John’s notes;Starting with a ‘pedal steel guitar’ opening phrase this solo targets the underlying chord tones. Although it’s a standard 1 - 4 - 5 (C - F - G) chord progression in C Major, note the Bb chord prior to the 4 chord F. For those who like music theory this is often used in Country & Blues. It’s the 4 chord of the 4th chord !Also note the ‘Harmonised’ 6th’s notes in phrases 6 & 7. These are notes who’s intervals are 6 notes apart.Although only a short arrangement there’s lots of useful soloing idea’s you can use either when improvising or creating your own tunes.
