Fun and structured
I like the approach. Step by step and easy to follow
Free Country Tune with This Course!
This course includes an original country-style melody that is pretty simple, but very beautiful and authentic sounding, with slip-notes and country twang! The E-major scale has four sharps, so there is a little more overhead when sight-reading. It would be fun to arrange a similar tune sometime...
Very educational
As always PwJ breaks it all down into small pieces which allows you to focus on each piece one at a time and when you’re ready you put it all together, just don’t get impatient and jump ahead before you are ready.
Very satisfying.
My main hurdle has been getting to grips with the system but you have been patient in providing guidance. I am now beginning to look at learning in a totally different way and it is really exciting.
Really enjoyed it, challenging!
Great course pity I don't like country music though. Also prefer Jonny as an instructor. This is challenging especially the inversions but really worthwhile, also getting musical sounds from the chord progressions and using different fingering on the keys, block, arpeggio and different patterns
