Thanks Megan! Those duets sounded fantastic!
Michael, thank you so much! It was so fun to do. I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Fantastic! Some great ideas and so great to see how backup rhythms are so effective. Love seeing as you got progressively more inventive and complex with the chords and passing chords.
What a wonderful example of classsic seconding! I’ve been looking for that for a long time ever since I saw Howard Rains and Tricia Spencer do it. Thanks so much!
Very helpful! I would love to be able to watch just the accompanyment parts for Old Joe Clark and Soldiers Joy if that is possible.
