  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson, we will practice a groovy solo that will help you improve your timing and technique as well.


    Basically, it’s a funk tune in the key of B, but we are playing over C#m and F#7 so what you hear is the C# Dorian mode.


    I used different techniques during this solo, so be sure to work on each section understanding the rhythm.
