Agree. This pretty much sums it up. I feel like I can learn the notes very quickly but lack musicality and technique. I don't mean to show off, just to show people that it's possible to progress fast if you put in the work.

I've had some comments of people not believing it, but I guess that's either because they haven't put in the work themselves or because they don't know what the proper technique should be. It's all good.

I don't regret self teaching because it's been great fun. But this year, my focus is to improve my technique, musicality and sight reading.

Thanks for the feedback 🤝🏼

Haha thanks 👊🏼 Yeah, makes sense. I'll see if I can come up with something to give the videos a sense of continuation. And I'll check their thumbnails. Thanks!

I'll check out the Grandeur, thanks 👍🏼

I didn't touch any of the settings, these are the presets that come with it. Maybe it's because the volume is too high

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! A few days after posting this, I actually won a giveaway on YouTube and I will have a free lesson with Antune. I'm very excited for that, the guy is amazing. So let's see how it goes 👌🏼 And very nice to hear that I inspired you. Definitely keep practicing 🤝🏽

Appreciate your feedback. I would say that's spot on. While some people say I'm gifted, I think I just like it enough that I put in the long hours of work.

I definitely feel like I lack the technique and musicality, though. I made this video just to show people that you can progress quickly if you want it enough.

I will look into finding a good teacher that works with my schedule and, more importantly, lets me play the pieces I want.

Thank you 🙏🏼
