Part 3/7:
To illustrate this point, Rick demonstrates a well-known blues riff, traditionally played in one common position using a slide or bend. However, he emphasizes that the same phrase can be performed in multiple places on the neck, whether by sliding or bending, and with slight variations.
He shows how the familiar phrase—an integral part of blues and jazz improvisation—can be transposed to different positions, revealing new tonal qualities and fingerings. This practice pushes players to think beyond fixed patterns and encourages a more comprehensive understanding of their fretboard.
