[Bars 49-52] Here’s yet another creative and blistering lick which ends with a bent note/bridge pickup switch at the end of bar 52. It’s most useful when learning this phrase to maintain an awareness of underlying chord and scale shapes in Bb. This will allow you to understand the mechanics of the phrase, increase security and will help you transpose to other keys and contexts. [Bar 58-59] Here Carl opts for a huge position change to finish the solo in style. With a characteri­stic attention to detail he ends the last note with tremolo bar vibrato and a volume knob fade out. What a pro!
