The chord progression was worth the wait!
I enjoyed working on inversions both blocked and broken. They are beautiful and fertile for creativity!
Fun learning
Great new ways of practicing my Maj 7 chords
Finally understand Maj7
After 35 years of playing, I finally have a nice grasp on Maj7 chords. Fun to practice and make up my own arpeggio exercises. Wish I would’ve discovered this years ago, but I’m not gonna waste time now!
Simply excellent :)
This is a complex course I needed, fun and worth of coming back during regular practice. Thanks a lot!
Learned a lot
