I have gone through everyone's The Spy videos and am pleased to announce that @Takayuki Watanabe is the winner!!! He stuck to the task at hand of playing for the song, with great feel and energy. Can we all please congratulate Takayuki. I have also decided to hand out a couple of runner-up prizes. Please check your inbox for a message. Thank you all so much for your videos, I can't wait to hand out your next assignment (coming in January).

Hey friends, a few of you have asked me how to move up levels. As you may have noticed, you all start on level 1 and you have limited access to some of the courses on the Classroom tab. The only way you earn points is when other members like your posts or comments. 1 like = 1 point. Higher level = more access. It is setup this way to encourage engagement and build the overall positive vibe that I wish for this group. Want to know a quick way to get more likes? Comment on other members' comments in any post (or below) and the likes will start rolling in.

Hey folks, Alongside the resources in the Classroom tab, I'm going to start creating lessons on how to play common grooves with brushes. What groove would you like to learn first?
