Improvising

I want to start some improvising.

I don't know if I will make it since I don't know EVERY scale by heart.

Do you have any tips on building and improvising?

I 've search the forums but no topic for that matter

This is a handy tool to start out. However, you really should learn your scales all over the fretboard if you really want to improvise. Pentatonic is a good start. (Both major and minor)

helped me a lot

Thank you both for replying!

I will check these when I 'll get back from work

Good links, helping me out too. Shame i'm in the middle of exams at the moment though

Listen to other players who improvise. Something I don't do enough! Try some Jaco, Miles Davis, Jeff Berlin live performances where they solo.

Thank you for your links, examined and finally understood NOT TO BE AFRAID at first.
I will start with pentatonic C and Cm and I hope I'll post something neat and nice in return :-)

I like very much Jaco and Wooten but they seem like they are geniuses and I am the dork lol so I wanted to first learn how-to and then try and improvise their sound too!
