      i’ve got an example of an improvisation using a Riff starting in G (1st bar),
      the idea is to use this riff and generate your own notes in the rest of the 11 bars.
      in my case, being stuck for ideas, i used a Riff in C and a Riff in D and reused these
      same Riffs for the corresponding chords, these are riffs given to me by my teacher.

      But what i was hoping that other people might provide Riffs, that i can try out.
      But my goal is to start generating my own Riffs.

        I should have generated some unique 2 bar riffs, for bars 3&4 , 5&6 and 7&8 instead.
        But for a novice starting out i had to make do with reusing the existing 1 bar riffs.

        I was asked to start out using next door notes when improvising, rather than
        jumping all over the place. What i need to do now, is to start coming up with my
        own ideas. shall start that on thursday and have to write them down before they
        disappear into the ether.
