  • Don't just practice scales. Practice melodic ideas that you could use in compositions or while improvising. I will demonstrate some ideas of how to do this.

    Such a great lesson, and doesn't matter whether you're brand new at it or an experienced musician, you can can take this one to heart. I've found there's really only two ways music comes to me - either it just pops in my head randomly and uninvited (and if so, better record it or tab it out before it's gone out of your head for good), OR you make some accidental discovery while warming up or practicing and go "wait a minute.. what did I just do and where can this take me?" I worked out a whole new tune once just sitting there practicing e phrygian dominant. Stumbled on some phrasing I liked while practicing that, and ended up with a 4 minute instrumental. :)

I have already learned the positions and have started practicing them and using them as springboard ideas to create new arpeggios for my own music. Thank you very much, Rick!

      Yes that's it ! I'm in the same position and after all those years hanging around at something else than guitars I'm starting all over. I realized I wasn't on the right track playing for almost a whole day and then doing nothing else during a whole week after that... exept staring at the guitar... Now I decided I'd play several short sessions (even only just a few minutes) in the same day, every day, because there are many benefits to that gym : in particular music keeps on working within you by subconscious channels. And another benefit is that the more often you put your arm forward to grab your guit, the less difficult it will be the next time...
