Fills That Serve the Song (2)
Now that you’re starting to see and feel these two shapes, we’re going to use them to create fills that sound polished and professional — the kind you can use in everyday playing across many styles of music.
A quick note about fills:
The best time to use them is when there’s space.
For example, during a verse when the singer pauses for a couple of seconds — that’s a perfect moment. Or right after a chorus when there’s a gap and no other instrument is playing.
Fills should add flavor, not clutter. They shine when they have room to breathe.
We’ll practice a few together so you can start recognizing those moments — and confidently step into them.
