Just watched the first Blues lesson? Here's your task. Have a go at soloing over the Blues in F backing track using the five lines and the sounds we work on in the video. Take a couple of the lines, play around with them, and record whatever comes out. Post your video below, or just let us know how you're doing and if you have any questions. Getting the first one down is the hardest part 🎵

Comment "IN" below to let us know you've taken on the challenge, so we can all cheer you on as you work through it. Then head to step one, get your violin out, and let's go. Looking forward to hearing you all 🎵

Comment “day 4” on this post to keep up your streak! Use this thread to ask any questions and post your progress video! Hopefully by now you are starting to see two things; How a jazz musician thinks and practises. The benefits of showing up for yourself regularly and practising something new!

Comment “day 3” on this post to keep up your streak! Use this thread to post your progress videos and ask any questions you have about the challenge. Well done for making it to day 3! Today is all about creating small two note motifs from the chord tones and using them to improvise with. It’s an exercise that I think anyone at any level can learn from. Forcing yourself to stay simple can help you find inspiration a lot easier than a blank canvas. Looking forward to your videos!
