”Whenever I’m creating a rhythm part, improvising a solo or even composing a new song -- I tend to take a small melodic or rhythmic idea, “a hook”, and treat it like a theme or motif to expand on. 

In this first volume, I’ve created 20 unique hooks, riffs and rhythms across 5 different grooves. Here’s 20 more of my favorites. I’ll first perform each hook over a track -- showing you how I expand on my own ideas with variations on the theme -- and then I’ll break down everything in detail, pointing out the creative concepts behind my musical decisions.

Consider this collection of my own hooks, riffs and rhythms as a toolbox of musical ideas that you can use to inspire your own solos and rhythm parts -- or even the foundation for writing your own original compositions.”

Robben will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. 

You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are also included to work with on your own.
