In this lesson I discuss ways of creating intros and endings. Although I have provided plenty of transcribed examples, the main focus of the lesson is to teach you to be able to create interesting intros and endings on any tune. I also discuss some of the most common (quick and easy) endings that are regularly used on informal gigs. Enjoy the lesson!
