About Me

A&P mechanic, Pilot and mechanic instructor for the Piper Malibu/Mirages since 1991 before returning to school to become an educator in 2001.  Dual certified Special Ed & Social Studies 6-12 educator since 2001 in CA and PA.  Motorcycle Safety Coach for the state of PA since 2004.  Scuba Certified since 2010.

Played acoustic guitar since 1990 and played bass in several bands from 2004-2008.  Wife bought me an Ibanez AM93AYS for 2011 Christmas and is allowing me to pursue my passion of playing leads in a band.  So, I'm looking for a good instructor to teach me.  Do you know of anyone?  ;-)

Married for 19 years with two wonderful teenager (14yr old daughter and 16yr old son).  Just bought son a very nice Ibanez 5-string bass guitar and he's using my 1/2 stack bass amp for gigging with the local church.

Sounds like several of us here have a wonderful wife as mine allowed me to pick my Christmas present.

Ibanez AM93AYS

For now, I'm using an old Peavey amp, but am looking into a Line-6 Flextone II or III or, if the right deal comes along, a Line-6 Vetta.

Though I haven't experimented with too many guitars, what few I have, this one is the best fit for me!

Stumbled on your site here while searching for forums that may assist me to improv.

Played acoustic off and on for 20+ years as a rhythm guitarist, and bass for the local church and a garage band several more years, but never learned to improvise leads or melodies.

Made a resolution to memorize the Major, Minor, Blues, Pentatonic, Mixolydian, and Dorian scale structure, and there respective arpeggios in all 7 modes as a gesture of my commitment to learning improvisation. My wonderful wife also bought me an Ibanez Artcore AM93AYS, which is as BEAUTIFUL visually as it is audibly.

I see that a few here take a chord approach to melodies. Would anyone be willing to assist/point me to more information regarding chord style improvisation?

Hoping to glean insights from you all here.

Thanks in advance

Rick
