Edina Balczo's courses are always educative and recommended. Regarding this particular course, what I learnt exclusively is the KEY change through Mode scales. There are tons of lesson about MODES on internet, but are restricted in theory. After I learnt but I still dont know how to use MODES. This course opens a door toward the mode application. Although it is a small part of the course, it is the MOST important part of the course, to meet my expectation. I look forward to more courses from Edina Balczo
I am just reviewing a few videos before I start practicing, and I think this is the course I've been looking for. I have been playing guitar for 30 years, and still feel very limited. I think this course will unlock that struggle for me.
Very straight forward, easy to understand so far.
Best course improvision I ever had
Great course!! fantastico!
I wish I had this course when I first started playing Spanish guitar!! I highly recommend.
