ADVANCED IMPROVISING
im not going to give you a long speech
Jon how to improvise, I'm just going to
ive you the space and framework to
try t yourself. What follows is an excerpt
from one of my unreleased instrumen-
tals,called “The Eight Steps.” I's a good
rogression to test your improvising
skills as well as your abilty to blend two
‘and three-octave scale forms around
the fretboard. The scales used are: E
Lydian, G Lydian, B Lydian, E Dorian
and B minor (these last two scales are
related to each other, as well as to G
Lydian—see manuscript). Follow the
‘scale suggestions written for each two
bbar phrase. You can check my Guitar
Secrets #26 and #27 (Photographic
Memory, Parts 1 and 2) for complete
two and three-octave scale forms
Each chord should be freely arpeg-
giated, allowing the notes to sustain in
harmony. The most important thing to
remember, though, is to make music.
Use the scalesimodes to create the king
