I'm Spanish native speaker but I speak English but sometimes I can't understand many things when you're explaining the video tutorial. Is there some way u can put subtitles in your video apart from de auto generated subtitles? I will appreciate it. Thanks, you're my favorite channel on UA-cam. 🥰

    Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve had an idea for one stuck in my mind for the longest time that I’ve toyed around with but could never turn it into a full piece until now! Do you have any advice for arpeggios in the left hand though?
    So far I’ve been doing something akin to the bass clef’s speed and spacing from Victor’s Piano solo, or “Beethoven’s silence”, but I’m not sure if there’s any routes to take that would also work well
    Thanks again! :)
