The 4-Note Solo Challenge

>> Box 1 Blues Soloing <<

If having lots of options leads to indecision or confusion in the middle of a solo, then why not strip away every other option and simply focus on a handful of notes, and making them sound good?

That's what we're doing today - give it a shot and let me know how it went in the comments below!

    Hi Steven, I made the jam track myself, so I guess I’m the artist in question!

The first 16-17 notes in George Harrison’s solo on “Something” use precisely this box.

    Great example – many other songs too!

Hey Jonathan!

This is definitely a great way to really utilize soloing. As you are concentrating on “phrasing”. Which is very important in expressing oneself when playing. It’s using the notes to convey a feeling, Like writing a story.
Thanks for your postings!!!

Cheers!!! 🙂
