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!
