Here’s a suggested practice routine for Module 19. Enjoy it!

In this module (and also 18 I think) Justin suggest improvising using the Major scale. In module 17 he links to https://www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/major-scale-improvisation-bg-1006 for the improvisation.

So for 18 and 19 are we to use the 3 thinnest strings (C major scale) or the full major scale with all strings?

I’d advocate keeping it to the thinner 3 strings. Not only that most solos or impros are played there but restricting yourself to a limited number of notes will be more beneficially from a melody perspective. When @Richard_close2u wrote his wonderful set of Mode tutorials, all the exercises were squeezed into a tiny area of the neck. It works wonders for exploratory practice and you soon learn what works and what doesn’t.

MHO YMMV

Thanks for that Toby. Thought that would be the case but wanted to check.

Are you able to have a backing track audible as you play along yet?
If yes - great - it is essential for this.

I am and having been using the JG BT for this for a few days now. It’s a lot easier with the AI and headphones!

I’ve said this before but it still feels like playing random notes/sequences with no real joined up thinking to this.
