Great job, Jonny May. Excellent explanation and beautiful content.Thank you very much for your time and patience.
Fun course!
I enjoyed how Jonny taught this class step by step. By the end I could play The Bare Necessities slowly, but with a sense of flair. I will keep practicing it and bring up my tempo. Fun!!
New Concepts
I was introduced to harmony and how to choose the tones of a chord that support the melody.
Superb!
Super comprehensive, fun to play, and an excellent way to learn the stride style!
