Knowing how to navigate chord changes convincingly is what separates amateurs from pros.
In the solo The Awakening, taken from Brian Maillard’s JTC release Play With Balance, that skill is on full display.
Built around three contrasting solos, The Awakening, The Rise, and The Silence, this release explores the relationship between high-intensity, technique-driven lead playing and restrained, melodic phrasing.
You’ll learn how to:
Execute convincing 180° turns mid-phrase
Transition seamlessly between technical firepower and melodic control
Add substance and intention to full-throttle licks
Inside the release:
3 full solos
34 isolated licks (fast & slow)
16 backing tracks
PDF study guide
Full tab/notation (PDF + GP)
Everything you need to bring more control, contrast, and maturity to your lead playing is inside Play With Balance.
