Nice point
Really liked the chord progression with the walk in's.
really looking forward to this series, but I think I'll go catch up on some of Will's other stuff first.
Sweet!
This lesson really helped me to both break out of the chord boxes that I had been using and put together some of the arpeggio and triad shapes I had learned. As always will is awesome too.
