Very nice. I was randomly picking notes to get a melody but you provide a nice framework.

This is so helpful Vincent! It kind of goes with that lesson in your Chord Mastery course that I was having trouble with today. I'll be watching this one again. Another great lesson from an excellent teacher! 🔥🙏

Good tips! But... By naming Each Keynote or chord by letters is helpful with counting! 😮 Just don't rush the lessons! 😮
