Misty Challenge - February 2024
i'm enjoying the course but I can not download the pdf.... it indicates that it is an external resource...???
Amazing course!
It was a great melody and solo. I enjoyed the course. Thank you very much Professor John Proulx for the explanation. Thank you very much.
Excellent teaching. Course level was just right for me
I started by just playing LH shells and RH single note melody from a fake book. Then I started incorporating ideas from this course. After a month I could play the song as John arranged it to tempo except for the embellishments. I'll take more of these jazz standard courses.
