Greg,

Please do send your suggestions.

I know how it is trying to learn from video. I have degrees in Voice and
Jazz Piano and when I look at most video instruction I realize they are
either too fast or too advanced for most beginning/average players.

I'm going to try to make each one very pointed and give many specific
things to practice in each one.

Thanks,
John
