Key of C
Great beginner course.
Clear explanation of Inversions
Showing the beauty of opening up chords by spreading tones over the keyboard
For any player
Even if you are like me, an intermediate player, I suggest that you should proof yourself that your are able to play each course until you get to your "level". It´s the only way to be srue that you really are able to play once again with no or at least almost zero mistakes. It´s what I´m doing and I like it!!!
Challenging but Fun!
I decided to return to basics, so unlearning bad habits and installing good ones is challenging. This course took me the longest to master, and it can be disheartening, like learning the song and being able to play in time to the backing track, only to re-learn it with inversions. It takes persistence and discipline, but remember that anything worth having takes time and effort, and the PWJ membership offers enormous value. So, thank you so much, PWJ team. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I will be happy to record myself playing!
It was a lot of fun and I learned alot about playing with different grooves.
Learning about the groove options, inversions, and broken chords. Changing the rhythm made it interesting and fun
