How to Take a Solo without Knowing the Melody

What do you do when you're asked to take a solo but you don't know the melody? This lesson will share a step by step approach to building confidence in this common scenario. Using the building blocks for improvisation and melody construction combined with knowledge of phrasing and song form, you will be guided along this method on common standards like "Roll in my Sweet Baby's Arms", "I'll Fly Away" and "East Virginia Blues"

Great tutorial

[@chazbike9708]

Some good ideas for me there. I'm always trying to think what to play during vocals on mandolin rather than strumming/chopping along. Thank you!
