I thoroughly enjoyed Eddie's course. I appreciated him breaking down the material into sections (chords, rhythms, time signatures...) that made it easy to learn and practice it in manageable chunks. I found the use of the box for working out chord progressions in a structured way, really helpful. Eddie, I hope you will create another course on how to create interesting melody lines above chord progressions, and how to create chord progressions from melody lines... Thank you for this course, Eddie!

This tutorial is actually based in simplistic methodology and terms. But it has awakened my senses to discern a different type of musical prospect by applying the terms together. Especially the box chord selecting method and accenting rhythmical points with x is simply phenomenal. Indeed anyone is able to grasp those techniques and compose their own song. I would encourage the tutor to put out a solo composing tutorial for piano soon. Bloody marvellous work. Cheers

Very well explained and fun to learn course. Not being new to music I wasn't sure this course would benefit me much. I was pleasantly surprised and am learning a lot about chord progressions and song writing. Instructor makes it all clear and enjoyable. He also answers questions in a timely manner.
