    After George benson I’ve not seen heard anything close. In fact - I shouldn’t compare with George’s version. This is in a class all by itself. You know I’m a fan and subscriber

    I am a terminal beginner at jazz, trying to make a transition from bossa nova by tabs, but I really love the jazz/fusion sound you have. This is a memorable tune with such nice rephrasing that I would love spending hours and hours practicing this. But as a beginner, I am wondering if a couple of things this beginner really needs is included with the course,
    1 - That great backing track.
    2 - Tabs for some at least some of the phrasing
    I have those same questions for your release of the course covering 'Impressions' as well . Love the upbeat but brooding modal stuff as well.
    Your playing really gets me high, and the only higher I could get is if I come close to putting my own beginner's voice on it.

      @BarryGreene  8 років тому

      +Megalith I play the solo with a drum groove. Once I've edited the lesson I'll bring it into protools and add guitar, bass and keys. It's backwards but this way I'm actually accompanying myself!

      +Megalith no. It's not really a backing track. Like I said, I accompany myself after editing the lesson. I wouldn't feel comfortable with those out there. They are purely for enhancing the lesson.

    This is one of my all time favorite lessons but i have «drumgenius» too and i couldn't find a drum pattern with this kick sound and with transitions in it.
    Sorry Barry but you've got to let this one available, this piece is so important for guitarists and the other backing stuff sucks.
    Or make a second «affirmation lesson» with the backing track included like you do now, i am sure we will be thousands to buy it!
