A focused practice session that teaches blues improvisation by transcribing, looping, and developing motifs over a 12-bar blues using Winon Kelly’s solo as source material.
This lesson guides you through practical exercises for mastering blues improvisation: transcribe short ‘words’ from a solo, loop them to internalize swing feel and articulations, and build a 12-bar solo using a few repeated motifs. It demonstrates conversational phrasing (call-and-response), motif development, and structural planning across the tonic, subdominant, and turnaround sections. The lesson includes a ready-made solo to practice along with and links to a PDF transcription and practice materials for members.
