Great stuff
Love it, but as all these exercises add up, how does one remember all of them to practice indefintely? I like the full length song at the end of the lessons. ; )
Excellent exercise
Contains good exercises, but it takes time to learn
Very helpful materials.
I love PWJ courses well broken down
Well broken down and easy to follow
Minor 2-5-1 rootless voicings is another great resource from PWJ
Extremely useful... worth a 10
Rigorous, hand independence against LH rhythm. A loan together... soundslice doesnt swing but my yamaha does... great job John... sounding jazzy at last with rootless chords...give a good feel of playing jazz... thank you
