Excellent
Loved this course like most courses on the site. But really enjoyed the Int/Adv Rolls at the end! I originally joined PWJ a while ago with no prior knowledge of blues and boogie. That’s certainly changed! 👍😁
My First Blues Improve.
My head felt super blank at first but I'm playing something now. 1hr practice everyday should get me somewhere.
Blues improv challenge
In a word - Fantastic! Very clear explanations for all the levels. I’ve played piano for some time now, but never come across anything that is so well structured and clear in the way that Jonny teaches. I’m currently working on intermediate level and in the past, I have found that my improvisations were very repetitive and just going up and down the blues scale. This course has given me so many more tools and I especially love playing the turns.
Very challenging
I am enjoying the up and down eight notes and triplets.
Great intro to Blues improv
Good mix of beginner and intermediate blues skills
