Tip 72: Jam With Your Favourite Album

Looking for ways to practice creative soloing? Put on your favorite album and jam along. Figure out the key, then the chords, then try playing a lead part that echoes the melodic features of the song.

It’s easier to improvise based on these melodies that you know well than to improvise new melodies when you’re playing with other musicians, so this can help you start thinking of your soloing melodically.
