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.
