Really useful.
I understand 9th chords now and how to use them but they’re not falling naturally under my fingers by heart - so need to put them in my warm ups.
Simple and effective!
John is a great teacher. I love the simplicity and structure of the course. He hasn’t forgotten what it is to be a beginner! The way he layers the structure, building the information is amazing. I’m not a complete beginner but just wanted to review my voicings and use of different styles. I got everything I wanted and a bit more. I loved learning how to embellish the melody and how to use chord inversions when improvising. Thank you so much!
Challenging and instructive
The deep dive into minor chord voicing was excellent
Struggles
Minor chords put me to sleep! The rhythm in the last lesson was good.
Minor chord rootless
Another great course with practical info for immediate application. Love the rootless/ninth chord jazz sounds. Experimenting with songs to make these sounds part of my playing.
