Thanks so much Mark..and a wonderful Christmas Season to you and your Family. Thank you also for the fantastic Lessons.
I am a beginner ,but will try this piece
as soon as possible.
Thank you again for the good work…..Merry Christmas.
Simple. Really? Trying to hold down that F#m7 on the run up is a killer. And the stretch on the Bm7. Or is it just me? Anyone else give this a go?
Brilliantly presented as ever though Mark. Thanks.
Hope to have perfected it by Christmas.
Am almost at the end of it! only 4 more bars to go.. I love everything that arrangement! It’s quite challenging, it took me 5 days up to now, But it worth it! Thanks Mark!
Great little gem of a lesson! Beautiful arrangement, pretty challenging to get my fingers to stretch to places they are definitely not accustomed to. I’ve spent about an hour working on this and have most of the fingerings down, will probably need to spend a few days on it to get it smooth and in tempo so I can record for my family as a “virtual christmas card.” The clock is ticking…
Thanks as always Mark and have yourself a great holiday season!
