Very useful
I´ve been playing some them intuitively, now I will be able to see what I´m playing. Great.
Finally It Makes Sense!
I've had such a hard time figuring out how these more advanced chords are named and structured. I've watched tons of videos to try and learn, but somehow I usually just end up more confused. Finally, the pixie dust has cleared and I can say with confidence that I understand now!
logical
great
I learned so much!
Jonny explained everything very clearly. Each lesson kept building nicely upon the previous one. I actually took notes on each lesson less I forget some important fact. It’s my own fault but I need to apply myself more to these excellent courses.
