Pop fun.
This is another course that’s gonna take many hours to master. Those 4 finger chords are a stretch but great exercise for arthritis. These are the essential fundamentals for this style. All the younger players should appreciate this, you’re gonna be great musicians with this. I wish I had this awesome tuition all those years ago.
Very Interesting
The course is well done, as usual, and it's a stimulation to learn new and different approaches to play pop songs. Thank you Jonny!
Amazing course
Beautiful explanation, excellent content. Thank you Jonny May for the explanation. I enjoyed the course. Thank you.
Very inspiring course!
I personally loved the ability to mix between the patterns and tried to play them in different keys and also tried different entering points (such as on 2 or even "and") specifically loved working on LH with transitional notes. Good course!
