About This Video
After getting the Sire Larry Carlton H7F, I made this video to practice improvising along with a backing track I found on YouTube. I played the YouTube backing track through a speaker while running the guitar through an amp simulator and an audio interface. The video was recorded on a smartphone.

My Playing
One of my current goals is to be able to improvise lines that are as melodic as the vocal melody. With this in mind, I tried not to play too much while still keeping a distinctive guitar character in my phrasing. However, I still tend to fall back on familiar phrases, so another challenge is finding ways to make those phrases work naturally and connect them into the overall solo.
