Hi Guys,
Welcome to my lesson No. 56
One of the best concept to build a melodic solo is the Question & Answer principle. This "conversation" between phrases makes the listener curious about your "story".
I made 5 Q&A licks that perfectly demonstrates this technique. On some examples The borders between questions & answers seems to disappear because there are connected in some way but they're still there.
Here is the structure of the Jam track:
Q&A Intro 0:00-0:05
| Em79 | % |
Q&A Lick 1 0:06-0:16
| Cadd9 | % | Em79 | % |
Q&A Lick 2 0:17-0:28
| Cadd9 | % | Em79 | % |
Q&A Lick 3 0:29-0:40
| Cadd9 | % | Em79 | % |
Q&A Lick 4 0:41-0:50
| Cadd9 | % | Em79 | % |
Q&A Lick 5 0:51-1:01
| Cadd9 | % | Em79 | % |
Q&A Outro 1:02-1:14
| Em79 | % | Daug/E |
Have fun! ;-)
Final words
I tried to transcribe as close as possible. Specially in the Guitar Pro file you'll find all this little extras!
