In the Contributors area the videos of Joe T and Ryan are fairly obvious in how they relate to the study material and much of it correlates to the LOA methodology. The videos of Aki Kumar, Mark Hummel and Gary Smith are a bit less obvious. They're labelled as Submissions. But these great players are also in the Interview area but with what appears to be different material. Can you clarify what the intent of Contributors was to help me sort through how to approach the huge amount of material you've made available to us?

Answer

Their interviews are about their approach to the music and technique. For the contributor videos they pick a subject and speak about it. You'll find Mark's, and especially Gary's, to cover some of the same subject matter on the website... like when the accompaniment lessons came out they were also speaking of accompaniment.
