I'm Thinking about the group Skype lesson. I want to try it. I was thinking of 3 guys who know the tune by memory. Maybe intermediate to advanced.
I think for the group lessons we should all be at similar levels. especially if it's only 2…

Thanks to you…

After getting to watch guys like…

i found a cool and fun thing to do which is a good lesson i think. on this video at about 4 minutes chick plays some blues licks which gary instantly repeats together with the audience singing. the blues is in Bb flat and he uses mostly…

Before I continue on working with this I need some feedback.
Maybe some things to know in advance :

this is some spontaneous ideas played in the vibes. it's one take only so forgive about the "mistakes". I generally believe in the one take solo because it's the real you...(you know what I mean). I like to study tunes like that. Also I…
