Okay, this intro is really getting to the point right away. I like that they're immediately addressing the 'how-to' of creating good intros, and the idea that it's universal across tempos and genres is a solid hook.

This is a great way to start the series. Establishing that the techniques are broadly applicable to jazz, gospel, and pop, regardless of tempo, makes me feel like this is going to be really useful for anyone playing piano.
