Fantástico curso, explicado y elaborado perfectamente,con el complemento en el video de las partituras, todo en pdf sin escatimar en detalles, totalmente recomendable, lo mejor que he visto en cuanto a la explicación de las pentatónicas ,solo hecho de menos los backing tracks, enhorabuena al autor.
