Improve Your Phrasing - Box 1

http://www.steviesnacks.com - A lot of people ask me what notes should be used for ending licks, in order to have good phrasing. I have not covered this topic very extensively, so this lesson is a more in-depth look at phrasing in Box 1. Future lessons will explore this same topic in the other boxes.

this is more about note choices on a given neck position than about phrasing itself (the way you use these notes) this is very useful for the listener to hear the changes in your solos (playing the key notes of a given chord at the right time) but phrasing can't only be dictacted by chord changes.

this is just exactly what i needed to get my blues to the next level,

thank you, you're great!

@Fjord76 your phrasing will sound shitty without knowing this, so these terms are linked. but if it was me who named this lesson i would prefer "Phrasing over Separate Chords" or something like that.

@eddy621

research, try alnico 2 pups. i use a swampash strat its make it a little bit more twangy, also the new ibanez ta15 is quite SRV sounding. try rolling off the gain on amp and vol on the guitar and blend in a peddle and try mixing between the 3.

if that fails shoot yourself in the foot, then you are blues for 6 months solid.

"Now you can also (...) " :D

Great! Now I can tell "I feel blues" :D

How do you get your tone?

@Fjord76 That is a very very good point. But I can appreciate that he explains this concept, which is very important for phrasing and making your phrasing more poignant, before just teaching you phrases that you don't understand how to use. This is the heart of good phrasing. which is all that people really need. You don't need to teach phrases when people learn how to effectively phrase for themselves. Just my two cents. Kudos to both of you

I think your lessons are great. Like others I have had a guitar in my hands for many years but I progressed only so far but not far at all. This has always been the area I couldn't wrangle, as simple as it is at least how you put it it is easy and now will practice much more because you have shown me a new direction that I have probably seen but never explained as well. I don't want to be a famous guitar player but I want it to make sense when sitting around the campfire drinking beer. With you
