The content is awesome. Jake made some very good stuff here. Regardless of your instrument you play, it's not only for guitar of course, you can learn a lot here and deepen your understanding for chords. I am currently at chapter 4. But so far ,and I think the rest will be too, it's good learning material. 🙂

This course helped me see whats REALLY going on while playing and writing music. Many "AH HAA!" moments that made things finally click. Its like being mute your whole life, and then finally learning to speak! I have all this music in my head, but didnt have a way to BRING IT OUT, until now . This course solves that. Very liberating. Thanks JAKE!

Very detailed. Explains thing in a very easily understood way. Only 1/3 of the way through and I've learned a lot of details that I never knew. Many different concepts on how to change run of the mill chord progressions into something much more interesting. I've already wrote out a few chord progressions in different keys, modes etc. Big improvements in little time.

For me, the best part of Jake's teachings, this book included, is the practicality of it. While quite detailed, he doesn't bog down in minutiae; rather he focuses on what is most important about a given topic in order to create music.
This course links the theory and reasons why music sounds good and relates is to music that everybody knows. I am 60% of the course and will finished it!
