Feb 2022: only the first two lessons available.
The only two lessons at this time are the major pentatonics on the major scale. The difference with other books and videos that describe the same concept is the quality of the improvised examples. And that’s the main reason for taking this course: not much content, yet, but you know Jeff Gardner is demonstrating. And you know he has the Hancock-Tyner piano revolution in his fingers.
You wouldn’t bother to take a saxophone course from a player who hasn’t studied Coltrane and Shorter.
Piano-wise, great. Just hoping Jeff finds the time to take this course further and enough players find their way to this course. The path that he sets out (pentatonic solos over standards and even Giant Steps) sounds really promising.
