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?
Chuck B. – Hartford, CT. USA
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.

Nice Keaggy feel to it.
that opening piece had such an awesome feel to it, music for all the right reasons
You have pretty smart ways to explain… Always enjoyed your lessons and understood them perfectly. I'm from Argentina! Spanish speaker
Great lesson! You should do a video explaining the mods on your guitar.
Your videos have taken my playing to a higher level. I have a lot of musical ideas that I wouldn't have had without the information you provide.
Very helpfull!!! the melody at the beggining….WOW so catchy! thanks for the lesson, time to practice 🙂 liked and shared (y)
When you said 'melodic' phrasing… you weren't kidding. That was really tasteful playing.
