[@johnrussell29]

Hi Jonny, I love the guide tone approach you taught. I have a question though, what about chords bigger than a 7th chord. For example a G9 or G11. How do you approach something larger than a 7th chord using the guide tone approach? Do you just keep the 3 and 7 and just add the higher extension on to it, or do you get rid of the 7 and play the 3 and the 9 or 11 or whatever extension you doing? Please clarify that for me. Or if anyone else out there knows the answer. Thanks,

[@arianahunt1073]

Im going to try your course. Would it be good for me? I’m classically trained, I can play Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, but I can’t do jazz. I love to sing and my goal is to be able to accompany myself as I sing jazz standards like Blossom Dearie. ❤

[@nigelworwood8530]

Nice vocals as well
