Here's an explanation of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62tIvfP9A2w

Cool, but I was expecting it to make sound.

Maybe this works as review for people who already know it, but it seems like it might be overwhelming for beginners. Learning to recognize 2-5-1 when you hear it in a song might be a better way to start? Despite taking piano lessons as a kid, I was in college before I learned to recognize 12-bar blues whenever I heard it. That's pretty late, but you're part of the lucky 10,000 whatever day you learn. https://xkcd.com/1053/
