Michael Palmisano

Good guitar course, complete in every aspect of music theory, perhaps just a little dated in the way it is presented. The videos were in fact recorded a few years ago, in the early days of online lessons. However, the teacher covers the topics with clarity and the supporting documentation is sparse but good. Perhaps some more sheet music with practical examples to clarify the concepts would have been useful. In fact, the course does not teach breathtaking pieces or solos but lays the theoretical foundations for making music with the guitar, particularly electric, but the concepts can then be applied to acoustic or even other instruments. You have to practise a lot, practise on your own with the bases provided, and getting to the end of the course takes a lot of time. But then you definitely have very good theoretical musical knowledge that can be useful in various contexts. For the price at which it is often offered, it is certainly worthwhile and one appreciates the gradual and in-depth course structure. All the topics can be found elsewhere, but then you have to give them a logical structure. There are certainly more modern courses, but generally at much higher prices.
