Session 4 : Rhythm and Phrasing Cont'd

From Wes: This session we will be playing over 3 tunes: Thrill is Gone A • Shuffle Blues Jam • Green Onions. See sessions 1 and 2 for the first two backing tracks.

Things to consider: Target tones
End your ideas on a root or any other "good" sounding note.

Phrasing: Play with the call & response idea in mind. Your solo is like a conversation and it should flow smoothly. Avoid playing a bunch of riffs back to back. You need to listen to what you're doing and weave your ideas together smoothly and give way to musical tendency. Also consider the timing of your start and finish point.
