FANTASTIC lesson, as always 😊

Love this - I once read or heard that jazz is one song - now I get it! Thank you. :)

This approach has transformed my playing. Know a key well before you start tunes in that key, with relatively little work, you suddenly know all the tunes you already play in that key, which in turn means you know those songs better, and new tunes in that key come faster. Shan’s approach does exactly what it says, builds jazz skills to develop fluency which then leads to freedom in playing. It’s not a quick fix, it’s not a trick or hack, it’s dedicated work but it pays off.

Does the course include screenshots with the keys shown in colour for different chord progressions ? as my sight reading is not very good tbh… great lesson

Love this channel bro!!

gotta hand it to you, I do agree with your sense of logic many times just intuitively. I was playing some tunes by advice from someone, and I do have some understanding on jazz harmony. But probably studying a bit more and getting a little bit more systemetical about it, seems right. But I also think there is a balance here

"know your ingredients more than your tunes".... Humm - sounds like COOKING!
Brilliant

Great job ❤

you must learn the tunes to learn the language. But you also must learn about the different types of chords and scales.
