INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A backing track includes a single note or chord played over a drumbeat or other rhythm. The backing track helps focus your improvisation. Backing tracks are available online for free. Check YouTube or guitar websites. Start with a backing track for a scale progression you know. For example, if you know G Major, look for a backing track with the G Major chord. If you're just starting out with improvisation, choose a rhythm that you like and are familiar with. For example, if you usually listen to heavy metal music, you might find yourself confused by when or how to improvise to a backing track with a bossa nova rhythm. You don't need to know every note and every scale on your guitar before you start improvising. Once you have one scale progression memorized, you can start doing simple improvisations with just the notes in that scale. Improvising on a single scale is also a good way to solidify your muscle memory of that scale progression. In general, you always want to return to the root note of the scale. If you end on another note of the scale, you introduce suspense or tension. Try moving the scale progression up or down your fretboard and improvise from that spot. You may find new possibilities simply from moving your hand, or you may find that one position on the fretboard is more comfortable for you than others. Play a recording of a song and follow the chord progression, simply strumming the chords. Then, start to improvise by arpeggiating the chord or adding phrases from scales. Following the chord progression of the song may also give you room to mix phrases from the melody of the song into your solo. Matching your pattern to the song's chord progression gives your improvisation a strong connection to the song itself. Now when you improvise, you're playing with the song, not over top of it.

SUMMARY: Find a backing track to practice improvising over. Start improvising using the notes of a single scale. Match your pentatonic pattern to the song's chord progression.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Transfer the peppercorns, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds to a mortar and crush into a powder using a pestle. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you could also grind the spices with a coffee grinder or the side of a knife. If using a coffee grinder, make sure to clean the machine well before using it for coffee. If using a knife, crush the seeds and peppercorns into powder by smashing them on a cutting board with the side of your knife, using the heel of your hand to apply pressure to flat side of the blade from the other side. Toss the ground peppercorns, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds together with the red pepper flakes, allspice berries, mace, crushed cinnamon sticks, crushed bay leaves, cloves, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Make sure that the spices all appear evenly distributed throughout the entire mixture. Set aside for the pastrami brine. Place the rest of the pickling spice in a resealable plastic container and store until needed for another recipe. The spices can be stored at room temperature.

SUMMARY: Grind the seeds. Combine the ground seeds with the other spices. Remove 3 to 4 Tbsp (45 to 60 ml).
