    Hey JB, šŸ™‚

    Some really nice ideas! šŸ˜‰ Smoking technique (sweeps & bursts.) I also like how you mixed “space” into your phrasing (I need to work on that!!!) Anyways, the only thing I could even add that perhaps you could maybe improve on, would just be some more harmonic variety, and perhaps less repetition on some of the specific sweep and burst-licks (although they were very cool!) BTW, kudos to you for using an relatively (and appropriately) “clean” tone here! I think that a “creamy-distortion-type” tone could work, but I think you’re cleaner tone was better and more articulate! šŸ˜Ž

    All-in-all, you did an excellent job here JB! Keep up the good work bro! šŸ˜‰

    Excellent stuff man, improvising for more than 5 mins! šŸ˜®

    I noticed the cam was limited starting from the 7th fret onwards. Is this a technical problem or perhaps you were limiting your playing from 7th fret onwards? I’ve heard that putting constraints on where you should improvise physically on the fretboard can help the improvisational skills. šŸ˜€

    That is definitely true. As long as you also give plenty of practice time to improvising over the entire fretboard. Sometimes it’s even interesting to limit yourself to only a couple individual notes. It doesn’t necessarily always sound the best, but it can help force you to learn how to play more creatively with limited options.
