Blue Moon Risin', I Got Dem Early "Sunrise Blues"
The Foundational Course just keep getting better from one key to the next! Thoroughly learned the Key of D and some great Blues Chops to with it! This Course was especially near and dear to my heart as I began my music journey playing Blues & Rock on the guitar many Blue Moons ago! To begin to be able to transfer my Blues skill set to the piano has been a special treat!! Most of my early Blues playing was by ear and so getting deeper into the theory was rewarding as well; learning the theory as to why I played what I heard. This has been a great course. I highly recommend it - especially to all you Blues Hungry Cats out there.....
The best!
That is the best course ever!!!
Loved the melody
This harder melody was easier for me. I think it was because it had enough variation that it stuck better in my brain😊
Mind Blown!
This was a great lesson! This is the second one of the beginning lessons the I've completed and I'm starting to see a lot of connections. I want to go through these following the "circle of fifths." I will have to work on the G Major lesson next, but I need to master these skills and post videos before I move on. Jonny and Yannick make the material very engaging and I really appreciate how they encourage improvisation and experimentation!
thorough fundament
Fun bluesy tune in the key of D and extensive excersises in (blues) rhytm
