Mix and Match
Hi David,
I like to go back and practice your previous study material in my studies, but the thought occcurred to me while doing this. Take for example the 2 blues songs, "Walk With Me" and "Feelin for the Blues", both are 8 bar blues in the key of "E" and both have 7 choruses and EACH song has 56 licks made up of the 1,4,5. chord changes. Could you just mix and match these different licks (56 from each song) and come up with completely a different blues song or perhaps songs?? Thx for input. John
David... did you mean that it would be perfectly OKAY to do this ONLY if you knew how to bend and perform the advanced ormentation? or not the best choice for THESE two songs at all? Thx John
Hello Jayatee72. "not the best choice for THESE two songs," because they're essentially the same song.
Ok I see. Thx
Hello John. You got it, that’s exactly what you can do (you’ll learn this in Improvising Study 1). There’s an issue with the two songs you chose though... they’re the same song... one is a variation (addition of bending and more advanced ornamentation) of the other. You can do this with the other songs though.
