Was this too easy? Too hard? Right on the money?

[@carynchristianson7106]

It was not what I would call beginner, but it was extremely helpful to me. Congratulations! I'm so proud of you.

[@alejandrobernard_]

@@carynchristianson7106 Thank you so much! Could you tell me why you wouldn't call it beginner? This kind of feedback is actually super helpful for me in developing the course

[@ericlauritsen400]

Great lesson - thanks for this! Agree that it is more at the early intermediate level as it does require some prior knowledge of major scales, major/minor/dominate 7th chords, chord extensions, etc. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@alejandrobernard_]

@@ericlauritsen400 Thank you for the feedback!

[@michaelhackethal8187]

Quite a challenge for me as a beginner, but it gives me lots to chew on. Very nice and definitely motivating!

[@michaelhackethal8187]

Dear Alejandro, for me this was definitely not easy (beginner!), but very nice to start from. Took me three weeks to handle it somehow. Lots of good info in this tutorial. Looking forward to more lessons from you.

[@alejandrobernard_]

Hi Michael - Thanks so much for letting me know how you felt about this lesson series. I actually just received an email this week from another viewer who told me they thought this was more of an intermediate level, and not beginner. I appreciate you sticking it out, I'm taking notes, and when I start producing content again (hopefully soon!) I'm looking forward to making some adjustments. All my best to you!

Estoy muy seguro que hablas español por tu nombre, muchísimas gracias y no pares de hacer esta sección!!

[@alejandrobernard_]

Es mi gran placer hacer videos que disfruten! Te aprecio mucho :D

[@kee04O]

Still feel struggled for in a both hand smooth performance like walking bass plus jazz movement after a week practice. What's the key?😢

[@strumminman]

Looking forward to this too. But... F#o7 = F# A C Eb. No?

[@alejandrobernard_]

Yes, that's correct. I think you're referring to measure 2 of the warmup? There is an A on the bottom of the chord because I am playing an inversion of F#dim7. Also D# is enharmonic to Eb, and I've opted to use this note to demonstrate the upward movement of the inner voices.

[@strumminman]

Yeagh, I get the reason. A quastion of balance beetween theory and practic. ;=) Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing. Worth to see, indeed.

[@alejandrobernard_]

@@strumminman Well I appreciate you sending the correct spelling of the chord!

[@GO-zf1cr]

Hi Alejandro, thank you for the great video. Would you be willing to share what software you use for recording? Really appreciate it.

[@alejandrobernard_]

Of course! I use OBS studio, which allows me to organize my video inputs so I don't have to do a ton of editing after I shoot video. The program MIDICULOUS is what I use to light up the virtual keyboard.

[@GO-zf1cr]

@@alejandrobernard_ Ah I see. Thank you. It's great work! I am enjoying your videos so much.
