Easy way to sound way more advanced
This was a good fundation on how to make cool sounding arpeggios. I loved it.
Valuable Course!
I really loved the Popstinatos using the Sus 2 fingering. The course opened up new ideas for accompaniment.
Both thumbs up
Love this course!!!
Awesome treasure chest of beautiful music.
So much magical stuff to be had here. Obviously the content of the music applied to the song patterns but also in so many other ways. For me it’s the beautiful torture of flexing arthritic hands along with an arthritic brain. It really does push you trying to make order of it all. Enjoying the mental and physical demands and just simply loving the sound sensation. Thanks as always Jonny 🥰
