Is this course better than free YouTube lessons?
Yes. For two reasons. Firstly, the information is provided in the proper sequence. This expedites the learning process. As opposed to finding bits and pieces of random information across endless YouTube viewing sessions. It's also very in-depth and comprehensive. Secondly, feedback and interaction with the instructor. Getting feedback on your playing is really invaluable. You often don't know you're doing something wrong until someone points it out.
