Week 3 - Zoom Masterclass
Hey Good Lookin' Soloing Concepts March 21st 4pm EST
- Live Zoom lesson free for members. Together we'll be learning soloing concepts, licks and techniques over this Hank Williams classic.
Targeting Chord Extensions - Available 3/9
Check out this lesson on building a stacked Maj13 chord, breaking it up into triads and then building lines and rhythm parts that bring attention to specific groups of extensions. This will definitely change the way you see the neck and think of harmony. I want to see your performance videos in the community.
