    1. Hey Teri,

      Replay is up there now. I'm working on a system to automate this so the replay gets online sooner. Look for that in the near future. In the meantime it may take up to 24 hours to get the replay online.

  2. I am auditing this class (bc I am working on Paul's class). That said, I listened in, and I loved Nina's suggestion that is ok to just play the chords with this Bossa Groove. It sounded so good when she did just that, so I want to at least learn that from this class. Great stuff, thx!

    PS Thanks also for all the listening suggestions, Nina!
