Hi Mr. Barrett-
When it comes to lick harvesting, which method would you recommend? Listen and try to play, or listen, tab it out then try to play the song by using the transcription? Lately this has become a major road block for me. I spend hours trying to tab something out as perfect as it can be. It is so time consuming and I don't feel like the latter method is very effective.
Thanks!
How about instead of tabbing the entire song, you just tab out one lick, then apply the Chorus Form process you learned in the improvising lessons. Chew on that lick for two or three days and tab out another lick. This will grow your vocabulary well and take much less time.
Got it. I was listening to "Horn of Plenty" by William Clarke this morning. Will try to tab out the song by working on a few bars at a time and play the licks in all chorus forms. Thanks for your advice. :D
Great. That's a KILLER song... one of my very favorites. I was just playing that for a student the other day.
Yea. It is an awesome song. Do you have your playing recorded? I would love to hear it!
I played the original recording for him... I wasn't about to top what Bill and Mitch did :-)
