Improvising Study 1 - Chorus Forms

We study songs to gain technique, movement, vocabulary and of course to be able to play a song we enjoy. The ultimate goal of all music studies though is self-expression... to improvise solos and write memorable instrumentals. In these studies I demystify the art of blues improvisation... teaching you how to organize licks within the twelve bar blues progression, basically how we use repetition to create memorable solos called Chorus Forms.

This study is for all skill levels, though it is recommended that you have completed up to Bending and Tongue Blocking Studies 2. You’ll need a B-flat Harmonica for this study.
