If your solos sound like a shape you memorized instead of actual music, this one's for you. I've seen it over and over teaching master classes, clinics, and private lessons this past year, and I spent a lot of time figuring out the fastest way to break players out of it.

This is the full first chapter of my brand new course, Intermediate Soloing: Breaking Out of the Box. We're in the key of E and building one lick that moves down the neck instead of sitting in one position.
The rest of the course builds on these ideas with more licks, concepts, tabs, and transcriptions designed to help you solo more freely and musically.
