Americana Phrasing
Having a good sense of phrasing tells a story, gives solos depth and is exactly what you need to hold the interest of a listener. Good phrasing is often what people will refer to as being "tasty". It's not a magic gift that some players have and some don't. Anyone can achieve great phrasing by knowing and applying these tried and true concepts. Americana music gives us an ideal platform for talking about these concepts
