LOA6 - Improvising Study 2 - Assignment 2: Focus Notes & textures - Doubts

1)How many choruses do I have to record concerning to Focus Notes (1 2” 2 3 4 5 6+ 7 8 9 9+)? 

2) Am  I free to choose the BackTracking in the site lessons, or do I have to play upon the Improvising Study 1 jamtracks? 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Osvaldo. Answers

Hello Osvaldo. Answers below...

1) Use the same licks that you used in you previous submissions. Order those from lowest to highest focus note (FN) after your head. So, no new licks are needed.

While working on this, if you find that you need another chorus to help with the flow of your composition, then add it (for example... CH1 is the Head, then CH2 is 1 draw FN, CH3 is 2 draw FN, and then CH3 is 5 draw FN... it may be too much of a jump to hole 5, so adding a chorus in-between, with say the 4 draw, may help it to flow better).

2) Use any 12 bar blues jam track you wish.
