Mastering Time 3

This lesson has a total of over 3 hrs of content. For this series I wanted to bring all the technical aspects back down to earth so I brought in a full band to jam completely improvised. After all, our goal here is to create music.

I have also created various loops and of course I include performances of each. 

Years of planning went into this one because I wanted to make sure it had a balanced perspective.

Here is the Chapter listing in order:

Intro/Butterfly Singles(odd based hand patterns)PDF & in depth playing included
