Roundup for blues soloing techniques
The Blues Improvisation Challenge is a great recapitulation of essential soloing techniques. It is fun to play if you did the other blues scale lessons before or a deep dive with ten lesson blues challenge 1 & 2.
I thought I knew a lot about the blue’s scale!
I am a “basic” in every sense of the word but I have been working with this particular blues scale ever since I was very young. I thought I knew it well but this class opened my eyes to so much more. The way Jonny taught it, it opened my eyes and mind to improvising at an all new level. What’s even better is, Jonny made it clear that he was just scratching the surface. I’m very excited. Thank you
Love It!!!
I really enjoyed and learnt so much this course!! Turns and rolls drive me crazy!!! love it!! thank you so much
I like the rolls
Quite some overlap with the 10 Lessons blues challenge, but the roles at the end are worth it.
my second blues course
after the 10 day blues challenge, I quickly worked through this... I love the rolls and turns
