Hey Christy!! Keep up the good work!! If it is helpful for you, you can always slow down the video playback speed and follow along that way! Thanks so much for watching! ☀️💚
I’m so glad that you slowed things down for the beginner. Your videos are awesome and you are very talented. I am a older person just learning to play and these videos are very helpful for people that’s learning later in life , thanks again and yes do a tritone video. Do you do virtual training by chance ?
Hey KC, man you never stop amazing with your approaches on the piano. As I was watching this video, I was wondering if you could explain the basic on the foundation of building passing chords and tritones especially for me as a beginner. Thank you so much and you're a blessing to me and others. Keep up the good work 👍
