Berglmir30th September 2009*SIGH* - what a great lesson! And as it is always the case with your lessons I have the feeling that your lesson grading is missing the second digit!
My personal goal is to be able to play these lessons of yours!
Thanks for the challenge!!
AlexLion30th September 2009What an icredible feeling You have! You play so great, and in all Your Phrasing lessons there are really nice backing tracks, and this is really important, people could jam for a long time and not be bored

You are welcome, as far as the second digit you mean something like 5.2?, It is sometimes hard to grade lessons something that is a 5 for me might be a 3 for someone else or vice versa
Glad you enjoy my lessons
Rock On
What an icredible feeling You have! You play so great, and in all Your Phrasing lessons there are really nice backing tracks, and this is really important, people could jam for a long time and not be bored
Thanks for that, that is how I feel about these backings, glad to see you feel the same way - Berglmir30th September 2009
In my case it´s really vice versa - what´s a 5 to YOU is a 15 to ME.
That´s what I meant with the second digit missing!
Cheers nevertheless!! ;-)

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.
