Fly me to the moon
Again, a great course. Still practicing the song.
Love the Walking Bass
As with Challenges 1 and 2, a complete course with practical, organized instruction taking us from playing the tune with both hands, including a great walking bass, to a sophisticated, cool sounding solo. Great to see scales and techniques applied to solos in a totally usable way.
GREAT COURSE---LOVED IT!
Another great course by John Proulx! I appreciate all the details he goes through as he goes through the each lesson. A great plus for me is the "Sample Solo". This definitely gives me a blueprint for not only a better understanding, but to help me learn to do my own thing.
Love it
fun to follow, very clear explanation
What a fun course!
John makes these challenges so easy to follow. His approach is so relaxed, it’s hard to believe you’re getting so much information and instruction. It’s pure pleasure to be learning this way! Thanks so much, John!
