\u201cIt has been traditional throughout the history of music for musicians to get together to exchange ideas, jam, flesh out things they\u2019re working on, and learn from each other in the process. That\u2019s what we\u2019ll be doing here in Trading Solos, working with 5 different moods of blues.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For each of the five moody blues jam tracks, Robben will show you a handful of licks and rhythm approaches that you can use over the tracks as you trade solos with Robben. Then, you\u2019ll take turns applying those ideas, trading solos and comping for each other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Track 1: Mud<\/strong>
\u201cThis track is a down-and-dirty Muddy Water style slow blues in the key of E. Here are three different comping approaches for our slow blues in the key of E.

So now that we have some soloing and comping ideas for this track, let\u2019s trade some solos! I\u2019ll start things out by soloing, and then it\u2019s your turn.

Track 5: Bobby\u2019s Blues<\/strong>
\u201cThis track is a blues in the key of G, with a bit of a folky quality. Now we\u2019ll look at three rhythm approaches we can use over this track.
