First attempts at improvising

Well, the other day I discovered something great. I can use Garage Band to make a backing track and then play some lead over it. So I threw together a backing track I made up earlier in the day, figured out it's key, found that key's major scale and just played along to it.

Any tips or hints? Sounds like crap, I know, but it amazes me that it actually works with the backing track, haha.

You need to bring up the BT so we can hear how well you are following the progression.

Not bad at all, alawiggle. Had some moments of brilliance in there. Couple cringe-inducing notes in there, too. But all in all not bad. Keep it up.

Well done, some nice slides (glissandos - or something, not sure what they are called when you slide into a note) in there. Keep it up.
