Essential!
With its original melodies and backup tracks, this course will make learning to play these essential dominant 7th chords a lot more fun. These chords and concepts were already very familiar to me but I found it challenging to have the left hand learn the shapes of the three different inversions. I plan to take the supplemental lessons that help you ingrain these shapes into muscle memory.

Challenging but very exciting!!!
Loving it!!!!
Finger dexterity!
What I enjoyed was the challenge of working my fingers more as for me, those are more difficult. Fingers in my left hand wanted to slide to white keys. I liked melody lines for "Little Biddle Band" and an earlier lesson in this course was Jonny's take is similar to "Watermelon Man"
7ths
Easy too
