Improvising, yes that is the dream that every beginner has, how can i make my own solo?  how can i make my own melody? how can i build more on what i already play? The answer to this is a lot of practise and learning all the scales possible. i will break down the whole process in three simple steps, and these steps will help you get started

Step-1-Scale
————–

over here the quest is the A minor pentatonic scale. This is one of the most widely used scale in rock music. Breaking it down, Penta means “five” and tonic refers to tones. So, we have a five-tone minor scale. Play this scale a few times to get it memorized and till the time that u can even play it if u are sleeping!!!

Step-2-Rhythm
————–
take the chords that lie in the scale, and make someone play them in the background. Over here we have a A minor pentatonic scale and its parent scale, A natural minor, contain the notes to build several chords. The A minor chord that is found among the scale is an ideal chord to play along with this scale.
So get a backing track over which u can solo

Step-3-Time to Play
——————-
Now that you know the scale and have someone to play in the background, its time to make our solo
1)with the chords in background, just play the scale up and down and listen to what it sounds like
2)now play the same scales but this time, let a few notes ring a little longer and play some of the notes faster than others
3)apply bends, slides, vibratos in the notes and see how the sound changes
4)now mix up the notes, play anything u want keeping yourself in the scale, be creative
take a look at this example

Just remember you don’t want to play a scale up and down again and again, you want to improvise over them and make some music. Remember, it’s not magic. You can do it, and before you know it, you’ll be soloing like an old pro.
