I would like to learn more about how to begin improvising a solo over chord progressions in rock and blues. Do you use sets of licks pieced together to form a solo? How do you follow the chord changes to make it sound right? Basically what goes on in the mind of a experienced player when they are improvising. What are the steps to take to begin improvising?

I just saw your post about the extended rhythm course idea. I think it is a great idea. I have realized that a strong foundation in rhythm and timing is the first thing to master in they journey of learning guitar. I have mostly been playing bluegrass on acoustic and recently have had the urge to get back into playing electric and work on my rock rhythm and timing techniques. I look forward to what you have to offer in the rhythm course.

I am so glad to see you talk about the importance of counting and feeling the rhythm. So many other guitar instructors do not teach it. This is a very helpful lesson!
