Variation, Part 4 - Hook Example (Texture Options)
Tue, 11/10/2015 - 07:40
Now that you have the hook dialed in, experiment with changing the way you present the hook.
I7 = 2 2" 2 doesn't have many options, but 6+ 5 6+ does. Use slaps to present them. Try slaps on the 6+ and flutter on the 5 (this is a very common way to present this lick). Octaves are great (though 2/5 is not an octave, it's an acceptable dissonance). Maybe start the lick with a pull to give it a rhythmic change.
Experiment with the other chords to see what you come up with.
