EXAMPLE 8 TEN YEARS AFTER

Alvin Lee’s virtuoso soloing style is showcased in this example, so watch out for some tricky phrasing, particularly in bar 14 and bars 18-20. The best way to approach this is by using rhythmic augmentation, so think of bar 20 as two bars of eighth notes and you’ve effectively halved the speed but still kept your metronome at 96bpm. You can now practise the phrase slowly but accurately, gradually building tempo over several practice sessions.
