🎵Melodic Phrasing
mediumTension and Release Waves
Create a 16-beat phrase in A minor pentatonic that builds tension for 12 beats (using bends, higher notes, and closer rhythms) then releases completely in the final 4 beats with one long, low note. Repeat with different tension-building approaches.
Tip: Tension without release is just noise. Release without tension is just boring. Great melodies surf this wave.
