💡 Play a bass note, hit a chord, then add a little lead lick. In Part 4, I'll show you the Hit and Run approach to mixing rhythm and lead without losing your place. We'll start with bass on beat 1, a short chord on beat 2, and two beats of lead. Get comfortable on one A chord, then take the idea through a 12-bar blues. I'll also show you how to let the lick finish on beat 1 of the next bar and return to the chord on beat 2.
🚨 Keep your licks simple and get the timing right first. Once the pattern feels comfortable, mix it with the other approaches in this series!
