Live Masterclass and Q&A over Zoom Meeting
Saturday, April at 4pm ET
The masterclass can be rewatched as many times as you want. All the materials including the video can also be downloaded
Practicing good phrasing is something everyone should work on more. Great phrasing is what helps a solo tell a story and draw people into the music. When someone describes a player as "tasty" they're usually referring to the players sense of phrasing.
In this masterclass, we'll be learning how to phrase with rhythms. Instead of using melodies for hooks and motifs we'll be using rhythms. This is great for organizing your ideas and making a solo sound like it all goes together. I'll be showing you three ways you can practice this over any tune and then opening it up for questions. See ya Saturday!

- Analyzing the progression
