What do you do when they say: "TAKE IT DOC," but you don know a break to the song? You say, "NO THANKS, ILL PASS". Pretty embarrassing & not much fun. Youve seen guitar players who are so good that they can just "FAKE IT." In other words: they can make up a solo on the spot even if theyve never heard the song before. Did you know there are two ways to approach this problem? The first is the approach of stringing together a bunch of licks that fit the chords. Thats kind of a beginner approach to playing a solo. The advanced approach is to not only play really hot licks, but for the melody of the song to also be identifiable. Let Chris Jones take you beyond "lick soloing" to advanced melody soloing... Chris takes you beyond "lick oriented" soloing, showing you how to translate banjo instrumentals into guitar instrumentals, by replacing the fingerpicked banjo roll with the more linear "guitaristic" componentry, while being careful to maintain the integrity of the original banjo piece. Watch Chris as he analyzes and teaches 5 example songs, & explains why he chose what he played, every step of the way. By learning this approach, you will be able to invent your own intelligent, melody oriented solo for any banjo instrumental you encounter! Tunes taught and analyzed include: Fireball Mail, Dear Old Dixie, Ruben, Cluck Old Hen, & Lonesome Road Blues
