Today's solo hang ended up being all about phrasing...what is good phrasing? What is bad phrasing?  Trying my hand at talking through some musical concepts. Not intended to be an instructional episode, moreso something to inspire discussion or reflection on your own phrasing! Happy playing and tone chasing, y'all!
