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.

So you have your first guitar and you are very excited, but you wondering how should i start playing?
So, First the most important thing that you have to remember is that guitar is no magic instrument you have to work hard in order to be a good musician, after hours a daily work and years of practise will you be able to succeed in your goals. I will not lie to you mastering guitar can take you the rest of your life, but even this will happen if you constantly practise and practise and practise…

A few things that you should know about your guitar–Pluck a single string any one, What you hear is called a note. This is a simple note and every note has its name represented by a letter of the alphabet (A through G only) and sometimes the notation “#,” which means “sharp” or “b,” which means “flat.”So when you see this “F#,” it means “F sharp.” “Bb” would be read as “B flat.” In western music, there are twelve possible names for all the notes.

Now every time you pluck a string you get a note, u get different notes when u place your fingers on the fretboard, which has frets(which is a space on the fretboard between any two metal strips) you create a new note. Now when you listen to songs you here a rhythm going on behind these are called the Chords and are basically a lot of notes put together and played in one single strike. You can also play individual notes , which come in handy when you play a solo/lead.

A player should always keep this in mind that as great a tool that internet is for learning anything, one should always rely more on books and teachers, a teacher can explain you a lot more and in a very better way. Even if it’s only to learn how to hold the guitar and to put your fingers on the fretboard.
