Fun Course
John Proulx delivers the material clearly and concisely with all the details needed for a beginner to play the piece. He is such an excellent teacher.
Sinple to follow
Much easier now I've got the music. Still do not know how to get the backing track. But will still keep trying. Jonny's enthusiasm is catching!
Great.
Good tune to play. Step by step broken down well. Then all come together. Playing it slowly, need more practice on my timing. A good course. After I’ve mastered this look forward to moving on to the intermediate course. Thanks.
Challenging but fun.
Excellent course for learning left hand shells, harmonies and rhythms.
A great basis to start advanced playing.
Very patient.. finger positioning so important. Thank you again for an excellent lesson..
