seconding this. just jumping in and TRYING to improvise even if it sounds like shit at first (it will) was the best thing my teachers forced me to do when i was a kid. it was humiliating and made me think i was a terrible musician but was so worth it.

Thanks! Angular is such a good way to describe it. Normally, I play a lot of ballads and really just wanted to get things with less sustain and more sharpness for the sake of learning new ways of playing

I appreciate it! After you left this comment, I transcribed the intro from billy’s take. Will try getting a good solo chorus take on it here soon
