Enter Youtube

I'm a huge fan of Youtube. I love it's platform. The ability to be able to check out any topic on this medium is so useful. (Yes, there's more on there then just kitten videos and porn.)

So, as I'm learning as deciphering the code of Music Theory, it's extremely helpful to look up topically what is available on Youtube. Yes, I realize there's a lot of misinformation out there, but there's also some professionals who know what they're talking about. So, I was thrilled to listen and make the acquaintance of a Mr. Tom Hess.


This guy gets it. He really understands why writers do what they love to do. He is inspiring and a professional in his art. I love finding stuff on youtube like this guy. Forget the pretty graphics, the topical nonsense, give me a solid, well-learned expert who gets why we do what we do any day of the week.

Another guy I'm just eating up is Mr. Bill Hilton:


He's great at explaining theory and if you're a keyboardist, this guy is very helpful. But he's not the only one. I watch and listen to several of these guys, because I want to make sure I've got it all down. 

Part of the reason I'm watching these guys is also because, sometimes in the book, I admit it, they're speaking Greek to me. So having this resource to see and hear other examples is SOOOOOO nice. 

So, there's my secret weapon - Youtube. 

Ok, back to the grind. Have fun practicing you guys!
