In today's episode I have on special guest Steve Nixon from freejazzlessons.com to talk all things jazz and music. It's a fun, diverse episode where we talk about a number of topics, but especially chord progressions.
Steve is a phenomenal music educator and he has a way of making music feel simple. He goes over 3 categories of chord progressions you need to know and demonstrates how pretty much all chord progressions can be summed up in those categories.
Here's a bit of what we talk about in this episode:
1. What Steve is working on in the practice room.
2. How Steve's experience traveling and playing music has led him to his musical success.
3. Three categories that most all chord progressions can be attributed to.
4. His new course "Play Like Ray" and how it can help you.
If you're looking for an especially entertaining listen, and even a little bit of hilarity, this is an episode I don't want you to miss.
