Video Content and On-line Lessons
We are still looking for a practical and consistent delivery method for our Rockabilly courses; it has proven much harder to publish these lessons than anticipated :/ Cool Cats members who have completed the Rockabilly courses may request access to these lessons via YouTube. However, restrictions on private videos mean that numbers are limited.
Check out the Lesson Notes & Videos page, or head to our YouTube Channel, to take a look at the course routines and other video content!
Please email us for more information.
