A Blues Harmonica Player's Journey - Part 5

Continuing in from yesterday...

13. “on top of the music”… where most new improvisers spend their time.

14. “inside the music”… awareness of all levels within music.

15. “what to say in the music”… final level of musicianship—a personal voice.

16. “full or rage—raw and ugly”… use of dissonance for emotional purposes (outside tones… such as those used within the Blues Scale)

17. “triumphant notes”… understanding of the power of chord tones

18. “happy notes”… Major Pentatonic for example

19. “pleasure of just making music” practice makes possible… technique makes possible… the end result is the unconscious making of music.

More Monday...
