Georgia on My Mind - jazz piano solo

[kaiskorner]

what keyboard do you use?

[keepinbeat]

I learnt this whole song exactly how you play it from watching you hands and memorizing. i think I've forgotten it now because that was over a year ago but i thought i should let you know how brilliant you are at voicing chords and phrasing runs, i really enjoy your style. :)

[virginiaanton]

***Thank you so much for your great DVD***! Since I've heard your jazz improvisations on youtube, I decided to learn jazz piano. Would you mind if I would use some of the sheets from your DVD for recording and uploading a couple of demosongs on my website? I think it will take a long time till I'll be able to improvise like you, but your wonderful suggestions will point me in the right direction.

[jazz2511]

@virginiaanton No problem! Thanks for the comment. Doug

10 dislikes??? I'm so sorry that these 10 people aren't deeply touched by the beauty of Doug's rendition of this classic. It's so beautiful it is moving.

[blacksk8r386]

I feel like I should have a glass of wine.

[paulosergio43]

Excellent improvising on your part! Great job!

[tobsta14]

very nice, you remind me of my teacher

[Victoriasoulmusic]

lovely..thanks.

[whatevermusiclive]

With this song, you've just decided me to begin learning piano.

That's not a lie, i'm a passionate musician, but piano is an instrument that i've never played, and today, you made me wanna start.

What a beautiful resolution for 2011 :)

Thank you.

[wnieke]

Excellent improvising on your part! Great job!

[phantomgirl24]

absolutely beautiful.

any suggestions for getting sheet music for this song?

[geltvaha]

Superb!

[Bonezy95]

good work, this is freakin beautiful...

[zbarneyz]

Hey, i've not really gone al the way with my ear training. But is this song in the key of a?

[googolplex101]

@zbarneyz no it's in F

[vivch22]

LUV this!!!

[egorham2006]

yeah this is WPFW worthy

[iamyourecho]

the one hugh laurie played in house is really good too... first time i heard it i sat down and didnt get up until i was able to play it... but these versions sound pretty good too.. maybe ill try and mix them a little...

it was a great pleasure listening... thank you

[paddyS18]

loved every second of, amazing stuff. well done

[jbandcamiglia4ever]

love it :)

[rtel123]

I have heard countless interpretations of this song. This has to be among the best, if not the best. So many pleasant surprises. Delightful.

[rotosphere2000]

Great feeling, wonderful feel, full of soul.

[Fabry555]

4:54 very wonderful..

[Fabry555]

1:46 I'm afraid!! This is awsome.. Compliments from Italy. Very nice, with heart. Very good. Bravo

[sundaeflow]

my personal fav song!

[keepinbeat]

ive learned it note for note up to 00:36 haha. that flourish of chords is too hard to see or sound out. :(((

[FunkenDK]

That one was actually quite fitful for "Baby Grand" with Ray Charles and Billy Joel. With a few changes it could actually fit rather clean thought.

[boringrem]

But the one they play in house is muh better

[jazzaces294]

This makes me want to learn jazz piano. I play guitar and sax but theres just something about a keyboard, its so jazzy and elegant

[crazypianolady]

Haha I'm the other way round. I play piano, but want to learn guitar and sax! I'll swap? :-)

[jazzaces294]

haha I want to keep playing guitar and sax though! Pianos on my list of instruments to learn

[crazypianolady]

Go for it! It'll be your friend for life. And I've seen your upload and it's fantastic, gotta love the blues! I have subscribed and eagerly await more...(no pressure haha)

[jazzaces294]

Thanks! I'll hopefully be doing a couple more soon. My amp is at my high school for rehersals, but I'll bring it home over winter break and do a couple electric videos.

[qwertyuploader]

don't swap, play all ;D

i play guitar, and a little of harmonica and drums, but i'm starting with piano now

[poloiscool123]

@jazzaces294 I'm so thankful that I can play piano... I've just pssed my Grade 7 with flying colours and am going to buy the book that has this in it! I cannot wait!

[TriviumNow]

Wow could you send me a transcript?

[gtownrox]

hey i believe its a yamaha cp300...i know that coz i want 1 lol

[briannAHHH7]

how do u get that sound out of a keyboard? It's absolutely perfect! so professional! What kind of keyboard is it? I'd kill for it... u play this so well XD

[Miganiya]

to think this is an improvisation, and it's going to take me a week of practice... But if I ever start playing on board, it will be thanks to this gentleman's video

[pianoman8t8]

wow...! that was amazing! do you have sheet music for that or any thing?

[dapayne]

Bravo!!!!!!

[gokan69]

Very nice!! So smoothe man, I could listen to this all day long. Thanks for sharing!! Peace!

[alexle92]

Marvelous! I'm working on the transcript that you sent me. Will reply with an audio once I master it. Thanks!

[titopuentez]

[MrPresidentFox]

I absolutely love your piano playing. It helps me relax listening to it.

Keep up the good work, mate.

[musictranscription]

I've done this score

[Triuntolearn]

[GRADIENTE34]

I LIKED THE BLUES SCALES WHEN U USED !!

[eshotel]

Can we have a tutorial? It could help the community to master this song ... Man you daaaamn good Keep Going NO BITCH ASSNESS!

[guitarpunk7737]

amazing playing, good work, keep it up

[liquidicesong]

When I hear this guy play I feel like a complete loser. I will never be this good. I see you feel the same way (though you react to it in another way).

Great jazz piano, some of the best I've EVER heard. Right there with any big name.

[pepperc2900]

did i hear a little bit of "Hymn To Freedom" in there?

