Dynamics

An essential part of what makes any style of music dramatic is the use of dynamics. This means being able to play very quiet, very loud or anywhere in between and with a variety of expressions. This next solo takes ideas from the playing of BB King, Buddy Guy and Peter Green, all players who use dynamics brilliantly.
