Hi Steve, I am not sure what you mean. Can you expand on that please?

Robert, since I’ve already worked with this lesson, I can imagine what Steve would like to know: Why you didn’t use the lick from „Stretching the blues lesson #3“ (with the flat five) in your complete 12 bar solo in A.

This lick can be played over the IV chord, D7, coming back on the one chord, A7, for 2 bars.

But instead of lick #3 you used the lick from lesson #4 (with the Major 2nd) over D7 going back to the one chord A7.

And Steve, please correct me if you meant it differently.

Honestly, I don't remember. I made this 8 years ago, I think. I might have been tight for time or I made a mistake. 

Perhaps I should do another lesson like this again? A couple of licks each week and build a solo over time that way?

Robert, using lick#3 instead of lick#4 is just a question of variation, how to use these licks,  coming from A7 to D7 or going back from D7 to A7. I love this solo too, just like Steve.

And yes, another lesson like this would be great. This kind of lesson is structured in a very interesting way, helps solidifying each lick, and has a lot of information on music theory.

Yes, I like the "building a solo" lessons.

Thanks much.
