Jimmy Raney is one of those guitarists who can start something like a blues lick and then turn it into a II V I line in another key while playing a 3/4 pattern over a 4/4 meter.

It is always a good idea to have strong concepts to work with when you are soloing and in this video, I am going to look at one aspect of how Jimmy Raney improvises.

This may seem like an idea that is almost random, but the way he repeats phrases and melodies, sometimes within one line really makes his lines solos sound great, and analyzing this and working on doing this in your own playing is not a waste of time.
