Episode notes
Purpose Of Learning Licks
- Licks are musical vocabulary that teach you how to say things over chord progressions.
- You cannot create phrases you never heard, so learning others' licks expands your expressive palette.
Learn Licks By Ear
- Learn licks by ear to mimic and internalize how they sound and feel.
- Use repetition and slow-down tools to train your ear and muscle memory.
Transpose Through All 12 Keys
- Take each lick through all 12 keys by ear to deepen muscle memory and tonal awareness.
- Transpose aurally rather than relying on notation or software for better internalization.
