I've been playing for many years, I know all the scales and a bunch of licks, but feel I have many more licks I want to integrate into my vocabulary. I've never seen anyone teach improvisation this way, but it makes a lot of sense to me, but before I jump in in earnest, I'm curious to get more info on where all of this is going to take me, say, a year from now.
I get the idea of using this course when you're just starting to learn how to improvise, but what happens after you've used this approach to learn, say, 20 different licks, and you can use them to play 20 factorial or whatever it is different solos by changing their order. What do you do when you hear the 21st lick that you like? How do you burn that lick into your vocabulary? I'd really like to ask this to Griff specifically. Griff - by now you've got tons of licks burned into your mind that you have ready to go when playing live. What do you do when you hear a new lick that you like and want to incorporate into your vocab? What steps do you take to get the new lick into your repertoire. Curious to know how those steps compare and contrast to those outlined in the course. Something tells me they're not that much different, but curious to hear the answer.
For example, even today, would you take 3 full practice days learning how to play the lick with 4 other licks in various orderings?
Thanks!
Gary
