Very challenging course
This lesson was a wake up call to me about playing in rhythm. I thought I was playing with a steady Latin beat. I recorded myself with my phone. Mamacita! I learned ALOT by practicing over and over with the drum and bass track and then with the drum track alone. This was very revealing. There's a combination of listening and looseness that I hope eventually will come more easily.
Key of B Minor
Wow - Yannick explained the reasons for all the Grooves and when and how to use them. Made so much sense on accompaniment approaches. Alot to remember but it's a start.
Nice
I can tell that I don’t listen to much Latin music😀. As always the solo piano with the bass line was the hardest for me to get.
Key of Bm
Great stuff. These courses are always fun, which is really important!
Key of B minor
Good course, again.
