In this lesson I talk about 7 Michael Brecker type lines that he would use on a minor chord.\u00a0 I have taken the lines from different solos of his and transposed them to the key of E minor.\u00a0 Michael Brecker had a playing style that was so hip.\u00a0 He\u00a0 would play these intense lines that would weave in and out of the tonality and really catch your attention. \u00a0 These 7 lines are based off of the Dorian mode\u00a0 but sound much hipper than typical dorian mode patterns.\u00a0 As I play through these lines with a backing track I talk about how I think about the lines and the thought process I go through to try to learn from Brecker’s recording.\u00a0 I show you what kind of things I do to figure out the thinking behind the lines and how I try to take that and then create my own lines.\u00a0 I play the examples from the E minor PDF\u00a0 on tenor sax.\u00a0 I hope this lesson will help you get a little bit closer to playing those Brecker type lines that were and are so hip.\u00a0 (32 minute video,audio and PDF)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
