Reviews for Learn to Improvise on Guitar with Exercises

The best improvisation course I've ever taken. - Huy Nguyen Edina Balczo's courses are always educational and highly recommended. In this particular course, what I learned exclusively was the key change through modal scales. There are tons of lessons about modes on the internet, but they are mostly limited to theory. Even after studying them, I still didn't know how to apply modes in practice. This course opened the door to modal application. Although it's just a small part of the course, it was the most important part for me and fully met my expectations. I look forward to more courses from Edina Balczo. - Felix Chen I wish I had this course when I first started playing Spanish guitar!! I highly recommend. - Philip W Empey Great course!! Fantastico! - Ferzy Torrez
