how do you improvise a solo and when you improvise a guitar solo, do you know what its going to sound like.?

Question

when i improvise, it has so rhytym. is there so kind of secret?

Answer 1

There are canned flourishes and tricks that guitarists use and they know how those are going to sound. Or, if you start on a note and play the scale, you know that.

But a good improvisational riff shouldn't have any of that. Usually you just play around, find something, maybe repeat it. Try to play as much of the melody as you can and yes, play the notes in the same rythem. Then it sounds so much better when you depart from it.

Answer 2

A person improvises by taking some sort of structure and doing variations on it. If part of a group, then the structure is the music that the group is playing that the solo is part of.
The solo may continue the rhythm of the piece, may do variations on the melody, may play against the tone of the piece or may involve doing the piece transposed (as when a trumpeter takes the melody up two octives.)
A "good" improvisation connects to what is going on rather than fighting with it or wandering off in some odd way.

Answer 3

when you want improvise a solo you always want to stay on the key that the song is. for example. on the song stairway to heaven jimmy page stays on the key of A, the key that the song is, now in the solo he starts by playing the penatonic scale on the key of A. also when u get really used to the guitar you kinda have an idea or a feeling were the song is going and how its going to sound, that depends on the mood of the song.

so when you solo you can play all the notes in the key that the song is

Answer 4

The secret is a perfect pitch, and lots of talent, no they don't know what this is going to sound like until they play it, but in their head they have some idea, that's what improvising is, they know what notes and chords sound good in progression, that to me is a talent all it's own !!!!!! I admire people who can do that !!!!!!!!
