$http://www.andrewwasson.com/ Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website... Q). When it comes to music my background is total classical. I've only ever read music from off of a sheet-music page. I've never done any improvising at all, but want to. When it comes to theory, it has only been covered as to learning about music and not how to actually make it. I'm feeling really frustrated from this and I was wondering if you could please explain in a video what improvisation truly is? Tamara -- Sydney, Australia A). I have met a good number of classically trained musicians who could not improvise. It often never gets covered in the classical training and therefore, there's a lot of classical musicians out there who get stuck when asked to just make-up something on the spot. So, what is improvisation? ...improvising involves developing a high-level cross-link between music you would hear in your head and how capable you are at getting that music to flow through your fingers. And, all of this has to happen in a fraction of a second. In the video I take a closer look at how this all comes together. As always, Thanks for writing in! ------------------------------------------------------------------ TWITTER FEED: http://twitter.com/andrewwasson ____________________________________ CLOTHING: Visit our Creative Guitar Studio Zazzle page: http://www.zazzle.com/creativeguitarstudio/gifts ____________________________________ OFFICIAL Creative Guitar Studio Products Website: http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/ ____________________________________ ANDREW WASSON - Personal Website: http://www.andrewwasson.com (weekly postings - w/FREE Guitar Handouts) ____________________________________ 2nd YOU TUBE CHANNEL: The Guitar Blog Andrew's Popular GuitarBlog YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/guitarblogupdate ____________________________________ Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Andrew-Wasson/76585035288 ____________________________________ Creative Guitar Studio on Blogspot: http://creativeguitarstudio.blogspot.com/ ____________________________________ MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/andrewwasson _____________________________________$ 00:9:03
