I'm leaving Jazz Guitar Accelerator. I'm moving on to writing music. Thank you Marc-Andre for your quality teaching, your dedication to your students, and the many accomplishments over the years (I've followed you for quite a few years now). Thank you to all of you JGA nembers: supportive and kind attitude, a keen longing to learn more -- all the best! As a parting gift, I'm sharing a last video of me improvising over the All of Me JGA jam session track. In it, I try to have an enthusiasm that's contagious to you all.

I worked on learning this over the weekend. Very ruff around the edges & in-between but all are welcome to blurb 🤠👍 https://share.icloud.com/photos/0061l4ya59PfR3fdfwNDeaoNQ

There's a tuner out there called the ROADIE 4 smart automatic tuner. It's one of those automatic string winding tuners that will actually crank the tuner for you and bring the string up to pitch. These have been a dream of mine for many years since I cannot use the standard visually oriented tuners. However, I'm not sure it would be much better than my own ears and the little software app I use called "talking tuner" that tells me when a string is in or near to pitch. Tuning has been a long time frustration for me and I wonder if anybody has heard anything or has any experience with this roadie 4 smart automatic tuner. The reviews are good, for what they're worth, and I've spoken to the manufacturer and they assure me that they have many blind users of their product. So, it would probably be easy for me to use but I'm not sure if it would be worth the $$$.

I had to slow this down from 160 BPM to 150 to get the last bit of the melody somewhat playable. If anyone has any recommendations for how to finger that I'd love to hear it. I feel like my comping is continuing to improve. I'm still frustrated with my improv, but have been working through the Jazz Vocabulary course here and I'm beginning to see some slight improvement. Apologies for the audio balance being a little off. I should've dialed back my guitar a bit, or boosted the backing track. Oh, and I flubbed the ending! 🫠 Feedback welcomed! @Coach Gabriel Sebrian @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin
