Your mouth is your body's instrument and it wants to play too! I heard a good way to come up with your own phrasings for melody and lead and what not is to scat...you know...scoobity doobity bebop boo...then try to play with your guitar what you scat with your mouth...you'll be surprised

scatting is widely used in jazz...it's improvisation...don't worry if your mouth wants to mimick your playing...it's trying to help you out...

besides...do you really think a guitar player with a straight face is interesting?

:eek:
