    I’m not a jazz fan - sometimes when I listen to it it seems as if the guitar player is purposely playing all the wrong notes. I just don’t have the ear or talent for it. But your channel is the best - you break down theory and harmony so it is less complex and frustrating so that I can enjoy learning and playing guitar. So thank you for putting these videos out!
