I really like this course. It is very affordable and clear. The best part is reading sheet music and practice with a metronome. It really helps in controlling the sound. It's my 3rd month and I see a lot of improvement in my playing, playing the F Maj scale is hard for me now, but as the instructor said Practice is the key. Anyways 5 stars to the content.
