First rhythmic device: simplification.
Remove notes from the melody, to make the melody less complex.
Key: picking which notes to remove and which notes to keep and to emphasize\
How to do this?
- analyze the melody and dermine which are the key tones and which are passing tones
- look at the notes durations
- the imp notes are often the longer ones
- the shorter notes are the passing tones
1. look at beat 1 and beat 3, strong beat, take out the others.
2.simply by keeping the chord tones
3. eliminate the syncopation by turning the off beat rhythm into straight 8th or quarter notes
Simplify the melody: you create a solo that sounds familiar yet is subtly different from the original
