Fun course
Locke all the courses so far it takes in steps thru the key and it is a good start. I probably could be more precise in my playing and groove. I close so am anxious to see what is next.
Great course
This was really fun course. I love the final accompaniment groove,though it did take a while to get it locked in.
Loved the course!
Course is interesting and educational. It will take a lot of practice to get up to speed.
