Hello Aimee - I have to say, I absolutely have to thank God for you. You have made my life easier and less stressful. The way you explain things are so easy to understand and what I called the "mystery of jazz" isn't so mystery anymore. My instrument is piano and I only started about 7 months ago. I have no musical background whatsoever and at this point in my life, I'm being exposed to a lot of music, mainly jazz, but also classical and other genres. But jazz captivates me the most. I attend a community college and they've assigned me a private piano teacher but she teaches classical piano and it's cool and all. I needed more though. I wanted more expulsion so I can pick up on a lot of things quickly and I stumbled on your channel 3 weeks ago. I couldn't be more happier in my life. Your energy is what caught me by surprise and it made me stay and the way you went about teaching things and just wow! The first video I watched was where you are explaining the tritone substitution. I learned immediately about the tritone sub and I just kept watching your videos and I spent a whole day dedicated to watching your videos. It has helped me so much and I'm just sending you this message to thank you. I'm truly thankful. I pray that you continue to prosper in your love for music and also that you continue to flourish as a human being.
God bless you
J. Johnson
