Isn't She Lovely - Tutorial Video

I've created a tutorial video for one of my most popular arrangements / recordings, my version of Stevie Wonder's 'Isn't She Lovely.'  This video contains over 50 minutes of video instruction, going through this arrangement note by note, chord by chord.  It covers the first two melody choruses as well as the first two choruses of the solo, explaining my thought process through the harmonies and soloing techiques. 

Here's a quick preview of what you'll receive.  The full video is available for $29.99, just click on the purchase link below.  Thanks!

I also wanted to let you know about a series of videos I do on my Patreon page called 'Performance and Analysis.'  Each week I take a classic Jazz or Blues standard, play a couple choruses, and then go through and examine some of the key harmonic and improvisational concepts. 

It's great for those of you who want to take a deeper dive into the music.  Below is a quick excerpt from my look at All The Things You Are.  If you're interested, visit me on Patreon at: www.patreon.com/benpatersonmusic
