Here's what people are saying about Rock Doc Courses!
Dan C
This Course is informative, interesting, and fun! The way it is structured made me want to continue on to the next lesson to learn even more, and hear the music of Artists that I was not familiar with before the Course. After reading text about the Bands/ Artists and the times in which they formed, I was able to hear songs that I have literally heard thousands of times in a new way! Very well done!
Gary B
Being an amateur musician and Rock enthusiast, I felt this course presented extensive information on several of the innovators of Rock. The author picked a representative sample to review, some of whom I had never heard of. I realized that just because I had never heard of them, they were important in regards to their influence to other musicians. I particularly liked the samples of audio and video clips. I enjoyed the Grateful Dead review and was impressed with their musicianship.
I definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge into Rock history.
Jeff R.
The course walks you through the details of a very special time in American history as well as music history. Packed with information and specific details that are not widely known. The audio files on the slides are a nice touch and helps add an audible context to the material while reviewing it. As well, the video files are great to introduce the reader to the visual aspect of the music. All in all, a fun experience and framed out in such a way that makes you want to get to the next module!
