My current challenge

The above is my attempt to solo over a progression laid down by my teacher. My instructions are to try and solo but hit the arpeggio notes & guide tones on beat 1 of the chord and beat 3 where I can. We started with two bars of each so I had time to get ready to hit the next chord then just one bar between changes which is the version above. It's a simple F G Am G progression.

OMG this is so hard!! As you can see I've gone into my safe little melody territory, I've tried to add in some variation and flavour but even so I still find it a bit obvious and plain - although I was told by my lovely teacher that I'm over thinking which is probably true because I do a LOT!  For now I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time and then build off of that but I have complete admiration for those guitarists who have total control over note choice and can pick at will while still maintaining a rocking sound!

Right now it feels like I'll never get there but a few months ago I couldn't have dreamed of doing even this (the recording) so I'll keep the faith. Push/pull remember 😊
