      I agree with you Simon! This membership is a great tool for all of us.

      Just some advice on my end, as I sometimes have the issue of wanting to play fast, but end up making a sloppy sounding mess, is to go back to the basics, and sit down with a metronome. I have one for free from an app on my phone. I start very slow, and work on each note, and work on the articulation as well. Then speed it up in little increments. For me, this method helps make it into muscle memory, and really makes playing the difficult song more enjoyable! For example, Johnny has an awesome arrangement of Pick Up the Pieces! I have always wanted to learn that song, but had issues where I would want to rush and miss some of the notes. The metronome fixed that problem and helped me with my fingering technique!

        $19 won’t even get you 30 minutes with an instructor.
        Great deal!!!
        I’ve been a part of other premium sites. Hopefully you will do some live online master class sessions in the future where you have your premium members play and talk about issues and give live advice while other member watch. So much learning for everyone!!

              Are you kidding me? Less than a dollar a day for all that is here! Amazing how some people are? I have been with Johnny for 5 years! I started way late! 75 and counting. I did one of his scales lessons today. The one that he said he used hen he started. Great. Nice way to approach the scales. I even upped the tempo and got it! Yeha! Tim

                      Memorizing can take a while but when done, that’s when it can sound better. I’m able to memorize anything, as long as I play it a billion times everyday for several months.
