    Wow ! I just discovered your channel and I am blown away. This is song is above my level because I haven't played in over 10 years due to a right middle finger injury but I want to give this song a shot. It will probably take a couple of months to learn and play it but I will send you a link when I'm comfortable in playing it. Thank you so much for giving me the spark to challenge myself and get back to playing.

I find your precision and ease inspiring. A big thumb up!

For anyone in the same boat as me I would also recommend the tutorial videos from Vulfpeck and Professor Goss. @groovewindow You did mention some input on what we'd like to see and for me it would be some of your favourite voicings and a brief walkthrough of how you might compose/arrange a tune. Many thanks again.

    In terms of future content, my only request is higher frequency! The content and grooves are such high quality (new cameras and set up are looking 🔥🔥). I also would love videos about your writing process. I first fell in love with funk years ago when I first discovered your videos. I've taken a few cracks at writing my own grooves with some good success, but I'd love more insight!
    Lastly, I'd recommend putting a preview of the groove as the very first thing in the video. It would act as a great visual hook and likely boost your clicks and views.

Everybody voting down should make a video like this themselves. It's so much work and attitude. This alone should be appreciated.

    Thanks groovewindow. Funksmash. Fortunately I have learnt to site read. Hearing and seeing at the same time is incredibly useful. I was hopeless at reading but I found that learning a bar or two at a time, with the metronome set at 52 bps, and recording the left hand first made the process more rewarding. Now I see the notes and feel their positions on the keyboard. I learned from my mother ( a very good reader) that one can practice piano away from the piano. (on an imagined piano). The results are astounding. I also practice singing my solo lines and beat boxing. That causes me to hear a complete band arrangement in my mind. On waking up in the morning I hear music so clearly in my mind I wonder if that's what Mozart was able to do all the time. Unfortunately, my ability at this fades the more awake I am.
