I found a video on how to improvise, via MartyGuitar! I think that's something I want to learn next, it will help. Those ambient guitar tracks sound like they're fun to make.

I'm not really interested in improv/playing with other people. That is a bit too hard for me at my current level.
When I get my friend's bass... I could do ambient bass tracks? 😮

On a self catering holiday with another musician (saxophonist and Yamaha wind-synth player) once upon a time. I did the cooking but one this occasion said, "Kim, could you just sort the salad while I get the rest sorted?"
I emerged from the kitchen a while later to find 'man salad' or maybe 'muso salad'... obviously put a lot of effort into it... 😂😂
