    Diverse Music Course Choices
    You simply won't find a more diverse combination of professional courses, campus facilities, student body, opportunities & music teachers at the top of their game, & all under one roof, than you will at AIM - with a wide range of undergraduate & graduate music courses, each with its own Head of Department & professional teaching staff. We also offer Acting & Theatre through the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art, in addition to AIM High School, Music Lessons & Young AIM music tuition are also available.
    Professional Music Teaching Staff
    In addition to our exceptional list of music & performing arts teachers, we also have a fulltime student services support team, marketing admissions team, web team & purposed music library, with over 1000 students and dedicated small staff to student ratio. So there's always something happening.
    Customised Music & Entertainment Education
    AIM students can individually tailor their studies to integrate performance skills, business management, marketing, individual instrument or voice lessons, audio & sound engineering, music production and other specialised units. Students also undertake industry placements as part of their course.
    Great Educational & Performance Facilities
    With select facilities, performance spaces, industry standard Q Studios - and with industry staff on hand, students can develop the confidence and skills needed to pursue a successful career in the music industry, performing arts & wider entertainment fields.

      no one is saying they can do it better, just making the true point that playing guitar as you sing is not that difficult once you have the actual playing down. Did you bother to read the whole thing before deciding to get offended by a random comment?
      I never once said I could do it like this, but singing and playing guitar at the same time is pretty easy once you have the basics of the guitar down, as playing becomes muscle memory... and at that point it is easy.

      chances are, if you can't figure out how to play this by ear then you won't be able to play it.

    I'm truly amazed with your talent! Love all your covers, especially this one! Another Slayer cover to honor the late Jeff Hanneman would be nice.

    The really impressive thing is how clear and precise he is when just using his left hand. Really angular riffs played to precision.
