Course Overview
This course brings together your ability to solo and your ability to play accompaniments and tunes.
The previous two courses worked on creative soloing and technical aspects separately. In this course we will synthesize both together and learn to solo over more complex song arrangements. The course consists of a selection of blues tunes with backing tracks. The skills learned in Lead Phrasing and Technical Training will really come into play in this course, and each tune will present a small extra challenge. That challenge could be following a soloing plan that uses specific positions, forcing you to stick to a certain approach and make it work, or it could be a new set of chords that require you to think on your feet and use different target notes or even different scales. During the course the tutor will pick tunes that best suit the ability of the course members. It's also possible to play the different tunes at different levels of complexity, so a single tune can offer many levels of challenge. In relation to the scales flowchart opposite - this course deals with the 'mastery' stage. Go to Home Practice |
