Yes keep em coming dude with all your ideas you mentioned.

Hey Uncle Ben awesome job, these are great and you should definitely keep doing them!! I was wondering though if you would be able to post/link the backing tracks you used?

I think you should continue with your improv! It's inspirational for someone like myself. And, yes, I'd love to see some slide action! Dissonance is a thing in playing. Lots of times it's due to mistakes, but it can also be very 'voice-like.' Hearing someone speak is often rife with musical dissonance. Yet another reason to own it! Turn it into 'conversation' on the fly? Question for you, Uncle Ben. From your perspective, has the improv schedule been a boon to your playing or to your confidence? Or both?

Suran

Yes! I'm into it! Beginner though I am, I have finally, this last week, been sort of comfortable with improvs of my own.

Uncle Ben, there is a backing track I absolutely couldn't improve to. My son gave me a hint or two and I ended up writing my lead over it, but I certainly wouldn't call it an improvisation. If you're interested, say so, and I'll give you the backing track. It's different from anything you have done this month, I think, and I'm curious what you'd do with itm

Suran

I know Ben says where to find the track at the beginning of each segment

Sounding great dude! Inspiring me to give it a shot. Maybe even just for a week to start

Chris Anderson

Very cool project and inspirational. I'd love to see you doing some slide-oriented ones. I suck at slide but have really thought about getting better at it lately and you sure have a knack for teaching.

Mark Bourne

Good times! Slide would be awesome- i’d love to see your approach to traveling Riverside blues-

First and foremost, Congrats Uncle Ben for embarking on this improv odyssey, seeing it thru to the end, and taking us along for the ride. Would enjoy seeing more of these. My improv "trick" is to pretend you are scoring a scene from a movie. You can feel your mind expanding when you try outside of your comfort zone stuff, like working a Lydian scale motif into something from an Argento movie. Cheers!

Thanks for modeling good learning habits! The fluidity of your playing has increased markedly since the first few!
