  • Mission: Create an interesting groove solo, using only one string and sticking to the dot markers. I "mostly" pulled that off! I may have to develop this into something more. I can already hear drums on it.

    This is actually something I am doing more frequently. Trying to do lines, grooves and fills with a single string to see how they work in more grander and bigger contexts. It's fun and helps you desire to use the higher frets!

      Yes exactly. I also like the consistency of tone staying on one string.

    Very good improvising on One whole string Tony. Just playing one string you can work on Timing how Hard and soft you play. I listen to Dreaming quite often it's one of my favorites. That song would have sounded wonderful live..
