    Great Ida for rockschool to fo this. The nice thing about it is the application to popular music. There is a clear need for this. However.. The content is very terse and limited in depth. I have constantly had to refer to other web site content and books to get good and clear understanding of much of the basic theory. In other areas it would have been nice to have a clear example of the approach to take in perfoming a particular task, Eg, transcription. I have given this four stars for the intent but the content I think is lacking. It would be good if this could be improved.
