Want your blues playing to sound more atmospheric and expressive? 🎸
Try this: use a drone note.
In this lesson, Jed explores playing in the key of E using the low E string as a constant drone, letting you build mood ands tension over a simple harmonic backdrop. You can play in time, or completely free (rubato), letting your ear guide the phrasing rather than locking into a strict rhythm.
