Excellent course!
I enjoyed the content, it was very entertaining and interesting. Thank you so much for the explanation and demonstration. 😍
Loving the sentimental
Really enjoyed this very well put together course on playing the sentimental progression with the simple and beautiful scale for improvisation on top.
Sweet melodic sounds and simple to learn
My first love is new age so this was a refeeshing break from sooo much jazz emphasis. This early lesson from Jonny shows why his site is so popular now. I’ll be digging through more older lessons like this one.
