This was a great exercise for switching chord-grips quickly and accurately, hybrid grabs, and rhythm. Each track took me several takes (I am shooting for 1 take on these assignments by the end of the year).

I love how Michael refers to the chords and the melody components by interval numbers. This assignment started with the "C shape" for D#/Eb (the 1-chord), so it was really good to have to think about the 4, 5 and 6 chords from this perspective. I am used to starting with an E-shape 1-chord, so this was another very beneficial trip outside of my comfort zone.

Simple song made into a great lesson
