David

For LOA#8 is there a recorded submission required for hooks? 

I can't find a requirement for it.

Thanks

Tom

Hello Tom. Yes, around seven

Hello Tom. Yes, around seven choruses. Take the example lick and use it as an accompaniment hook to a jam track of your choosing. Play at least four different example choruses of how you could present this hook in a song in 2nd Position. Also present at least three choruses in another position (3rd Position is a good choice for this lick). Make sure to include sequences (transposing the lick to match the other chords) in your example.

Got it, one last question;

I believe the focus should be accompaniment playing to the track,  not an instumental with soloing. Correct?
