major 7 chord exercises
The exercises are very helpful in learning and relearning the major 7 chords. It is going to take a lot of practice on my part, however. Good course. Thank you.
a fundamental component to dexterity
These excises are fundamental not only to memorize the major 7th chords, but to master them. Thank you, Jonny! I feel really empowered, now ;-)
Great exercises
Teaching so good, made it simple to understand
Great fundamental work
This course is essential stuff and the exercise of working inversions blocked and broken around the circle of fifths is now part of my daily warmup routine.
