Challenging but important
I really worked on two handed rhythms and finger independence in both hands. Took some time to get it down, but surprised at what I'm playing now
Interesting to learn!
I really enjoy the systematic way of learning these chords. Never imagine a few simple chords with variations can create such beautiful and rich melodies. Thank you so much Johnny!
Great Introduction to Playing Different Rhythms in Both Hands!
I wish I'd had this lesson as a youngster! Jonny explains two-hand coordination from many different angles and gives practical methods for bringing the hands together.
Stick with it and you will get to the end
The course was challenging but I am sure it will pay off. The last lesson exercises took me much longer to "master" compared to any of the earlier exercises, especially the variations.
This course was quite challenging.
The course is very well constructed. The rhythms are progressives. Some are very challenging at least for a beginner. Be patient, it will come.
