Everything I play is improvised to some extent, and as someone stated above, it's difficult to explain how to do this. Mainly because my fingers do it, not me. If I try to think about it, I'll screw it up.
However, learn to play some partials up the neck that incorporate open strings, mostly related to the A and D chords and their respective minors. This will enable you to take a line up the fretboard rather than across it, particularly when you run out of options in the first position. This is not the entire answer, or even a key to one, but it is a place to start. |

1 rst step: learning your major scale, pentatonic scale, see how they relate to each other and so on... 2 ND step: scale harmonization, which means understanding how chords are related to scales, which allows you to understand which chords fit together or not. 3 Rd step: having fun with reversing your chords, trying different combinations, enlight the chords with extra notes from the scale, developing your technique also allowing you to play what you intend to play. Don't forget about rhythm practice and exploration, as it can add much to your music. Then just keep learning about degrees, exotic scales, 4 and 5 notes chords, triads, tetrades and so on... You'll find bunches of explanations on Google

It looks like a lot of Toby Walker's courses teach fingerstyle blues improvisation. You may want to check him out.

Here is a short series of free fingerstyle improvisations that I performed at Museum Station here in Sydney. Sometimes the sounds of the city are the background to the sounds of the guitar, sometimes the sounds of the guitar are the background to the sounds of the city, and sometimes the sounds of the city and the sounds of the guitar are in conversation.

That piece of Fahey's is truly wonderful, so these are serious props. I had not heard any of Fahey's situated pieces until now, so I have some exploring to do, no? |
