Great lesson
Excellent Jonny I loved this one.
Very nice bag of riffs!
Jonny is a great blues teacher! Pretty clear and step by step, he goes into more complex stuff, but always with fun!
Great for building repertoire!
Really helps to deepen the understanding of playing blues. Specially with the smart note sheet, that can be used to play in other tunes as well. You will get hooked :D
Really Fun!
Great repertoire of blues riffs to use in your own playing. It really motivates me to become a better player, thanks Jonny.
