Improvisation, especially with diatonic arpeggios, is to me the most important element of good musicianship and guitar-ship. Being able to create music on the spot means that you understand the intellectual, emotional, and technical aspects of the musical culture you are in.
I hope you enjoy delving deeper into my personal approaches to improvisation using diatonic arpeggios, and journey alongside me to becoming better musicians and guitarists.
