Repetition in Soloing

Steve Hubbard
IntermediateAny styleTechnique 4 lessons2m

Hi there! I'd like to start by saying that this tutorial is going to be broken up into several parts. The first part (ex 1-3) is very, very basic. Today, we'll try a few simple licks, that work well when repeated. At a later date, I'll be adding a number of different concepts, with an in-depth breakdown of understanding repetition in soloing - from a phrasing point of view. For now, let's get started with some introductory ideas! *All examples are in the key of E minor.
