Phrasing is just what it says. It's the way the guitar player "phrases" a lick or riff.

Like for example, take Slash's solo of November Rain. The beginning is played with bends over and over. Now, I could just sit here and bend the string over and over, but it wouldn't sound anything like Slash. The way he phrases those bends is what's special about the solo.

Do you get what I'm saying?
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.
