More difficult than major a&b voicings but very rewarding
John did an excellent job of going over a&b voicings. I really liked the song "ninth hole" in lesson 7
a thorough approach to rootless major and minor 9th chords
I really enjoyed this course and feel confident about what I learned. John Proulx is an excellent teacher and made everything easy to understand. He showed how to practice each of the exercises and was patient and clear, emphasizing the chord structures and proceeding from spelling them out in arpeggios to playing them as block chords. He further enhanced the learning experience with compositions of his own, illustrating each lesson. Bravo!
Very challenging and interesting
Great professor, excellent explanation 😊
