I dont understand how its possible to play these songs with chords that have 7th 9th 11th, and the PDF is sheet music you need to be able to read. (which I can but slowly)
There is no way you can go from learning regular scales and then understand and play the voicings in the songs with more complicated chords. I wanted to learn the songs so I can write my own.
I have barely started and ready to quit. I can't learn this way. :-(
Im upset. I was so excited to start this. I don't know how I can learn here except try to copy the hands in the video.

Instruction was on the mark. He broke down the intro, verse, and chorus. The choice of songs is what makes this course exactly what the title says. I don't feel like I got cheated out of my money.
