Guitar improvisation - phrasing lesson
What does "phrasing"mean ? |
"Put a couple of words together and you have a sentence - put a couple of licks together and you have got a phrase..." Now if you choose your licks carefully, taking the backing (or chord progression) into consideration, your chances of creating a cool phrase increases. Also, the more licks you know - the more phrasing variations you will have. And think about it - who would want to listen to someone who repeats the same sentence over and over again...? You want and need a musical vocabulary! Read on and watch the video to get some quick-tricks to improve your phrasing repertoire. |
Scales for phrasing |
All ideas presented in the video lesson revolve around these scales, so learn them well (mandatory!) - in order to understand the phrasing tricks presented. |
D minor pentatonic - or F major pentatonic scale
