I've been working on the first 5 Sixt lessons on YouTube.
I don't understand any French at all, and turning on YouTube's auto-translate function is hilarious.
What I take from the lessons are fingering (which is what I was seeking) and the fact that he wants us to practice legato and not "tap" the keys.
The knuckle-buster for me is the 4-note chord where you need to configure the hand before pressing the keys. So moving from a triangle shape to an upside-down triangle shape (my brain's way of thinking about it) is really challenging.
I only have a few days left until Sweetwater's 48-month 0% expires. Gotta plead my case with the wife or find a bag of money somewhere.
Acon: Thanks for the charts. I had a brief stint with guitar and I understand how the pentatonic has 5 different shapes depending on where you are on the fretboard.
Your charts help me to better visualize scales that don't start on the first row.
I need to find a book that starts with simple major scales and slowly introduces chromaticism, because as a newbie that keyboard is strange and intimidating.
