Wild Turkey Sequence

Filed Under (Modes, Uncategorized) by admin on 23-11-2011

Happy Turkey day!


Here is a lick I call “The Wild Turkey Sequence”…It’s based off
of a dorian shape, and uses a little theme that reminds me of, well,
a wild turkey. Don’t ask me why!


Have fun applying this rhythmic theme to other licks. Didn’t really
have time to shoot a video, but I do have a quick audio recording
plus a tab. Enjoy!
