Dominant 7 ths - Much neeeded Review and workout
The layout and structure.
Get your 7th chords down!
Previously I knew a few 7th chords that I commonly played and 'figured' out the rest. This course takes you through all 12 in digestible chunks and now I have them all down!
Delightful course
Enjoyed each one of the tunes but my favorite was the Little Biggie Band! Great way to practise all chords.
Challenging and keeping me on learning
I liked the different melodies used to work on the chords
Lots of Blue Funk
The little insights that come with the basic ideas mean so much! I really do appreciate those asides.
