Surprisingly easy and very useful
Such a handy progression and suits so many contemporary songs. Loved using it in Fields of Gold by Sting and The Streets of London. Relatively easy but also includes some challenging runs and effects at the end.
Beautiful progression.
This gives the tools improvise over an easy contemporary style, using a progression that is recognizable in so many tunes. Love the sliding down movement in the bass line.
Clear, simply layered and played improvisations
I took this course well over a year ago, and recently returned to review its concepts. How much easier after having gotten various patterns into my hands! I especially love the effects that can be created from my own imagination, and applying these concepts to other songs and progressions.
Great Fun
This is an excellent course with great improvisation ideas and well put together.
Some good tools for my piano toolbox
I am relatively skilled in this style of playing, so I watched the intermediate/advanced portions only. I appreciated the various tips on improvisation, both in changing up the left hand and using various intervals and patterns/effects in the right. Thanks for these useful tools and tips!
