The first solo etude will make use of a simple 1-2-3-5 pattern in the A section. In the B section, we will simplify the 2-5-1 progression by taking the 5 completely out. Then in the last 8 bars, you will use two minor pentatonic shapes, and guide tones moving in half-steps.
Once you have learned this etude, it’s time to start “stretching” off of it. In the next video, I improvise by messing around with the rhythms on the 1-2-3-5 shapes, and then played the guide tone ending with only some slight rhythmic variations. You should try the same thing!
