That Felt Different, Didn’t It?

You just created something musical with only four notes.

Not by learning more patterns. Not by memorizing solos.

By going deeper instead of wider.

That’s the moment when soloing stops feeling like scale practice and starts feeling like making music.

Now imagine if you could do that consistently – with any riff, over any chord progression, in any key.

That’s exactly what Box 1 Blues Soloing teaches you to do.

Not ready yet? No problem.

Practice what you just learned with the jam track below. See how many different ways you can make those four notes sound.

When you’re ready to multiply this approach across 15 “stock phrase” riffs (and turn them into 200+ musical ideas), Box 1 Blues Soloing is here.

Grab Your Guitar and Try For Yourself:

Here’s the jam track we used in the video:

If having lots of options leads to indecision or confusion in the middle of a solo, then why not strip away every other option and simply focus on a handful of notes, and making them sound good?

That’s what we’re doing today – give it a shot and let me know how it went in the comments below!

    The first 16-17 notes in George Harrison’s solo on “Something” use precisely this box.

      Great example – many other songs too!

    Hey Jonathan!

    This is definitely a great way to really utilize soloing. As you are concentrating on “phrasing”. Which is very important in expressing oneself when playing. It’s using the notes to convey a feeling, Like writing a story.
    Thanks for your postings!!!

    Cheers!!! 🙂