[Timmio89]

OOoeh... That's Good.

[Mercedez92]

Wow I Love This Piece. im Working On Playing it Now. But Im No Where Near This Good Yet!!

Thanks

[richardfallows]

wow i realy like that is there any way you could chunk this up for learning i mean like barr by barr in slow mode i realy think this is something i could learn if you were able to do this

cheers richard

[Drbolla345]

Can i truly say that i really look up to you. You are really an inspirational individual, quite like a hero. I tried playing jazz, but never as good as you.

[Triuntolearn]

Oh my! This is something. Kind of emotional for me just to hear someone play like this. From a 56 year old beginner who should NOT have wasted 40 years not playing.

[hookedonguitar]

Thanks so much for this one Doug, I'm playing this for an audition (on guitar), and have spent so long practising it, that I kinda lost what the song was all about. Your playing really reminded me, the essence of beauty! You're incredibly skilled, but deeply expressive too. Always great to see!

[usertutubo06]

Long live Yamaha digitals!!!

[cagethug]

te mereces un "FAVORITO"!

[paiment]

You have to transcribe this, this is very well done.

[jazz2511]

I have - it is on the DVD I have made - see the address in the 'About This Video' above

[ethantjai]

awesome-ly played.. wish i got the time to go into your lessons. Thnx for posting these vids, its hard to find scores with explanations for a wannabe jazz pianist XD

[1arrya]

We lost Oscar on Dec. 23rd. So sad. You're playing sure is soulful and eases the pain of Oscar's passing. Thanks for your dedication to your art.

[bccadet63]

at 1:46 please tell me the notes PLEASEE!!!!!

[jazz2511]

C, up to A, C, down to A, F, C, B (Basically an F Major triad)

then

F, then up to Bb and D together,

back down to F

then up to Ab and C together

slide off the Ab to A then down to F, C

Then B and F together, down to F below the B

then Bb and F together, back down to F

then Ab and D together

Hope this helps - a transcription is on my DVD

[Angelik07]

Amazing!

[bentchow]

Damn... you are good. I like all those blues licks you added. What's your secret to keeping time?

[bhuj89]

absolutely 1:46 is a nice lick

[MrPignati]

1:46 THE BURNER, oh my holy god... ;-) nice

[syd4444]

Only one word, SUPERB!!!!!

[jumanlee]

very soothing...

[Q2Beesh71]

absolutly wonderfull,perhaps better ray

[dds5]

Whoa now.

[lancertunerr]

Yes, your keyboard sounds extreamly inpressive! Sounds just like a full grand piano. Love it man

[sapetoku67]

Magnificent... Is there a compilation of your recordings ? that would be great to listen your music out of you tube

[123sl4]

Nice man! Is it a Yamaha P250? The best pianolike sound ever made for live playing on those pianos..! :D I have the Cp300 ^^

[pianistica]

great done!, awesome!. I really enjoyed it.

[JuanPabloMac]

Master, Man, Master !!!

[b4bs2000]

I like your style, too many jazz pianist sound to me like they are banging away but you have a nice harmonic style that is relaxing as well as enjoyablt to listen to. Keep up the great work!

[lonewolfproductions1]

you are probably the best piano player i have ever heard!!! thanks

[1jazzsinga]

This one is very nice. Worth more than 5 stars. Thank you once again for being a great teacher for so many folks.

[orangeparade]

wow, i'm actually having goosebumps, it's melancholic yet so sweet with a tinge of innocent - something like the failed first attempt of a little boy's confession to his crush. jsut sweet, lol.

[endofdays5767]

very nice

[adrianperticone]

I love your harmonies!!!!! good job!!! you are awesome!!!!

[soundtech64]

reposition the cam man.

[karita1982]

I remember this as the signature tune of Nat Gonella and the Georgians, a band that was famous many years ago

[markbra]

Would you please do a version of Bobby Timmons,

Dat There. Thanks

[benjaminebrownjr]

I have been listening, and watching your video for days. I love the changes. I'm gonna copy some of them.

[friendlybarman]

this music is to be listened in the dark, in the deep of our vivences, the tears of our remembers.

[heavydutyfats]

I love it man! Great changes I'm going to copy them!

[ekspurt]

Excellent. You are great.

[JohnnytoShoes]

Need Sheet Music. I ran the music through Sibelius but turned out looking like crap. Tons of ledger lines and such. If you're not interested though, thats okay. :D

[jackjtang]

Wow, thanks for putting up those notes on what you did and showing your hands and keyboard in full view.

[julitogomez15]

WOW that s amazing , one of the best version i ve seen since oscar peterson!

[LatePianist]

Ah what a classic! So personal, so soulful, so Doug. Just reminds me why im such a big fan of yours.

[matprot]

Many thanks Doug. Cant get enough listen to your music :)

[moniliformis]

Congratulations, great performance, great arrangement and great choice.

Greetings from Catalonia.

[guzmanvoip]

You have a great style. Thanx for this and all your videos !!!!

[noreht]

That was simply amazing, your subtitiles are surely a treat and help break down whats going on, thanks for sharing your talent.

TQ

[dcstudio]

another great arrangement Doug! just beautiful

[AcePro]

Is this you? If so, wow, you are wonderful. If not, who exactly is it, and is he well known? If he isn't well known, then he should be. I loved it alot!

[Bball336]

This song is by Ray Charles.

[choozart]

Composed by Hoagie Carmichael, made popular by Ray Charles.

[AcePro]

I was asking about the piano player, silly. I know what song it is =). But yes I am now a fan of his videos, and love them to death.
