Another well presented course by John Proulx
I did get the print outs of the intermediate and advanced scores as these are well worth using as sometimes the “Play along” sections don’t scroll the score fast enough. Other than that this is a very informative and easy to follow course, which included a lot of stuff that I had never encountered before.
Heart and Soul Challenge
John Proulx always explains concepts well. My only complaint is that, during the explanation of the solo, measures 140-147 weren’t visible. They were visible during the run through with the track.
Excellent course.
Amazing content, interesting solo. Thank you Professor John Proulx for that beautiful arrangement.
