“Hi, my name is Mitch. I've been playing guitar for quite a few years. In the past two years I've gotten interested in playing jazz and fingerstyle jazz guitar. I came across jazz as Academy about two months ago and about a month ago I decided to try the free week trial. That allowed me to look through the content and the material and I was able to get a good idea of what was going to be offered in the in the training. So I signed up. I'm glad I did. In the first week I was able to learn a tune jazz standard, learn the melody, the progression and an improv. That wasn't too difficult, but it sure was helpful in beginning to understand better how to put jazz lines together. So I have been really happy with how the material has been laid out and what I'm learning from it. Jazz Academy has a great curriculum. Chase has done a great job in explaining the material for each lesson and learning in a methodical way, really, which is helpful to me. I learned best that way how to start putting jazz language together. Also there's a jazz community and you can post videos and they're the members do are just so kind and supportive and encouraging. And Chase also looks at the videos and posts comments often with good recommendations, things that he sees that are right on for a player like me to correct and work on improving. So I, I really like the site and I'm playing, I'm using it a lot, a lot. And as I said in the past, I've struggled to learn jazz language in the past and to put put it together, it just seemed like a bunch of puzzle pieces and I just couldn't fit it together. But with Chaz's curriculum, I'm beginning to see how it can fit together and I can develop better jazz skills as a player, as a guitar player. So I wanted to share that with you. Thanks for listening and hope you continue to grow in your jazz journey.”
