Great tune to work on
I love how John breaks it down and we learn it systematically. John shows how to count the triplets and semi's - really detailed and a really good pace
Like having my instructor next to me
I took the course as a beginner the first time around, but this time, I upped my game and surprised myself. I'm getting there. Maybe next year, I will be at an advanced level.
Great Challenge!
Very creative and understandable. Well done!
