This lesson is for members

Buying an instrument can be an intimidating process, especially when you don't know the folks you're buying from! In this series, Jake gives us an education on the basics to look and listen for so that you can have confidence while shopping! (Or, you can just buy from my General Store and not worry about it.)

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
