Have you ever wanted to learn how to improvise but were unsure how to do it? You don't need to know all the notes on the fretboard or memorize all your scales in order to play a solo. In this workshop, you will begin by tapping into your intuitive brain and learning to improvise using colors to represent emotions. You'll also learn how to create musical phrases starting with just 3 notes. 

Don't know what to play or tired of playing the same old down-up-down-up strums?
