Most challenging yet, and a lot fun.
Sunrise Blues with an adaptive walking bass was quite challenging. It tested my patience and my stubbornness to slow things down. A lot of fun. Glad I stuck it out.
D Major Fun
It was fun relearning the D scale. I also enjoyed the review of Diatonic chords and the simple chord progressions. Learning the inversions and applying them immediately was great! I loved the accompaniment groove 2, adding the 7th. Learning how this is done was fantastic. Thanks Jonny and Yannick for adding so much energy and fun to this course!!
Explanations detailed and precise
Extra comments of the teachers about common songs which use these scale
That course got me. I'm used to ear blues music so I could relate. There's a lot of interesting notions to learn.
Just BRAVO! 👏👏👏
Fun
Had the most fun with this. Liked the tune and could memorize it. The others I had a hard time internalizing the tune
