We'll explore how these five-note scales provide a framework for creating expressive and soulful solos. You'll learn how to navigate the fretboard efficiently within these scales, building fluidity and speed.

One-Note-Per-Beat Approach

We'll break down a systematic approach to soloing, starting with a one-note-per-beat exercise. This technique helps develop precision, timing, and control, which are crucial for crafting compelling solos. It's a great way to internalize the scales and build a solid foundation for more complex improvisations.
