Hey folks.

I think the lessons here are great. I have a question about improv. Are there any lessons that focus on improv so I can eventually jump in with people and play songs I dont know or can I expect to get that knowledge by learning a bunch of songs?

The rock course also incorporates improvisational concepts into the curriculum.

For a more bluesy take you might have a look at these that show how to target chord tones in pentatonic scale.
