Exceeded my already high expectations

It's rare for online music training to meet the expectations set by the artist. I've been let down the few other times I've invested in other artist's courses. I had high hopes based on Dave's YouTube videos and his live sets. I was honestly blown away by the thorough and systematic approach he took. I've gone back through the manual since finishing the DN2 course, and he actually covered more than the manual provides. Legend!

Perfect course, Perfect teacher.. Worth every penny!

I rarely write reviews of anything I purchase online, but this course really deserves to have this review since it has helped me so so much in my Digitone 2 knowledge that I want others to take advantage of it too.

10/10 for me.

Exceeded My Expectations

An excellent, comprehensive course. I had already completed a 14-hour video course and wasn’t sure I would learn anything new — but I was surprised by how much more I gained. Dave delivers a great deep dive.
