Hard but I learned alot
This took me a loooong time, but I now have a better sense of independence of the two hands. The written notes really helped. I returned to Jonny's playing so I could listen again and again. My ear helps me alot more than the clapping, but I understand how that could be a great help for some.
Don't take for granted
One super easy pattern for left hand, one super easy pattern for right hand. Combine them and you have one very difficult pattern. BUT, approached slowly and methodically, they come together to create very nice syncopated beautiful patterns. It was fun getting those together.
Two hand coordination
Good course. I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Muddled Hands
Very good exercises in coordination. Builds gradually into more complicated work. Look forward to a lot more practice in this area to gain more confidence.
Easy and Difficult but will be great as daily exercises
This was a great course! It really shows you how to put two hands together as a beginner plus some awesome rhythms. A few of the rhythms were more difficult then the others especially when playing them with 1/8 notes. I will be revisiting this course to better play some of the more difficult ones.
