We learn phrases from George Benson,Charlie Parker and the rest.But examples of phrasing lie all around us. We will pass them by as they beg for a few bucks.But jokes aside watch this little bloke sing the lines along with the snake charmer and his pungi.He is tracking microtonal movements quite beautifully. This clip is courtesy my carpenter Shambhudan who shot this on his phone in Jaisalmer and saw me playing guitar at home. He wanted to share some music from his gaon.Listen to the sounds around you and vocalize them,play them in your instrument.Like I said inspiration is free,education isn't in most cases.Make the most of your gift...the incredible ear.Hey and also the snake charmer sounds like what Zawinul did with tons of gear,in my opinion hahahaha :)
