Key of G
I am actually am an intermediate player, but after taking several classes, I decided I wanted to see what I was missing in the beginner classes. So, I’ve taken them from the beginning and I’ve learned things I didn’t know or practice before so it’s been very worthwhile. Great class, again. Thank you.
Well organized steps
Reinforcing the power of inversions
Just right to progress skills and understanding.
I’m definitely moving through courses at my own pace. This course competently builds on the previous course and I do feel I’m building good foundations despite desperate to jump ahead. It’s great that it is challenging enough for me to realise that at the moment it would not be right to skip over these valuable lessons
Fun little tunes for dexterity exercise
Really helping get my brain used to left right independence
Actually understanding
It isn’t hard for me to read the music but I am, for once, beginning to understand chord progressions and how inversions are actually used . Very exciting and makes a change from mindlessly reading some notes on the page ! I have made progress with being able to play with a backing track which was nearly impossible for me in the first lesson .
