Amazing blues
I loved the rhythm and the melody. I can play for hours
Extra learning andfuno
Love the extra tips and lessons not on pdf! Really enjoying practicing side step
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!!
