Guitar Improvisation for Musicians

This is a 3 sentence summary of Andy Wood's 12 bar improvisation: The improvisation is in standard tuning and outlines a standard 12 bar blues progression with chords I, IV, and V at a tempo of 120 beats per minute. It provides chord tones, scales, and licks to improvise over each chord change in the progression. The notation indicates string and fret positions for melodic ideas, rhythmic phrasing, and techniques like slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs to incorporate into an improvised solo.
