Good stuff!
Just a tad too fast on the turnaround explanation. I've been learning to play piano for the last few months and I already have a pretty strong (albeit unused for quite a few years) background in music so I understand the principles used - scales, inversions, 7th chords, etc. - but catching both hands required a few rewinds.
Should probably mention I'm not always the sharpest knife in the drawer... Not an actual complaint, so don't get me wrong. I'm lovin' it! Blues is my absolute favorite genre from way back!
Thanks for offering this course!
My only real complaint is that I'm having a bad buffering issue when I use my tablet. It happens on WiFi and my mobile network. My guess is that your videos are done with Flash and Chrome doesn't support that format. I'll install Firefox to see if it makes a difference.
Other than that, great and very helpful video! Thanks again!
Response from Customer Service:
I've not gotten any other reports of buffering issues. Our videos are not Flash, but HTML5 and should work fine with Chrome (that's what I use).
It is a good idea to try a different browser but you may find that you need to clear your cache/data and relaunch the site. That may actually fix your buffering issues and everything may run more smoothly.
I hope that helps!

Fantastic!
Fantastic! I teach music for a living, and presenting lessons in a well thought out manor is key to good results. It's always good for me to check out how other people teach. David is excellent.

Yes, helpful!
I'm not a very good piano player. Guitar is my instrument. One thing I've really been struggling with is hand independence (I.e, the left hand and right hand play two completely different things). This video starts off with some pretty basic blues stuff that has turned out to be really good exercises for hand independence. Plus I am learning some basic blues piano riffs that are fun to play. So yes, this has been very helpful to me!!
