Notes on the Streams

Beginners
1

I love the Mirai Live streams.i fully appreciate not wanting to put something in print. Being the owner of around 200 books on bonsai and a complete set of Bonsai Today Magazines, I appreciate the limitations of the media as well as the fact that it gets dated. Much easier to replace a stream.
That being said, I have always learned best by taking detailed notes. More having the streams to go back to, along with approximate time stands to use as guidance,I find i can get the most out of the material presented.
I find that Ryan Neil often presents valuable information in flurries. When with the recorded streams and being able to go forward and backward on multiples of 10 seconds intervals depending on how many times you tap each side of the screen. I find i often had to re+listen to pages multiple times to try to ensure I did not miss anything
Below is a listing of the streams I have noted for.i am hoping the this becomes a collaborative effort by Members of the community. The notes are in no way an effort to replace, but an effort to supplement the streams. You need to watch the streams. The notes below represent weeks of not months of effort. Even with that effort there are misspelling and confused content present. By and large the notes I have reviewed are mostly correct.
The name of the more is the name of the stream. The date is the date recorded.

I agree, it’s difficult to determine which videos to watch and in which order when you’re just getting started. I’ve gone through multiple iterations of trying to organize the content in a way that makes sense to me. What I found is after a certain point you start to understand the fundamentals and start seeing the commonalities between things. I have by no means gotten to the point where things make sense across the board but I can see the forest starting to thin;) I think your list is pretty good and is roughly the order that I would probably suggest to someone new as well! The one outlier would be the azalea lectures, if you’re not keen on azaleas. Those are of limited help.

The main Azelea Stream documentedis one of the z lecture Series. I watch and document all of Tujunga Lecture a Series Streams. I do like Azelea and has several 15 years ago before i ended up in the hospital for 10 Cathy’s and without care all my Bonsai died. They seem to be oneof the more popular deciduous evergreens.
BTW- do you listen to streams multiple times? If not do you feel you caught everything important the first listen? If so, do you pick upmore on subsequent listens?
I do. Which is why i started taking notes. Please ask for one you believe tippy are familiar with. Shin and Watering Lecture Series would be a great place to start. Then ask for the notes and let me know if they add anything?
Thanks for replying

Hi @RichB, could I get your notes from the Azalea Fundamentals with Joe Harris lecture please? I’m struggling to find the recording in the library.

Thanks!
