Workshop #4

For this workshop we each had to compose a solo for the tune Scrapple from the Apple. While I was writing mine, I added a large amount of alterations to the dominant chords and I didn't pay much attention to phrasing at all, so the end result was mostly 8th notes with some very tricky fingerings and outside sounding melodies. In short, I couldn't play it up to speed. However, I learned from it that phrasing is just as important as the notes, and someone can make a solo with half the notes sound better.
