Back in February I watched a webcast by Stuart Bull - Lick Library's founder - and he had great advice for guitar players learning to solo:
I love that analogy! If we all quit talking to the opposite sex after the first attempt failed, there'd be a lot fewer people on the planet!Stuart Bull wrote: Q. Do you have any tips on improvisation?
A. My main tip on improvisation is doing be afraid to be terrible. The reason that people find improvising is hard, is that the first time you start you aren’t going to sound that great. It’s like chatting up a girl, if you think you’ve said something rubbish you’re not going to want to say anything else and that’s the same with improvising, if you start… and you don’t play something good, you tend to give up. You have to go through that barrier and keep going back.
Anyone else have advice that has stuck with them?
