My first course completed!
Although I was familiar with the key of E, I was surprised at how much I got out of the course, especially the two hands playing “In the Country”.
Challenging
Courses are just hard enough to push you along without frustration. Always interesting songs to play.
Good review of forgotten skills
Quick review for me. Realized I already know all this
I love country songs
Country rhythm was new to me and it took a while getting it but it worth the effort.
Definitely lots of fun and challenging
Learning those Floyd Cramer country slip notes and the 2 & 3 note grooves with slip notes was a definite challenge, took quite a lot of work, but a satisfying leap forward in my playing.
