Re: Size of ipad screen

Re: Teach chord along music song in playground sessions

The course curriculum is spelled out on the PGS homepage. As you go through rookie level courses and songs you’re basically learning sight reading and hand independence. The songs are stripped down to the bare minimum of the left hand baseline and right hand melody. In intermediate level lessons you...

Re: When to progress to next exercise?

If you have difficulty reaching 100% you need to slow the tempo down. When it's manageable to reach 100% multiple times at a slower tempo, increase the tempo between 5-25%. Pay attention to the phrases you make errors on and practice them in isolation, (i.e. play the measures as a loop until you get...

Re: When to progress to next exercise?

You're going to enjoy PGS a lot more if you lower your standards. I was in OP's situation and it frustrated me a lot but if you can live with a 90% or thereabouts, call it done and move on to the next thing you're going to see more improvements to your playing and confidence as you master more piece...

Re: Android app status?

Apple guy here. Unfortunately you're likely to be waiting a very long time. I have tried to use PGS on the iPad, (the pro from 2018) and even on such an OP device, the app has perpetual connectivity issues. Forced to use the desktop version on the MacBook. We've all been waiting for years and years ...

PGS is moving in a positive direction!

Phill has been working HARD on Youtube and Facebook uploading video lessons. I've been complaining to the devs that those lessons are absent from the app. This month PGS has finally got around to making Phill's video lessons available in app through the song store. I've been waiting a long time to s...

Re: Apple Airpods Pro

Forget about bluetooth audio... It doesn't matter about the marketing, Beats Studio Wireless, AirPods Pro Max, whatever... The sound will always be lossy and there will always be latency. You need to get yourself a pair of reference headphones. I would recommend SHP 9500. Very comfortable, inexpensi...

Re: Bootcamp music theory way too complicated

If you're a rookie player, the only theory points you should be concerned about are
