  2. Tim, thank you for providing all of this high-quality instructional information. Your teaching style really simplifies the learning process. And, I really appreciate that you demonstrate and teach the exercises on your instrument instead of just clapping them out. I’m very happy to have found your website; there’s so many cool things to learn here. 🙂
