“Hi, my, my name is Erwin. I'm from the Netherlands. I live in Rotterdam. And it's my pleasure to give a little bit of my personal experience with Chase's Guitar Academy. It's been two years already, time flies. And after a long history with all kinds of music teachers and getting lost, distracted on, on, on YouTube and trying to find ways to improve my guitar playing, I subscribed for Chase's Guitar Academy. Even though I don't particularly like jazz music, to be really honest, and it's even, even now, it's not really my ambition to be a better jazz music player. Although the system that Chase is providing is it's very organized, it's super structured. There's so many opportunities to attend live classes, multiple chances every week, and then there's in those classes and also around it, a lot of possibilities to interact with your peers and fellow guitar players on all different kinds of levels. Um, but even though the structure of the whole thing is probably the thing that I was looking for most where you can when it's. It's structured in a way in difficulty, but as well as it's completely laid out where you are and what's coming next, where you're heading. So yeah, the organization and always knowing exactly what to do for me with I guess a limited time to play is super helpful. I never feel like I want to play, but I don't know what to play and I don't know what to practice. That's definitely something from the past. I always feel like, okay, even if I only have five to 10 minutes to grab the guitar, then I can just look on the sort of curriculum and have something to do which is helping me move forward. So that's definitely been the most beneficial and something why I keep coming back to this academy. And then there's Chase himself. So like I mentioned before, I've seen a lot of teachers. Through playing different instruments in the past. But Chase is not only always asking for feedback, he is continuously using feedback and continuously has been adapting, improving, trying to make everything work and fit for the community. And it's been a pleasure to be part of it and also a huge pleasure to see how he's been evolving and always trying to help everybody. And my personal experience with him is even with the huge time difference, he seems to always be available. Doesn't really matter what kind of question you ask him. He's very quick to respond and very elaborate and sincerely interested in his students progress and finding ways to help us develop even further in whatever direction we want to go. So it's already been two years. I have improved more than I could have imagined, and sometimes I even have to stop and look back a little bit to actually see how much I have improved. So it's been a really fun ride. And he mentions a ninja mindset and master mindset every now and then. And it's definitely something for me personally to keep doing for the long run and just continue developing and having fun with the community. So, yeah, that's my experience. Thank you for taking the time.”
