Principais avaliações do GUITAR SCALES AND CHORD PROGRESSIONS
Pretty good for novice guitar players, as well as some good practice tips and techniques for more advanced players. Really liked the instructor.
I loved this course. It taught me so much about theory that I was never able to understand before, and gave me a deep & solid foundation to keep studying it on my own.
Good beginner/early intermediate course which touches on some typical chord progressions and arpeggios and the ionian major scale (but not inversions or other modes and scales)
Amazing quality of content and order of learning things worked perfectly. Loved the final submission at the end also. Thank you for such a great course.
