Accompaniment Study 1: AAA Chorus Form
Sat, 01/11/2014 - 12:34
I am currently working on Accompaniment Study 1. To complete my homework for the AAA Chorus form, I need to find a four bar lick to repeat. In a real life jam situation, when using the AAA Chorus form as the foundation for a solo, would it be okay if my "A" riff was an easily recognizable riff? For example, the vocal line of "Rock Around the Clock"? I'm sure it would sound okay, but would this be rude to the other bandmembers? Like I'm playing a different song from them?
Or, would hearing this riff inspire the band to move in a different direction with the song?

Right on. I will be sure to
Right on. I will be sure to not do that.
And you were right. I meant "Improvising Study 1".
Thank you.
Hello Marc. I believe you're speaking of Improvising Study 1. Though quoting a known melody can be a fun thing to do, you would reserve that for using every now and again, as an inside joke… placing it in an AAA Chorus Form wouldn't sound good. I recommend you use a standard lick, like the first lick from the 5th Chorus of "Temperature" for example.
