You know what’s super helpful? When you played through the rhythm chords and put the chord names up! Now I don’t have to struggle to figure out how to play that sweet song.

Subscribed. You're awesome and very good at explaining things. I feel since i improved my technique and knowledge of the intervals i can start working on phrasing since i have a long way to go!

Love your lesson. I wrote the chord progression out as a 8 - bar form in 6/8 .
Would that be the groove ?
Cheers
