💬 Lesson Description
Recently, a student in one of my courses introduced me to a useful website.
It’s an online version of the Real Book, and it’s available for free.
If you’re not familiar, the Real Book is a collection of lead sheets that jazz musicians use often to learn songs quickly.
In this video, I show you a few ways that we can practice with the online Real Book.
I also go over some features on the website that make it better than playing with the normal Real Book!
I hope you enjoy this lesson and find it beneficial.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Thanks! :)
