Very helpful course
I love how Johnny builds up the material for Jazz. I find it helpful as a mid-beginner, intermediate, for both groups. Thank you so much for helping me to learn and understand how Jazz works. Just great!
Fun, so interesting and yes, a challenge! 5 stars
I loved learning the building blocks to play solo jazz. The walking bass with chromatic moves and the stock chords to fill etc.
