Rather than drift one of my other threads, I want to muse on a topic that is hanging me up. OWC said he never plays the same part the same way in a tune, and, when listening to anyone else play well, I always hear that added variety. I am still focused on increasing my competence at the basic tunes, but, once I get something down pretty tight, I find that I get hung up on how to add variations to the melody. Can anyone offer any advice as to some simple tricks to start embellishing, or some theory, or whatever else you think might help?
