Great to learn chord shells
Fun and awesome as always. One problem I'm having is when I learn so much, I forget how to play old stuff I used to play.
Clear and fundamental
I think that this approach is very good. I didn't use chord shell so far, and it seems the first step to reach later the ability to apply this gradual method to more complex chords.
Fantastic course, well structured, fun and really good for growth!
It is well structured, teaches you effectively, and the backing tracks are excellent to play with! Will come back and share my course performance as soon as possible
Consistent. Thorough
This course gives room and space to thoroughly train the 251 progression. It needs some extra time to train tempo
thorough and very educational
Great, basic exercises to learn and master shells in all the keys
