Well, this is the end of the 30-day challenge. If you had any New Year's resolutions regarding your piano practice, I hope this challenge helped you build momentum towards those goals. As I said at the beginning of this challenge, I wanted to give you a practical method that you can later apply to any jazz standards. There are two other mini-courses on my channel that follows the same method:

Autumn Leaves Improvisation - https://youtu.be/Qef0Q_LN07g
All of Me Improvisation - https://youtu.be/N4vkCOBG0Wg

These lessons in a nutshell:
Step 1: Know the chord progression (Walking Bass + Rootless Voicings)
Step 2: Know your scales
Step 3: Add arpeggios
Step 4: Add enclosures
Step 5: Add Rhythm (Play & Rest Approach)

Now that you have completed this challenge, you will notice that things are starting to make much more sense - especially when it comes to analyzing my jazz etudes in this youtube channel :)

Of course, this is just the beginning of a beautiful journey into the world of jazz, but now you have a strong foundation, so you can feel grounded when you start adding extra elements to your improvisation. If you feel the hunger to dig even deeper, I certainly want to be here to feed your knowledge, skills, and abilities.

This 30-day challenge was my way of saying thank you. Not long ago, I reached 100 000subscribers, and I did not want to take that for granted. The next big milestone is 250 000 for me, and when that happens, I will be back with another challenge/course. (It would be nice to brainstorm together on the next topic ;))

I will take the next few weeks to recharge and prepare some quality content for this channel. Until then, I wish you well.
Thank you for being here!
See you soon.
David
