So I know how to feel rhythms now. (Thank you jazz man for the help) I know the pentatonic and I have five of the seven modes down. I've gotten a lot faster at alternate picking and have started practicing legato so I can play fast licks when I'm improvising. But it still sounds very beginnery. Like if I'm trying to improv over an A minor backing track that is using completely diatonic chords I play the A minor pentatonic. But that's it! And it sounds just kinda bland and dull. I feel like I'm missing a core concept for improvisation and music. Like can I use other things than the A minor pentatonic. Like what if a C chord is playing can I use a pentatonic for the C chord? Maybe I don't understand how to best utilize the knowledge that I have. If you have any tips or advice on direction or something about music theory that can help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you for reading and have a nice day <3
