SESSION 3: Chop-Chord-Shape Licks |
In session three, Joe works on finding sounds and vocabulary out of the chop-chord shape. So much vocabulary comes out of this shape, especially blues-inflected sounds, and it complements the "first finger root note" shape well. He shows you a couple of solos from Sam Bush and Aubrey Haynie so you can internalize some chop-chord shape language, and you’ll also work on shifting between the two shapes.
