Website Tour — November 2024

Nov 1, 2024


About This Video

Hey there, my friends! Here’s a website tour for November 2024, showing the latest state of things around the Song Notes website — including a few recent updates I’ve made throughout the site. Give it a watch, and as always let me know if you have any questions!

Not a Member? Join Before the November 8th Price Raise!

As I state in the video above, prices for new members only will increase on Friday, November 8th. Join before then and you’ll be locked in at the lower price for the duration of your membership!

New Design for Course & Topic Pages…

Each of these course/topic sections use the new page design I show in the video above… where the left sidebar shows all lessons in each section. This makes for an easier way to browse similar lessons, and likewise move forward/backward between lessons. Check it out!

Other Items I Mention…

  • Melody Deep-Dives – here’s all my lessons where I dive into the vocal (or instrumental) melody a song uses, showing how to play it note by note.
  • Jambox – all my video jam tracks in one place. Super helpful for playing along to practice!
