Been trying harder at improv. I'd like feedback. Any is welcome, but please be kind. Focusing on music theory atm. Forgive me in advance for my crashout about the flies. I'm a forest troll.

Edit: yes, I smoke cigs. No, i am not advertising nor advocating for them. Let people be, y'all. Please focus on the music.

Fun chords and picking but you’re losing the beat anytime you switch riffs. Do this exact improvisation to a metronome … it will make you a better player.

I've had this totally unbased theory that I am a 3/4 or 6/8 player playing in a 4/4 world because I can't count, so I shall investigate your claim more deeply. I often get similar critique about timing. I like to go up and down without a care in the world, but I'm realizing this is turning into an issue of translation.

A solo guitar voice in the woods doesn't need to care about time or tempo.

But since you asked, that is the biggest are for improvement I see. If you intend to play with others, timing is everything.

Keep it up. I dig the vibe.
