It's one thing to be able to play a fancy TAB at a jam, and get the rush of satisfaction from delivering a good lead when it's your turn. But its another feeling entirely to be able to improvise a lead on the spot, using all the licks and tricks that the hot pickers use. That, friends, is a truly amazing feeling. But how can you learn to do this? By working with our Improv Tools series, where we break down a lead break into all the elements, so you can use them again in other songs. This approach will power boost your playing into a whole new level, and you will be able to build a collection of "tools" such as licks, scale patterns, Carter style playing and more, and use them on the spot to create blazing improvised solos.

Bryan –
This is a great lesson. The more I watch, the more I learn and I’ve been working on this one for months. I’ve been able to apply the crosspicking skills that I learned from this lesson and apply them in other scenarios. Just what I was looking for – thanks!
