Hey Ricky!! Can you give a complete breakdown of "God Wants a Yes"???

[MusicBoyGenius]

i think i have the DVD with JP playing it

[chowchop1]

WHAT UP RICK?!?!??!?!.......MI DUDE

[hamb3]

This is way too abstract for me. But it is so pretty, but please just keep it straight. Sounds nothing like the way James Hall wrote it!

[rockin982]

Then go listen to the James Hall CD.

[adonisvowsen]

very nice 'dramatics'.. other than that, it was extremely sloppy.

[bussitbabay]

i asume you have a video of you doing better?

[TRADEWITDAFADE]

I agree with LLcooltempJ. James Hall's arrangements are already out of this world. You betta do it, boy! Go head!

[iharden]

AND...this video is from when Ricky was 12!!!

[deaforganist001]

I am delighted. Thanks for that fine music.

[EDUCATEDMAN1906]

YOU BETTA PLAY BOY!

[wnbagirl42]

wat key are you playing in

[brentduanefoster]

The song itself, is in F Sharp!

[LLroomtempJ]

crazy that people are reharmonizing james hall songs. Excellent playing, man.

[ebufford]

AWESOME DOC!!! (I wish my parents had the money to give me piano lessons...it would have paid off by now just as you!) -Bigger Blessings for you doc! Hay Rick try to meet me at Rev. Dewey Smith's big music conference this coming July in De. GA! This is were Kevin Bond is now! It's going to be awesome dude!

[IntelInside2020]

Tatum or Garner didn't need lessons; there's no substitute for desire.

[Major2219]

Dude!! you sound just like John Peters!!!! How long did it take you to learn his style?

[luchu18]

yea!!!

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

DITTO TO WHAT CRUMPTITE SAID! WOW!!!

[jaedeal]

thanks 4 posting !

[Crumptite]

Instead Of him being "Dat n*gga" I think Blessed And Highly Favored is appropriate; Keep doing your thing Rick....

Representin the Boot (aka) Louisiana

[Indensity]

so formal lol

[Crumptite]

No it's not the matter of being formal my dude, just think of it as this; we don't know who these people are behind these comments. Had it been White person, sayin' that NIGGA'(even though I'm sure it wasn't)we all would have a different discussion goin on right now. So let's just keep it real and move on. Besides My boy Rick is doin' some amazing work for the lord. We need to treat him as Royalty....We all Royalty whether you wanna accept it or not.

[gaiden88]

Ricky, Whats up. I found your video clips about a month ago. Man I've really been bless by them. Keep putting stuff online.

[ebufford]

Ric, What kind of overhead video set up do you have there? -Thanks 'EB'

[isaiahangelo]

Now this is what I have to work on. I love how you glide through chord changes seemingly without effort (although being a pianist/organist I know there's effort involved).

[ranierisantos]

good, very good

[masterstiv]

very very nice...

[Jazzeerun]

Thank God for the Internet. Otherwise, the world would have never heard of Ricky Drapper. Great harmonics!

[propheticmusic]

WOW!!!!

[tonetone]

If im not mistaken thats James Hall?

[rickydraper]

yes it is James Hall... its a reharmonization of "God Want's a Yes" arranged by John Peters, check out his "Piano Toolbox DVD"... thats where i got it from

[jaredsfa2004]

if you noticed, most gospel pianist like to stay around the Gb pentatonic scale...usually....that's what i've noticed...

[rickydraper]

true... gospel guys like flat keys, mainly Bb, Eb, Ab, Db maj pentatonic scales since the crossover is much easier! but i guess its easier for cats to visualize the Gb pent since it is all black

[mzcraze]

dammmn boi i wish i was half u

[timcondition]

Dude, you gotta send me those chords!!! Nice playing!!!

[rickydraper]

i posted my transcription of this tune on my website... http://rickydraper.com/transcr­iptions/JohnPetersGodWantsAYes­.pdf
