"Love Randy's Teaching Style"

I love this lesson, as I do ALL of his (I own them ALL!) Randy has a way of teaching that is so easy going and accessible and "real world". His approach to improvisation and teaching it makes me feel and sound like I'm learning jazz right away without overly focusing on "scale scale mode mode" talk. Every time I learn a tune from him I feel I am armed with the approach of a seasoned pro.
