps going on the same 3-4 notes). I found out that it's actually a thing im struggeling with in my playing and improvisation...?

It seems like my brain simply can't think that fast, if i have to improvise over this kind of thing. Also the fact that i kind of run out of alternate ways to play the notes (note selection wise)... Even though most of it is just the pentatonics..especially those fast kinda ''on the beat up and down the scale'' kind of notes. One of those passages starts from 2:38 to about 3:03 (that kind of barrage of random notes on the fretboard), The whole solo from 2:20 to 4:20 is actually this kind of random note thing that i just can't seem to get working for myself... Extreme frustration...

Check it and see what im talking about. That improvisation is beyond sick in my oppinion... It depresses me, but makes me motivated at the same time. Just don't know how to practice that stuff. Making your playing sound interesting and somewhat different every time and ''improvised!''
Check it out and see what i mean.

Give me your thoughts. I would love your oppinion!
