Improvising over a melody is tricky, and requires a lot of ear and vocabulary practice. But KSB teaches us how if you know the chords to the song, you can play a break at the drop of a hat! Kristin will teach how to find your chords all across the neck, and how to roll over them to make your break sound epic.

My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
