Nice. Always enjoy David's lessons. I tend to use the play a line twice then play a variation of that line style of improvisation. And leave lots of gaps (or "time to think" as I call it:-) ). Loved the linked video about his views on gear and the story of that beautiful old guitar

Lots of good advice. Absolutely agree that phrasing is so important. I'd also throw in a thought about when lots of different scales are involved in your improvisations, and you're wanting to expand from using just the blues scale within those. It's hugely useful to have either "trained" your ears through experience or by tuition, so you can properly hear what's been and being played, and you use your right-brain creative processes to decide where to go next so you can automatically play what you need with no logical thought. Logical thoughts get in the way of improvisation for me, except in regard to deciding on an overall general structure and also whether to repeat or return at some point to something that sounded good. Love it when the phrase, progression or line that sounded good turned up by accident in the first place and was a nice surprise! delb0y - agreed - play the silence too - time for you the player (and the audience) to think and take a breath.
