Nice playlist! You could do a one-video cut like iternabe did on his 1st year. Well - this isn't practice time, but you will learn a lot about DaVinci Resolve. You can add at the end all bloopers, kitten disturbings, and of coarse your $ยง%&/ comments.
AAAAAnd - you will deep dive into every lesson you learned, remembering it better than just having a playlist ๐Ÿ™‚

ads?
I never watch ads. Use good adblockers ๐Ÿ™‚

Nobody can match iternabe in creating such a video. I recognize my superior there ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Wait, my $ยง%&/ comments? But but but but! I'm a lady, I never use those words ๐Ÿ˜‡ Oh, wait. I did........ but it was a good thing I was recording from my keyboard with a direct line into the phone ๐Ÿ˜‹

You used them twice, maybe trice! Put them into the bloopers section!

Lesson 3 got as many thumbs up as all the other clips together...
I rewatched it three times and I have no idea, why? Your playing was much better in the later vids.

I know, right? Quite humbling when your pets get more likes than your performance. I can absolutely recommend cats to keep both feet firmly on the ground. I may have large hands, but my feet still fit inside my boots very easily ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Sophia Please accept my sincere apologies for the oversight. ๐Ÿ™ƒ I acknowledge that we are not in the same league (and never will be). <Bows head in deferential manner to Sophia>

I love the updated avatar pic, although each time I look at it I have the urge to rotate it so that the eyes are horizontal (because I'm the type who notices crooked pictures when I enter a room and feel compelled to straighten them).

I'm confused, when will my status change from bloody beginner to total beginner? Would finishing Alfred's book 2 satisfy the criteria? ๐Ÿค”

    Nightowl I love the updated avatar pic,

    I 2nd this

    Nightowl , although each time I look at it I have the urge to rotate it so that the eyes are horizontal

    this not, I love the tilted look

    Nightowl I'm confused, when will my status change from bloody beginner to total beginner? Would finishing Alfred's book 2 satisfy the criteria?

    I may help out, here. You start as a Bloody BeginnerTM (Har har). Every time you finish a major achievement, a milestone, you graduate to the next level. Finishing a book like Alfred 1 is such an achievment. This means, you are officially a:
    Bloody
    Total BeginnerTM
    (Absolute Beginner is next, after you finished Alfred 2)
    tl;dr: you are at same level as Sophie!!

    Just kiddin, Sophie's current level is:

    Bloody Beginner + Thompsons easiest piano course =
    Total Beginner + Alfred 1 =
    Absolute Beginner + Alfred 2 =
    Early Beginner + Beginner Blues Piano course =
    True BeginnerTM

    Ah, I'm very glad you realized the error of your ways - don't let it happen again ๐Ÿ˜ƒ The level scale is one WieWaldi created and you need not worry - it only applies to the blues course. You are a bloody beginner because you haven't finished the 16 lesson course yet..... so is iternabe. I just finished it and upgraded myself to total beginner. I'm sure WieWaldi can provide the whole list of levels... and once we reach all the way to "eternal beginner", we can continue being a bloody starter. Or bloody novice. Or bloody something (never bloody intermediate though, that is for Serious Students) ๐Ÿคช

    Simba's picture, here is the complete picture and some context... it was just before supper time and he was playing super cute to make sure he was being noticed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


    Oops cross posted with you WieWie ๐Ÿ˜ƒ There you go! He generously upgraded you to total beginner too!

      Sophia The level scale is one WieWaldi created and you need not worry - it only applies to the blues course.

      No no no no.
      No.

      Roger, TC and Bart - to name a few - never took this Blues course and they never finished it. Are they bloody beginners because of that?!? Come on.
      You graduate whenever you finished a milestone. A book. A course. A chopin etude. Whatever you call a milestone. But a method-book and a YouTube-playlist-course definitely count.

      Sophia Oops cross posted with you WieWie ๐Ÿ˜ƒ There you go! He generously upgraded you to total beginner too!

      Yes! And you, Sophie, you are a True Beginner. I know, it doesn't sound too flattering, but you are what you are. ๐Ÿ˜

      Haha ok ok! I surrender... again. But all those people that you mentioned... I believe we might even refer to them as Intermediate... maybe even... gasp! Advanced?! ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿฟ

        Sophia Exactly. Advanced... for sure advanced. Or a professional intermediate, if you want. And none of them attended our beloved Blues Piano for Beginners course. You can't claim Blues piano is the only way to step up that career ladder. There are many career ladders out there, or staircases. Some prefer to take the lift. Or a turbo lift if they are annoyingly talented and learn at supersonic speed.

          Oooh, the Easy Blues course starts with one of my favourite tunes. Hit the Road Jack - move over, Ray Charles! Here I come!

          I've seen Ray live, Nov 17th 2001. It was in a small townhall, probably 200 guests and I was about 20 meter away from him. But I doubt he had seen me ๐Ÿ™

          Most impressive on that show wasn't Ray himself, the show was on his last days an as old man. It was his foregroup and accompaniment: three black rnb singer ladies in their best age with amazing voices. Similar to the accampaniment ladies of this video. Except, they weren't in black and white and voices were much more present. Although the dresses had a very similar cut, but silver instread of grey.

          Ray himself wasn't that long on stage, the ladies made the evening. And it was a wonderful evening! ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ

          Wow!!!!!!!!! Lucky you!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜ My husband told me (many times) how he visited Louis Armstrong live when he was young. Same, on his last days as an old man and in a small setting. He was lucky to have the best seat in the house and experienced the full charm first hand. Now I'm jealous of both of you ๐Ÿ˜…

          WieWaldi There are many career ladders out there, or staircases. Some prefer to take the lift. Or a turbo lift if they are annoyingly talented and learn at supersonic speed.

          Well said WieWie! ๐Ÿ˜ Sometimes I feel like a tortoise as I struggle to climb a single rung of the ladder, but then I remember the fable about the tortoise and the hare and feel slightly better. (Although I don't think the hare was moving at supersonic speed. Sigh.)

          Hehehehe......... ahhh that tortoise ๐Ÿ˜„
          Smarter, better looking, happier, and got there faster. What's not to like ๐Ÿ™‚

          Of course I much prefer us making the journey together... finishing at the same time!

            WieWaldi Turtles are only fast when cheating

            No, turtles are fast when they get some support with the heavy weight that they are carrying!

            Sophia ...And we're completely poisoning poor Kaydia's thread.... she must think she landed in the madhouse.

            You are right - we have this thread for the quack quack...

            After the turtles have finished teasing the cats (and rabbits), I want to say I am stuck in the Blues lessons. Only 5 more days and then there are the recitals. Meaning, I have to get the Country Blues flying and learn the Frisco Blues, too. Both are very easy, don't expect something special. Only thing, I still don't know what Blues is for which forum.

            But at least, I get the first two in the 40-ish pieces a year challenge. *proud*

              WieWaldi I get the first two in the 40-ish pieces a year challenge. proud

              Nice! I'm looking forward to hearing them.

              I learned the left hand of Hit the Road Jack and I'm slowly adding the right hand blues scale. I think we'll both be a total beginner for a long, long time ๐Ÿ˜
