The best!
That is the best course ever!!!
Loved the melody
This harder melody was easier for me. I think it was because it had enough variation that it stuck better in my brain😊
Mind Blown!
This was a great lesson! This is the second one of the beginning lessons the I've completed and I'm starting to see a lot of connections. I want to go through these following the "circle of fifths." I will have to work on the G Major lesson next, but I need to master these skills and post videos before I move on. Jonny and Yannick make the material very engaging and I really appreciate how they encourage improvisation and experimentation!
thorough fundament
Fun bluesy tune in the key of D and extensive excersises in (blues) rhytm
Key of D
Another good course. I learned something new--the side step which I plan on using in my piano playing when I can. Thank you.
