Superb!
The videos are concise and offer so much in such a short time. Their length is ideal and they are the perfect 'bite size'. I often stop the videos and practice the stuff immediately in Logic, then continue. The videos are dense, packed with very useful info, entertaining and very well balanced. The amount of information is just right: not too much, not too little. A really wish I had come across Groove3 many years ago....
