Jerry Lee - the ultimate in signposting
- breaks tend to come at familiar spots - 8 bars 12 bars 16 bars but are also usually given a heads up in the music - there could be a vocal clue or an obvious drum motet etc etc
for the original question though - depends on the break is the obvious answer, for tracks like Stood Up by Ricky Nelson, you would be foolish to mark all of the breaks with a freeze - they come along sooooooooo often that it's a real challenge to think of something new to do each time.
My preference is to acknowledge that the break is there but to keep the pulse going somewhere - hips, feet, shoulders it really doesn't matter (also helps with Gadgets point about restarting)
