If you are thinking about buying his dvd's i would seriously reconsider. I recently bought volume 1 of his series teaching you how to play popular songs and I expected to get alot more information seeing as i payed for the dvd but your really don't. HIs youtube video teaches you way more along the lines of step by step, chord names and how to put it together. The only thin i got on the dvd was him playin, then him playing in slow motion and then left hand and right hand. Please reconsider!
But I've noticed, and you're not the only one that does this, that everyone repeats those 2 parts, when there is really a third. Since SWV's Rain is the same thing I'm going to use that as an example. There is another part when they sing "And I simply lose control." No other tutorials teach you how to play this part.
Do you have perfect pitch so you can play all your pieces by ear or do you find the tunes on such sites...? Thanks wicked though I've listened to the song and couldn't make out nearly half of it (despite it playing over a monotonous repetition for a little over 3 minutes) yeeuch.
That's awesome.. I learned that in like 15 mins. You're a great teacher man.. And it's not that long too.. I'm trying to do the left hand part of Unfaithful by Rihanna in your other video. Awesome man..
way to go chingy, take a shit all over jaco's grave will you. fucking rappers keep stealing peoples shit. man wtf's chingy's problem, at least get it recorded on a real bass, not some fucking synthesisers.
i dont kno if anyone said this already...but this is a variation on Jaco Pastorius's bass solo Portrait of Tracy...theres videos of it on youtube just type in Portrait of Tracy...its good variation and a good song but the original is amazing
This melody was not written by Chingy. The original song that this was sampled from is called "Portrait of Tracy" by Jaco Pastorious (RIP), released in 1976. Played on Fretless electric bass, using mostly natural harmonics for the main melody.
Big ups man,i play piano by ear since six,no lessons still,i watch like the first 20 seconds and picked up,thanks,i didnt need all 30 minutes,20 seconds helped me,i figured the rest,i can pick up on long hard melodies in one minute or two.
im learning a lot from u just wanted 2 say thnx A LOT u rock sooooo much & u sound really good with the piano/vocal thing u did with i write sins not tragedies thnx again <333333
bravo, I am liking your new tutorials. They are now easier to follow and by telling us the chords I don't have to watch the video over to see what your playing, =P lol. Fantastic tutorial!
