Start Using Counterpoint In YOUR Solos

Описание: In this video I share a phrase that demonstrates how to use simple contrary motion within your solos to imply cadence based harmony.

The phrase is transcribed from a live performance of Bireli Lagrene playing 'Isn't She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder. Check out Bireli's performance here:    • Bireli Lagrene - Isn't she lovely ? (live)  

As mentioned in the video, you can find the transcription of the first form of Bireli's solo (+ the chord voicings used in the intro) on my Patreon page:   / robbiebarnby  

This transcription is full of great melodic language and was very fun to revisit after transcribing it many years ago! The phrase we focused on in the video happens at Bar 40 on the transcription and at 4:35 of Bireli's performance video.

I hope you enjoyed the video lesson!
