      An intermediate/advanced solo that focuses on the use of simple phrases to create interesting solos.


    Hello GMCers

    Welcome to the fourth dynamics and phrasing lesson. This backing track for some reasons inspires me to play for hours, it kind of has a retro feel, and it is perfect for exploring the Dorian Blues scale.

    Many times when improvising I start by placing my hand in the commonnly overused minor pentatonic shape. It is easy, safe and sounds good, then I built the solo around this shape in different octaves and adding a few notes.

    You could play it safe by playing G Minor but you would miss so much. Explore the G Dorian, Blues, chromatics work fine as well when done with taste.

    Look at the first video for a spoken explanation on very simple but useful phrasing and dynamics ideas.
