As far as like techniques like the best thing is to learn scales learn the patterns and how to do scales and do those runs and then how to jam and then and practice to backing tracks, just jamming and improvising.

And at first you're gonna sound, you're gonna feel like you sound like a baby, right? That's gonna feel weird, but improvising, using scale work is the quickest way to really get to know your instrument and what it's capable of and how it connects to you.
