We decided to mix it up a bit this week and add a new duet performance Craig & Sarah did in the studio during their last visit. They perform a High G / Low G duet performance of "Autumn Leaves" which is taught in the Advanced section.

This is in the Craig & Sarah Duets section of the Learn area, or you can just click here to go right to it!
