I'm not reviewing any one product. I simply wanted to thank Nick for providing great products. A few months ago I was feeling that my playing was getting stale. I poked around Youtube and found Nick and the Coltrane Pentatonic. I became enamoured with the sound and possibilities. Of course I made my way to the website and have since added several other products. The bottom line is Nick and all the fine musicians that help with demos.....etc have rekindled the theory bug for me and for that I say thank you!
