I keep hearing people say to look at YouTube video. I just found one that's very basic and helpful, but generally the videos are so confusing to watch and try to duplicate. I just end up frustrated. Even vocal videos are, for some reason, disconnected to my actual trying it. I think one one one works better for me. I typically use YouTube to just absorb information. What's your best way to pick up musical skills? Any suggestions on using YouTube videos??

I’ve never tried learning with YouTube videos. I took a few years of lessons when I was a teenager. As an adult, I’ve mostly learned with books and practicing pieces. If I have a question, I might watch a tutorial on it or look for fingering suggestions, but I don’t have any specific channels in mind.
