Guitar improvisation the classical way

The most important reason for learning classical guitar improvisation is that it's fun! If you learn classical guitar improvisation it will help you in many ways:

1. It will also help you to better memorize sheet music as you can easier play the things you hear in your head.
2. It will be easier for you to compose your own guitar pieces in a classical guitar style as you already have practiced the art on the go.
3. You will find it easier to make up your own techniqal exercices that are perfecly suited to your needs.
4. You will also understand the guitar fretboard in a better way.

There are many ways to develop this skill. You can start with major scales, experiment with easy chords, or easy classical guitar pieces. The most basic requisite is that you want to learn this art and with this desire you will find ways to practice improvisation in all your guitar playing.

Begin with a very easy melody with just one voice or maybe a two voice piece with bass notes on open strings. Learn a couple of bars by heart and play the melody over and over again and try to change the melody slightly without losing the classical touch.

As you develop guitar improvisation based on classical pieces you can use more complicated pieces. If you think about it you will realize that classical guitar pieces are filled with wonderful licks, more or less complicated. These licks can be developed and added upon to give you material that will help you developing your improvisational skills.
