May's Video Picks: Practice Smart, Play Hard
Solo Ideas:  C Smooth - Gil Parris dissects a phrase from his C Smooth solo. "I start with a motif, I build on it a little bit and then I play something a little bit unusual to catch the listener's ear. A lot of my soloing deals with building on something I played previously." Check out how Gil develops soloing ideas.

Finger Sp ice: Modification - A simple but very effective technique is modifying something you already know to create something new and cool. Let's work with a simple Dom 7 voicing (flat the 3rd and you have a minor 7th) and apply the b3 to 3 move in your own "rhythmic grooves."

Interval In sights: 6ths - The 6th is a very consonant interval that is usually associated with country music; country players will often fill their solos and supporting lines with them. However, as this lesson from Rich Maloof demonstrates, 6ths sounds great in all idioms. Enjoy this insight.

Rock S hop: Big Rock Blues - Here's a 12 bar blues from Jeff McErlain that can almost be categorized as Alt-Country. Listen to cats like David Grissom for more of this vibe. Grissom has great tone, big chops and the coolest country-blues-rock bag with just a touch of jazz influences.
