Great article! I think we all encounter a request to learn a "new" piece of music at least once a month. Often the virtuosos version that they have found on Youtube. The suggestion of combining elements from different versions is a great one. Thanks Garreth!
Yeah, those virtuoso versions can be a nightmare! This 'Magpie' approach evolved out of my trying to figure out how to find a balance between their enthusiasm for exactly those videos, and actually giving them something achievable. I hope you find it useful in your studio!
