Also includes PDF in tab, notation and chord grids for every lesson plus Mp3 play along practice tracks.
STUDENT COMMENT: Rich, I just wanted to let you know that the Just Friends lessons are incredible!
Especially the Improv Insights lesson where you discuss outlining the changes with Chord Tones, and voice-leading them, superimposing arpeggios, and scale choices.........then to boot a couple of extra choruses of you soloing at the end. There is a ton of great info here that of course can be applied to other tunes also. I especially liked the part on the video where you are doing descending chromatic Guide tones and showing us how to use them in a solo.......A lot of the instructional materials out there do not address the fact that you can use guide tones that target many different notes besides just the 3rd and the 7th.............. I also figured out some comping using those chromatic guide tones as a top voice in my chord........Wow, what an effect! Thanks again, and you deserve special recognition for having such great, well thought out lessons, and especially for selling them at such a good, reasonable price........Sincerely, Bob B from Chicago.
