Get Educated > From the vault, Andy Summers in Conceptualizing Solos

Digg This Story ADD TO NEWSVINE

Andy talks about improvising. Not so much about note choices, but more about time and space. He talks about improvisation being a narrative between people...the musician and the listener, rhythmic phrase placement, and some more abstract qualities that he looks for when playing or appreciating a great solo. He also talks about practice techniques for becoming more proficient as a soloist.
