I'm the improvising type but I'm so limited that it always come down to the same old same old, no matter what song it is.
Also, sometimes the other members of the band will look at me with their jaws on the floor. Apprerantly, when that happens, I just blow them away with my playing. (relatively speaking, of course. I'm no Steve Vai even in my best moments)
Then there are other times where they just don't want to be in the same room.
So, it looks like I'm able to play well and hit notes properly.
Why can't I be consistent?
That got me thinking, would I be better off having worked out solos then just trying to improvise?
What is your take on this?
