Most folks, when soloing, tend to focus primarily on the notes they use…
But I often argue that the rhythm is far more important, and almost no one thinks about it at all.
So in this video, I’ll take a basic, common blues lick and make it a whole lot cooler just by modifying the rhythm slightly.

Is there a pill I can take that can develops rhythm and time-keeping without working too hard?
Perhaps, also a blue pill for gaining relative pitch.
So many styles jump out to make sure your dancing helps you smile and, really enjoy working it as well
NICE LICK. I HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. ONLY THING, THAT LAST NOTE SHOULD MATCH THE KEY OF THE CHORD CHANGES. WOULD SOUND MORE MEDOLIC. STILL, SOUNDS GREAT.
Thanks, Teach! You never disappoint. Been with you ten years, and I love the journey.
Great video Griff. Already knew the concept but demoing it this way really drives the point home!
Very insightful. Being a new musician, it’s hard to hear that at first. I had to listen a few times, then I heard the huge difference. Thanks Griff, still learning the basics, but really enjoy learning from your courses. When is your next CD coming out?
Great one Griff. Interesting how TOTALLY different the first and third versions of the lick sound. subtle changes can make huge differences. Thanks bill
