They have some great challenges on strat-talk.com. The idea is to listen to the backing track then hit record and play to it. Unless its a simple blues my improv skills aren't up to that. I usually have to record several takes and pick the best one or sometimes I play to it for a day or so then hit record and do one take. The last challenge had me stymied. I tried for days then finally recorded something and posted it yesterday. Today I wasn't happy with it so I recorded another go at it. I wasn't happy with this one either. Then I played back both recordings at the same time. It's a bit cluttered in spots but both takes together sound better than either alone.
