I've just found your channel. Having watched this video, I've subscribed and I'll be catching up on your back catalogue.
Thanks for the great advice… I’m always looking for ways to improve!
Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks!
Great timing, I'm struggling right now with a piece that has octaves. Thank you for sharing, I'm teaching myself so this kind of advice is super valuable to me.
Love it! What piece?
It's "I wanted to leave" by SYML. I can play it fine until it repeats the same melody but with octaves.
Great video
Thank you!
You're no Yuja or Hiromi, but the lesson is good..
Definitely not trying to compete with Yuja. I'm much better when I'm myself.
Awkward is an understatement when you are in the upper key area. If you insist I will give it a try.
It's only awkward the first 49 times, then it becomes natural and you never think about it again. Let me know how it goes.
