What to do when inspiration is not there, but you still need to deliver cool lead lines? - In this lesson we will look at some of my go-to tools, that work for me even when creativity has dried up:
* Developing a melodic motif
* Fixing your playing mistakes on the fly
* Using 7 chord arpeggios for note targeting
* Maj7 arpeggio - dreamy lines
* Dom7 arpeggio - decisive lines
* The major scale emergency mode
* The pentatonic scale emergency mode
* How sound matters
* Don't think, feel! How to optimise your mindset for a great performance.
