| 0:00.0 | We've got a couple of questions here. This is interesting, both referencing the jazz chords for beginners course that we put out earlier this spring. |
| 0:22.6 | It's a very popular course, and so I'll just take a swing at these. |
| 0:25.9 | Kevin says, should I work on the jazz chords for beginners course all the way through |
| 0:29.5 | before moving on? So that's really up to you, Kevin. The answer is not necessarily, but also |
| 0:35.8 | possibly. It depends on where you want to spend your time. |
| 0:39.6 | The courses that we make here are not meant to just be taken like a movie and then, you know, |
| 0:44.7 | done and done. That's not how it works to learn things, Kevin. So don't feel like you have to do |
| 0:50.4 | everything on the course before moving on to something else or don't feel like that you have |
| 0:56.4 | to vary your practice if you're not feeling it just kind of do wherever your interest goes if |
| 1:00.9 | you are getting bored with just working on chords well it's time to switch up like the important |

| 1:11.4 | And that's when things really |
| 1:31.7 | start to get interesting and really start to get good. So I would say, Kevin, if you're, if you're |
| 1:39.0 | still super interested, if you still have that beginner's mind about it, then stick with it. If you're |
| 1:43.7 | ready to move on, don't feel guilty like you're leaving things on the table. |
| 1:46.8 | Remember, these courses can be used again and again. |
| 1:49.8 | You can come back at any time. |
| 1:50.9 | And in fact, it's good sometimes to switch it up and then come back to it. |
| 1:54.6 | And then down below, Jazz Evolution says, should I learn voicing that I like, like the so what voicing? |
