Today, we'll look at pairing notes in a solo or piece. This is used in blues a lot.

for example;

-12-------------------------------------
-12-------------------------------------
-12-14-12----------------------12-12----
----------14-12----------------12-12-14-
----------------14-12-10----------------
-------------------------10-12----------

--------17p15p12------------------
-15-17-----------17p15p12---------
-14-16--------------------14p12---
-------------------------------14-
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
