"Zero to Improv"

Got a very special video for you today.

I recently recorded an interview with a great musician and educator Brett Pontecorvo about making scales musical on my podcast, the LJS podcast. Thought I’d also share it here with you on YouTube as well.

If you like stuff like this and you want me to post more interviews with my guest here, feel free to leave me a comment below and let me know.

Without further ado, let’s jump right to it, my interview with Brett Pontecorvo about making scales musical.
