Wonderful lessons
I like the way you your lessons repetition is the mother of all skill
Fun course!
I enjoyed learning a new scale, and got a bang out of learning to play Funkalicious!
Challenging for sure but reinforcing
The challenge of putting fundamentals together
Enjoyable
Good overview of G Minor
Great course.. challenging groove
This was a fun course with some challenges. Gettin the slip notes in took some time.
Love d the process
Especially like teh descending bass line with the inversions on the accompaniment
Challenging but fun
Doesn’t waste time practicing same thing over and over. Always something new.
Fast song for old fingers
Enjoy the course. Not able to play the solo with the backing tract but able to play the 3 accompaniment.
Good work
I feel much more comfortable with this scale after the course
Another Good Course
Good overview of the scales and chords as always. It was interesting that I was learning the blues scales earlier, and I noticed that the right hand in the song is completely derived from that scale. I like how Yannick introduced some interesting rhythms in the accompaniment section.
well explained
Good pace of lesson
Really enjoyed the exercise song for this course
Funkaliscious was very fun to play and I found it quite challenging. I've added upslides to my skill set and a new left hand rhythm too. Glad to be going through the beginner levels and getting a thorough workout on keys I sometimes avoid.
Great course
This course helped me a lot with the key of Gm, I learned the G blues scale and the most common progressions and also to use my left hand. Now I want to keep practicing to improvise over the key.
Funkaliscious :)
Siento como si cada lección es un nuevo ladrillo. Espero seguir sumando y haciendo el edificio más grande. Buenas sensaciones.
Feeling more like a Blues player!!!
Great tuition that gradually builds up the skills you need to play a rythmic blues number - great confidence builder to- thank you!!!
Fun step by step progression
Slow increase in difficulty
Love the G minor scale !!
I do like the step by step approach. It does make success more likely.
Sooper dooper course!
Both enjoyable and educational. Thanks!
Challenging
I like the fact that all of "Key of" course have a consistent approach. The performance piece of this one was promising as I love funk but unfortunately I did not get the clue to fell it.
Great course
I am really enjoying the course, it’s very comprehensive and pretty easy to follow. I wish I had more time to spend on it! A great course though. Thank you!
Very challenging.
Lessons move along nicely but takes more time and effort than I expected.
Key of G Minor done!!! Fundamentals is always a must, inversions is more efficient!

Wow, I like how I’m sounding and I want more!!!
Challenging, but funky
Very systematic, builds up into something fairly difficult for the level, but rewarding.
