Fun and a bit challenging
The first time I tried playing Sunrise Blues, I had a very hard time, but with some practice it got a bit easier. I also enjoyed the accompaniment part at the end. It was my first time playing a shuffle groove. That was fun.
Nice Blues beginner stage
Awesome lessons
loved it
Feels like Im getting somewhere. My fingers are starting to go to chords before I think about it. So fun
Still having fun
Every key exposes one to different genres of music which is great.
Simply great fun
As blues is one of my favourite style, I found that one as a pure enjoyment.
