Hey guys!
Here's a lesson based on a question I've been asked a lot recently about whether or not one should vocalize their ideas in the shed, regardless of it being solos or grooves.
Vocalizing helps solidify sound like no other technique in my opinion. It has helped me develop my vocabulary and ability to compose music as well. It is definitely a life changing exercise for any musician looking to develop their unique vocabulary/voice on any instrument.

I was soloing on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and I was having a hard time coming up with melodies, so I tried playing what I sing and it was the best solo I ever played on that tune. The melodies were so much more interesting, the phrasing was better, the solo had a sense of story in terms of dynamics and such. I cannot stretch this enough how important this practice is. Great lesson as always Anthony!

I must agree that few things have helped my playing like singing. Trying to sing what I play and play what I sing. Your ear is always your best teacher. Of course everything else matters too. it's good to learn licks and spend some shed time only on theoretical soloing. Everything compliments everything else. If someone already knows their scales and doesn't know what to do with them, start singing! Even just singing Dorian (with or without an instrument) over a minor chord is pretty great stuff.

Thank you! I always listen to Victor Bailey and remember his video, where he talked about this same thing, right before he passed away.

One thing you could add Anthony is the importance of tension and “resolution points” as your singing these melodies. That really helped me kind of put the proper “grammar “ into my solos and sound much more mature in my playing-thanks for the lesson 👍🏻🎶🎶
