Pentatonic scales, arpeggios, horizontal vs vertical soloing, altered dominants, the lydian mode, chord connections and quartal harmony are just a few of the topics that will be focused on and demonstrated. There are also many practice rhythm tracks at your fingertips to apply to each of the key elements.
