    THE i
    I just "Viewed-Through" Lesson 1 in the series. I found it to be VERY basic, as INTENDed. The techniques shown were of the most basic AND no alternate was mentioned! (Perhaps - Later in the Series??). All in ALL -the instructor was accurate (He never lied!). I would consider this course for a Child. Things stayed THAT "Simple". the calm manner of presentation and the emphasis on FIRST: =>Build a STRONG Foundation **THEN!** => Go "Get Fancy" if you wish was 'gOOd!' advice - for child or adult.
