first post the past

I suppose it’s time to post something; A grand total of 7 videos are live after all.

I wish I could say these were simply sitting on my computer yearning to frolic in the sunny uplands of the internet but the fact is it’s taken far longer than I expected to work these into a state fit to join the illustrious company of animated gifs, YouTube comments and these things called webinars. Yes, they’ve been languishing on my computer for up to 5 years, in no state to greet their public. Well they’re ready now. Or at least they’re ready enough. In fact they’re a little sparse if I’m honest but that’s what happens when you sketch notes down in brief moments before, during or after lessons.

Bluntly then fine! I’m admitting to real work, real work went into these: They amount to a bunch of presentable videos with precious few words, practice problems or anything handy like that. They’re animations for the most part. I’ve had so many students get stuck on these topics because they don’t have a good grip of what’s going on in a visual sense, at least I think they don’t, I’m a visual thinker so I probably tend to over-diagnose that problem.

If you spot mistakes tell me. james at this site…

I guess I also do requests… Like those pianists at fancy hotel bars. If you request a topic and it doesn’t get done then take it like the pianist’s casual nod as he tinkles away, looking at his hands, “cool man… cool…”
