I finally understand this thanks to you. Thank you, also, for the very useful pdf. Unlike some others, I like the fact that you keep this content dense. I have to pause often the first time through, but when it comes time to review the material, I like how quickly you move through it. Once I learn the material, I don't want to review it at a speed that wastes my time.

There's a lot of really excellent stuff here and I'd love to absorb your well-analyzed examples. But, you are talking so fast and editing out every pause, so after a couple of minutes of trying to keep up, it just becomes a comedy skit of Music Theory on Steroids. If it were paced more slowly, I might be tempted to go to the patreon paywall and chip in. I don't mean to harsh, but someone had to let you know! Keep up the great work -- but "Langsam, Wozzek, langsam!"

Almost like a transposition from a C instrument to a Bb horn and back, in a way
