Lick of the Week
Challenge!
Record your version of this, depending on what’s doable for you, either…
In the original key (C Major over a G7)
In a few other keys
Inside an improvisation over a standard
Or as we did last night in practise club, see below…
We worked on this one in practise club last night.
We took the pattern that this line is based on and played it all the way through all the chords in the C major scale, helping us understand why the melody works and how we can use it.
What does this do?
Helps us navigate the major scale with patterns and enclosures
Drills the sound into our ears and fingers
Serves as a technical exercise for our left hand
