Recognizing where a lick fits within a song's structure is critical to shortening your learning curve as an improviser. Without this ability, you won't be able to apply ideas you learn from other players. Here are two simple yet powerful techniques to help you pinpoint key sections in songs-like turnarounds in a 12-bar blues-so you have more context for licks you discover in recordings. This will help you unlock some mysteries of musical context and enhance your understanding of where a lick belongs within the form of a tune (in this case, a 12-bar blues).
What's your biggest challenge when it comes to identifying song sections? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.
