To all the classes:
I mentioned this in class last night, but I would like all of you to start working on creating a jig solo using the steps we have learned. I would love for some of you if not all of you to put together at least 32 bars of a jig solo. We will work on them in class next week. The solo can be mapped out or improvise. For those of you who are wanting more feedback and critique we will be working on that as well.
