Exhilarating Riffs

This is such a comprehensive review of the most common chord progressions. I really appreciated the practice of doing the chord, then the shells & guide tones, then the missing harmony fill-ins. This was simple enough for me to get it, and yet challenging when going to different keys!!

Great Learning Experience

I truly enjoyed learning about the twelve-bar blues. It was challenging but fun. I got more interest, fun and learning out of that than anything else you taught me thus far. Thanks a bunch Jonny.

Its not so easy how it looks but very effektive to "assimilate" chords in hands.

Play in different styles. See in which songs the progression s are used. So I can build my view for other songs using same progression
