As an ex-goalie, I had to start this class!:). That said, it has far surpassed my expectations. Like most guitar lessons, my first teacher only taught a few chords and then focused on songs and rhythm... a hard way to truly learn. I love this program because I can feel my fingers getting faster, my bar chords sound better, and my chord switching improving dramatically. Enjoying the guitar daily for the first time in years. I'm probably a little slower than most when it comes to learning, so I repeat lessons when necessary, but that's the beauty: it's like a choose-your-own-adventure once you are through the first 30 days!
