    Hello Lyden. A lick I didn't heard before but nice to remember thanks. I tried to find a youtube channel aboit Charly. I only find a 6 yo video but he had the talent, I'm sure now he is fabulous. Exited to discover what he does now. I hope my 8 yo son will follow the same way. Congrat to the musician familly ❤.

    Many congrats on your son. Excellent videos but is there any way in the future you can also write out the music notation as well as the note letters? Unfortunately, the note letters do not show the rhythm or the length of the note. Many thanks.

    • @lyndenblades
      @lyndenblades  2 месяца назад +2

      Thank you and that’s a great suggestion. My issue is that I’m using iMovie and to be very honest I’m not experienced with editing enough to know how to do that really well just yet. That’s why I’ve created the free download, but I’m constantly learning and looking to improve what I’m doing. The other reason is that I’m fundamentally an ear player and would encourage you to learn the lick by ear and then experiment with different phrasing until you find a way that resonates with you, does that make sense? 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

      Yep, he uses it a lot in a lot of tunes. Also known as the “cry me a river” lick because that’s the song where it first appears as part of the melody.
