Practicing real Bollywood songs instead of boring exercises kept me hooked from day one. The open chords and basic strumming patterns clicked fast, and I was strumming along to a song I love by the end of the first week. So much fun to learn this way.

Non avevo mai tenuto una chitarra in mano e in poche settimane riesco già a suonare qualcosa. Gli accordi aperti spiegati uno alla volta e il modo di passare da uno all'altro mi hanno sbloccato completamente. Suonare ritmando su brani Bollywood che conosco rende la pratica davvero divertente e non mi annoio mai. Avrei gradito qualche pattern di strumming in più verso la fine, ma nel complesso sono molto soddisfatto e lo consiglio ai principianti.
