Mike My practice routine on this site is to immerse myself in a lesson. . .in between life's "distractions".  These practice "immersions" may last anywhere from 5 minutes to an...

Sweet turnaround at the end Duke!   Question .. I find I also like chord progressions like this more than lead lines at times.  Is that strange I think that maybe my true soloing...
