3 INSTRUCTIONAL DVDs & 1 SHED SESSION DVD PACKAGE - The contemporary sound that you hear musicians play today is one that has been evolving for many years. Musicians have exposed themselves to new sounds that they eventually assimilated to make the music they play more interesting. The only problem with that was that not everyone had that same exposure to the contemporary sound. Well that's not a problem anymore.
Introducing the Urban Contemporary Mega Pack!! This package is an ESSENTIAL library addition for those that want to get a grasp of the contemporary sound. Jamal Hartwell is a well respected Gospel musician who has performed with many top artists in the industry.

Urban Worship Classic and Urban Worship XTreme are two DVDs that give you countless examples of styles coupled with execution. TriTone Extravanganza explores the TriTone in a way that no one has. You get a description of what the TriTone is and HOW to apply it. In the MIDI Shed Session, Jamal teams up with Byron Chambers to give you an "out of this world" experience on the keys. You get to see EVERYTHING that Byron is doing and you can stop, rewind, and slow down so you can get every lick.
All of the DVDs include an easy to view illustrated keyboard across the top of the screen so that you don't miss one note that is played.
