“Hi, my name's Roy. I've been playing guitar for about 27 years now. Mostly self taught. So the usual sins apply, I suppose, like kind of gone pretty light on the theory over the years, which is something I'm trying to address now. I've mostly played rock, metal, blues, punk, funk, you know, kind of like all that kind of stuff, you know, Definitely an inmate of the pentatonic jail, which I would like to very much break out of. And although I've been a, I suppose a long time jazz fan, it's only recently I've decided to, to really pursue that style of music on the guitar. So like probably every other guitar player on the planet, I've spent a ton of money over the years on, on courses and programs and, and whatnot. And they've, you know, they're all great. It's kind of, it's unusual really to find one where the content, for me, where the content wasn't worth the asking price. But this is the first ever testimonial I've ever done because the first exercise, the first thing that I engaged with cga, which was like the first jazz standard I came in to the program for a little Sunflower. That Freddie Hubbard tune has been so exciting and fulfilling to work through. I've been really excited by the process. I would say the really key difference for me in terms of the offering of CGA is the community. Having a community of like minded individuals who are all trying to do the same thing that you're trying to do is really motivating. It gives you a lot of accountability, which I think is really key when learning. And I really like the content that Chase creates and I think the curriculum is really smart. Kind of like having a pathway of jazz standards that building complexities is a clever way of doing it. There's a lot of like care and attention has gone into each standard as you move through them. Chase himself is a great, great player, but he also really understands what he's doing and can explain it. So that's also really valuable because I guess a lot of like the social media guitar players these days are great players, but maybe not so much great educators. So that's really cool. And Chase really understands the value that community brings to an education environment. So if you are somebody that has struggled in the past with I suppose, getting through, you want to learn how to play jazz, but you've been struggling to get through whatever course you've bought. I'd really recommend that you, you think about community based approach. And I personally would recommend cga based on my experiences. I would also say if you do sign up, it's worth kind of bearing in mind that, like, with any community, you, you get out what you put in. So being contributing and, and kind of being open to learning and, and feedback is really, really powerful. I think that's it really.”
