Simply "Funkalicious!"
Great Course! I am enjoying the gradual increase in difficulty as I progress through each of the subsequent Foundational Courses. The original tunes are becoming more challenging rhythmically and the technique builders like the finger "slides" and Blues Scales improvisation tips are fantastic!! I'm starting to feel like I could become an accomplished Jazz/Blues soloist if I can master each new set of challenges, one "Funkalicious" bite at a time. Great Job PWJ!!
Challenging but fun
I learned a new rhythm and so many other things.
hard but rewarding
took several days to complete but feels achieving good finger control at the end.
Fun
Very interactive
Love it!
Overall, I think the course is excellent. Everything is broken into small pieces, which helped me gain confidence and inspired me to keep going.
