Acid Jazz Licks

Playing over a repetitive backing track made out of only one or two chords can be quite challenging. That is what this lesson is about. When doing so, you need to be well equipped with an arsenal of licks that will make your improvisation sound more prepared and help you be able to think about what to play next.

We'll be playing in an E Dorian key using a mix of minor pentatonic and chromatic scale ideas.
