Kickoffs and Fills, Part 1
In the last few lessons on playing solos to songs, you’ve learned to flesh out melodies with lead-in lines (kickoffs) and fills, many of which can also be used as endings. All of these licks or melodies are three beats long, and in this lesson, you’ll concentrate on increasing your repertoire of these lines. As kickoffs or lead-in lines, it’s important to have licks that lead to every potential first melody note, so Scott starts by showing you kickoffs to the most common beginning melody notes in the key of G: G, B, and D (in two octaves). He also shows you a couple of variations and talks about modifying these lines to create your own kickoffs, fills, and endings.
