"
1.%Change%the%ornament:%%"
• If"you"usually"do"a"hammer9on,"try"a"slide"or"a"pull9off"lick"instead."
• Try"a"slow,"drawn9out"slide"instead"of"a"fast"slide.""
• Double9up"an"ornament,"e.g."two"successive"hammer9ons."
• If"the"open"strings"are"favorable,"try"adding"a"roll"to"the"melody."
• Or"just"try"playing"the"note"cleanly"with"no"ornamentation"at"all.""
"
2.%Syncopate:%%"
• Play"the"same"notes"but"phrase"them"differently."One"very"effective"trick"is"to"
do"predictable,"generic"pick9up"notes"that"usually"lead"to"a"destination"note"
squarely"on"a"beat—but"instead"of"doing"the"predictable"thing,"wait"to"play"
the"destination"note"until"the"next"beat."""
• Try"working"rolls"into"the"melody"and"letting"the"notes"fall"a"bit"at"random"
within"the"roll"pattern—this"works"great"with"forward"rolls"when"the"barred"
melody"note"is"being"played"with"your"index"finger"instead"of"thumb"(will"
provide"example"in"class).""
"
3.%Repeat%notes/phrases%"
• There's"often"a"bit"of"space"between"melody"notes"in"bluegrass"music—the"
space"where"a"roll"often"goes"to"add"rhythmic"interest"to"a"melody."Instead"of"
a"roll,"try"repeating"a"lick"two"or"three"times.""
• Also,"instead"of"constantly"going"from"note"to"note,"it"can"be"very"effective"to"
stay"put"and"play"the"same"note"a"few"times"while"the"chord"progression"
moves"around."If"the"melody"of"the"song"isn't"moving"and"there's"time"to"do"
so,"try"playing"the"note"a"few"times"with"different"ornamentation:"once"with"a"
slide,"next"with"a"pull9off,"and"next"with"a"hammer9on.""
"
4.%Go%above%or%below%the%melody%"
• One"of"my"favorite"moves"is"to"set"up"a"destination"note"with"a"series"of"lead9
in"notes"but"end"somewhere"unexpected."For"example,"in"the"Key"of"G"over"a"
G"chord,"playing"an"ascending"phrase"such"as"DEGABC…."which"leads"the"
listener"inevitably"to"a"nearby"D"note,"but"skipping"up"to"the"next"chord"note,"
G,"instead."The"contrast"between"what"the"listener"expects"and"actually"hears"
makes"for"an"interesting"listening"experience.""
"
"
"
5.%Change%octaves%%
• This"is"often"easy"on"the"Dobro—if"you're"used"to"playing"something"near"the"
nut"on"the"high"three"strings,"try"playing"the"same"thing"on"the"lower"three"
strings."
"
6.%Play%nonGmelody%notes%but%phrase%them%like%the%melody%"
• In"other"words,"notes"are"played"at"the"same"time"as"the"melody"notes"would"
occur,"but"they're"different"notes."Since"the"phrasing"is"the"same,"it"still"
sounds"like"you're"improvising"over"the"particular"song.""
• If"you've"already"played"the"melody"over"the"first"half"of"a"solo,"this"is"a"good"
trick"for"moving"to"a"different"part"of"the"fretboard—for"example,"to"get"to"a"
higher"octave,"you"could"make"your"way"up"the"neck"using"random"major"
scale"notes"that"are"phrased"like"the"melody.""
"
7.%Play%FEWER%notes!%"
• This"is"actually"a"corollary"to"syncopation."Instead"of"always"trying"to"cram"in"
more"and"more"notes,"try"leaving"some"out."When"you"do,"it"tends"to"
syncopate"the"melody"without"any"effort.""
• When"employing"this"strategy,"focus"on"tone"and"feeling—get"a"lot"of"mileage"
out"of"your"slides"and"use"vibrato"for"sustained"notes.""
