Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…
Q: I’m interested in learning to phrase my melodies better. I’ve been writing for around six years now, and I just started recording, but my melody is lacking. I like Pop, R&B, and Smooth Jazz. I’m always impressed with the songs you play at the start of each of your lessons. Can you make a brief list covering some advanced melodic phrasing techniques?

A: There are definitely a group of predominant principles that musicians need to hold with high regard when it comes to phrasing. My top three of these they are… #1, the Application of Phrasing Devices. These include; bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, grace notes, trills, harmonics and other phrasing tools… #2, Altering a Melodies Rhythmic Meter. This could be as simple as building up, or breaking down a phrase into lesser, or greater rhythmic meters… And, #3, Thickening Parts to make them beefier and fatter sounding without altering their structure. These three areas are excellent ways to add more advanced ideas to the phrasing of a melody.
