In this pack, Mike Pope gives you powerful ways to organize and create solos through the use of motivic development. Each of these ideas, whether it is using two note motifs, scalar approaches, motifs as landing points, or any of the other ideas in this pack, can and should be used to help craft better solos in all styles of music. As you work through each lesson, see if you can craft your own starting motif and then use each technique to add to it and make it grow.
