15. 8th note etudes for Douce Ambiance and Avalon

Here are two etudes for GJ standards Douce Ambiance and Avalon. I have used some basic vocabulary and some more irregular note choices. The idea here is by sitting down and composing carefully one can find new ideas and break some manners in soloing.

-Compose 8th note melody line to some standard song.

-Memorize your line

-Change note durations, add slides, bends etc., make nuances. This way you make 8th note line more musical and meaningful

One of the best guitarist in playing non-stop GJ impro 8th and triplet lines is Angelo Debarre. Check him out!
