How To Improvise Using Nothing But An Acoustic Guitar (PART 1)

This lesson is great for beginners to guitar or beginners to improvisation.

This is a lesson I do with my students in person. It requires a lot of teacher and student interaction. Especially for improvising the ideas stated.
I thought this would be a good challenge for me and I was curious to see how it would translate to video.
I can’t say I’m entirely satisfied with how it turned out, but I do feel it gets the message across.
I’d love to hear if you benefited from it.

I really like this channel. keep up the video flow if you can because there are not many good improv channels as there should be.

I just have some technical and practice issues to fix
but I myself am going all out into improv.

Actually really like this. I have been doing improv freestyles and acoustic myself and it's helped me see beauty in life learning every day and won't stop I hadn't realized what I was doing just depressed and decided to put strings on a guitar to discover I have been doing improv but it's amazing and eventually I'll have songs but for now I record 100% improv vocals and acoustic. Addicted indeed but it saved me.
This video is EXACTLY how I started . Don't exist yet but NoFaceForFame it's not about what it is too someone else. We can't lose sight of what we do for ourselves.
Passion. Music. Art :)

Exactly the way I figure out cool chords on the guitar :D Just taking a chord and playing the same shape somewhere else on the neck.

[dudeabides]

that‘s an asus2 chord though and not an A9 technically

I like this method best. It clearly makes sense how to just start playing. but how do I fix my rhythm?
