The thrill is not gone from Gil Parris when he shows you a lick from the artist he has studied. He shows ways to draw in the audience that you maybe performing for with teaching classic licks and adding spice to them in his lessons from his courses. His versatility is the lesson that is being taught. I'm only hoping l that I take in ten percent of his approach to playing and learning to master the guitar.

Both these courses are absolutely phenemenal but the Smooth Jazz course..........just so much great information and ideas that help us bust out of any rut!! These are deceptive in that you throw us well placed fastballs but with time and patience I can see a HUGE difference in my overall playing and confidence as I stretch out on this fretboard!! Just great stuff...........even after 3 or more years now!!
