29 total minutes of demoing and practicing how to build up your imagination to jam. I use two songs from my fascination with jamming. From laying the loop, to learning chords, to choosing the soloing machine, these will get you feeling amazing when improvising to any song. Hope You Enjoy!

Ok, so I just wanted to write this comment so the central idea of this video is clear. The guitarists we all worship did not have backing tracks to play with. They either had their imagination or a band. Although backing tracks are a good way to, learn and confirm your ideas (Scale choice, approach, and rhythm), no matter how good they are, and there a ton to choose from online, you will ALWAYS be following them, and ALWAYS be putting the weight of your performance on how well you line up with the track. You will always be at the mercy of the tempo chances, mode changes, volume changes, etc. You will always have a predictive mindset. It is why jamming to a backing track seems stale sometimes.
In order to really improvise and feel how the music should change with your feel, it is very important to sometimes put the backing track down and play to the concert in your head. This method puts you in the LEAD, as in lead guitar. As you play to your tempo, your heart beat, your comfort level, you can use your imagination and chord changes in your head to move the music with you. In a Jam Band scene, you always are going to be implying the chord changes in the jam, so as long as your soloing reflects that, and you feel the freedom of being in charge, then mission accomplished. Trust me, you need to have/hear the music in you at all times.
