    About the Course

    You’ve got the guitar basics down: You can strum your guitar and play a few of your favorite songs, but you’re ready to take the tunes to the
    next level. In Guitar Scales and Chord Progressions you’ll expand your knowledge of scales, chord fingerings, and common chord progressions.

    T​he Guitar Scale and Chord Progressions class was fantastic! So far, I have enjoyed two extremely rewarding and satisfying classes on the guitar, and look forward to the next class.

    I wish there were more "scale" variation. Not just Arpeggios.

    The course could've been more informative and covered more scales and chords.

    After I asked a Blues guitar teacher he was suprised, that the chords in this course where no 7 chords according to him this is far more common in blues - also, when I played it his way it sounded much more like blues. So maybe I have missunderstood something in your course but overall I found the explanations to quick and hard to understand and not practical to play along with other musicians.

    Also I am dissapointed because I have got a good feedback (accomplished and only one developing) but still missed to pass the course.

    I am not a beginner, I play fingerstyle and classical pieces since childhood, so I have experience in how lessons are build up.

    I´ve learned something in that course, yes indeed but it was behind my expectations.

    This course is probably good for someone who has just started. Though it may not work for someone who doesn't know much about guitar and its basic layout. Like if you don't know even the open strings and first three frets, then this is not for you. But if you have even been playing for a year - this is again not for you. So its kinda tricky to understand who exactly benefits from this. Well at least I did not have to pay for this, but if I had paid I would be really sorry for it.

    There was a lack of explanation, I took the guitar for beginners course before this with no prior guitar knowledge and I loved the guitar for beginners course. I felt like this class however I was just given a bunch of exercises with very little explanation of why they matter or the theory behind them.
