This was fantastic. Everyone did a great job, and it was a lot of fun. I’d love to see more of this. I’ll suggest a few: David Bennett Piano, Mary Spender, Justice Cow, Ben Levin, Adam Neely, Rob Scallon, Andrew Huang, and Rick Beato. I’m sure I’ll enjoy whoever it is.

You just named the entire music yakuza octovirate, hope it happens!

Is anything outside of Ben Levin's comfort zone?

[@lofiworkshop]

@@gwalla Fair enough!

Thanks for the beat counter on the last one I finally fully understand weird time signatures

[@JackKapral]

These are my propositions for the next one :D Next one: Ola Englund - jazz. Bernth - rockabilly. Sara Longfield - black metal. Ichika Nito - something really minimalistic, like Earths - "Bees Made Honey in Lion Skull" Herman Li - 70's funk. 2Sich - reggae :D.

This was great! Would love to see Adam Neely and Charles Cornell in a future episode!

Holy shit; Jared did amazing! Dude was like a skinny, white BB King! I've also found that 7/4 is pretty badass

Super cool idea!!! My friend and I played as lefty’s for 20 minutes last night and we just laughed at how fun it was being a beginner again🦄🙆

SammyG u killed it with that prog rock piece!! As well as the odd times I really appreciated the note choices!!

[@sabastianwilliams499]

Rotem and I are completely different, he understand the complex odd jazz chords and runs so well and can’t see out of it to more basic music and I still struggle so much to find the funky jazz chords, it’s amazing how much we all still can learn, this all was an incredible idea!

Big ups to everyone in this vid! Going out of your comfort zone off the cuff and performing for an untold amount of people can really be scary. I admire everyone’s courage and musical talent
