        Lately I have been transcribing some phrases that I like and trying to develop motifs when improvising.

          That was quite fluid the way you mixed the chords with the lead….really well played!

              Licks, phasing, double stops … all sounding great Barry. You’re definitely in the groove for this. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                      Thanks Dieter – made a list of 12-15 licks then I just pick a few and just try to rearrange them in different ways to fit the chord progression

                      The rhythm/lead call and response fit together perfectly Barry. Nice improvising!
