I've been playing all over the world with a few Grammy award winning artist and your lessons will make me a better keyboardist. I plan to get the entire lesson

[thenotemaster]

i really like this way of learning to improvise!

[samgurl85]

Very cool video. I'm commenting per your request. I think showing us creative ways to revoice chords is a fantastic idea. Perhaps showing how you can reharmonize and use different chords for replacements would also be good to show. Such as replacing major root with the 3 minor add 9.

[raptorzlolko]

playpianotoday i would love if you would help me get some nice phat chords to play in gospel music such as praise song like wonderful merciful savior

[swimmfst]

Great instruction. I am hopeful to make the jump from the initial series into the voicings. I am understanding the basic voicing spreads, but am still trying to put it all together with general chord changes. I truly appreciate all the work you have put into this for all of us trying to learn. It is all a great help.

[tinnimac]

great lessons, easy to grasp !

GOD bless you David !

[MrTeaB]

I'm sold, I will get all the downloads. I finished my last piano lessons about 10 years ago after 5 years. I am waiting for a yamaha p-85 digi piano. this music is lovely and doesn't look too overly complicated. I thought I would never be able to improvise but I now think it might happen.

[9830012722]

good !! really good!! easy to understand .....

[MOSDBEATS]

hey i checked out your vid, its pretty good. i produce music and need to learn some piano technics. thanks.

[LowesManager]

I have David Sprungers whole series CD's. I have started them and had to stop (move) had to leave piano behind. However, he is one of the best teachers that I have come across. I have had many teachers and his lessons are perfect for a beginner on up. Do yourself a favor and get the complete CD series.

[piano9899]

LowesManager - thanks for the kind words - I'm really sorry you had to leave your piano behind. Hopefully you can find some keys to bang on again! :) Have a happy new year - David Sprunger

[strongglory]

I really think ur an amazing player and i just found you this morning and i've been doing nothing but practice. I didn't know anything about this so thank you very very much.

[CerealRabbit]

This was an amazing lesson! I'm getting so much out of it. I've never really understood two handed (phat) voice chords, but now I'm starting to get the gist of it.

[phatsam88]

OK... I've never taken a piano lesson in my life. 40years old. And I can now sit down and make some beautiful sounds playing piano. The thing I notice is I can choose 3 chords and play for a while only changing patterns, rhythm and volume. Awesome thank you, thank you.

[rosangelataveira]
