To repeat the opinion of the other pleased customers, this lesson is fantastic. Attention and creativity in the dimension of rhythm can really revitalize your playing. Tom shows how it's done.
I have been playing and teaching professionally for 25 years. In my opinion Tom's classes on the fascinating and challenging topic of rhythm are, simply put, the best. I highly, highly recommend them.
Another very happy customer here. Tom has crammed lots of information in here and a lot of it looks at concepts in a unique way. I agree with the comment about it all being fresh material. I'm looking forward to getting some of his other videos once I feel I've sufficiently absorbed some of this - it may take some time....
