Picking. In my own pl ay ing I use ailernale picking ge nerally. When I sh ift from siring 10 strin g. I use down-picking regardl ess of whe ther I am s hifting to lo wer or higher s trings. Picking is something the s tudent will ·develop
th ro ug h practi ce. However, it is esse ntia l to be aware of all the ways there are. My habit of a ilernate picking is peculiar to my style. The studen t mu st find his own whi ch w ill best suit his persona l concept.

Practice Patterns The Practice Patterns which follow wi ll aid the student in developing his own ideas. It is recommended tha t these patte rns be practiced in all keys and scales. By inventi ng his
eight h- or sixteenth-notes. Wh ile stri ving to establish continuity and a melod ic sense throu gh scales and patterns, always kee p in mind that the music must come from the head, not simpl y from the fingers ru n ning up and dow n the
own patterns th e g uitaris t will ga in a sense o f me lo dic
construction that w ill be uniquely hi s own. Thi s wil l be a
neck. It is imp orta nt to sing or hum the mus ica l ideas one
great adva ntage in improv is in g.

Try taking a chord sequence such as C - A7 - Dmin - G7 -

Joe's Blues Joe's Blues is based on th e blues in th e key of G; the chord changes are basically G7 - C7 - 07. These appear in the first twelve bars to indicate the sequence. The following va riants ma y be used in pl ace of G7: G13, G9, G9(6), G7 +9, G7(b9 ). Db 9 in the four th measure ca n be played in the sa me way. In ba r 8 8m 7 ca n be repla ced by F131F9/F +9/F m9 . 8m 7 ca n be change'd to a Dominant 7th (8 7) or 89/813. The substituti o ns can be made in th e second half of bar 8. E7 ca n be replaced wi th E+91Em 91E131E9 o r Bb9/8b+9IBbm 91 Sb1 3/8b9 . Bar 9 ca n be altered in muc h th e same way s in ce th ese chord s are interchangeabl e.
Stu dents must be abl e to c hoose freely from the a il ernatives ava ilabl e not on ly in chordin g but a lso in so lo improvisati on. In Joe's Blues the s tud ent s hould check out each phrase aga in st the chord he thinks is bein g used.
