Interesting so far(level 3)
Great Learning Flow
Great flow and pace. I love Seth's approach to the basics. As a guitar novice, I have learned more than I ever thought I would in the last 3 weeks. The lessons are challenging, but...
Ok for some
I think this course is ok for some people. But already having the Guthrie Trapp course, made me realize that GT course was more thorough in material delivery.
