Recording yourself improvising over backing tracks can be a great way to improve your electric guitar playing. It’s amazing how much you’ll notice about your playing when listening back to the recordings.
While I recorded myself a lot when I was younger, I’ve been very slack with doing this in recent years. Because of this, I thought it would be fun to start a series of videos called Electric Guitar Noodling. I’ll be posting all of them below, check them out if you have the spare time! 🙂
