I'm a guitar player. 40 years. Chicago boy. Self taught. My guitar is currently vacationing at the local pawn shop spa. I have a keyboard in my apartment. I gotta jam on something. I can play me some Blues on guitar. Trust me. I learned a ton about the Blues from this tutorial. We guitar players eventually, through much practice, suss out the relationship between major and minor scales over the Blues. Those of us who strive to, that is. But the theory is often a mystery to us. Theory being a mystery to solve can lead to great discovery. That's why guitarists often have such unique styles. We're ignorant of music theory. Keyboard players generally take lessons early on. This tutorial makes sense to me. In fact, I rather easily jammed along on keyboard over it. Fun. Thanks!

A natural teacher.
All young kids at school should have the opportunity to have a musician teach in this style . On day one, kids would feel that joy of creating music.
