[InTD93]

Nice performance..what type of keyboard is that

[7notemode]

@InTD93 4 year old Yamaha CP300. Thx.

[GutpileCharlie]

Just a big grin from ear to ear. That is a fantastic piano sound.

[7notemode]

@GutpileCharlie Thanks!  I love the instrument.

[Mrc1Star]

So very tasteful! As are "all" your posts.

Thank you for sharing.

A truly envious fan

[7notemode]

@Mrc1Star Thanks!

[100MFJOSH]

I would love to get lessons from you! Do you know anyone around the bay area that teaches jazz piano?

[7notemode]

@100MFJOSH Sorry, no.

Having a rotten, frustrating morning...lots of computer problems. So I clicked on your new video & my spirits were instantly calmed and lifted! Thanks! Love listening to you, as always.

[7notemode]

@fionatina Hey, that's great. Thanks!

[Lot2learn]

I really like this very much Tom - superb playing per usual.

[7notemode]

@Lot2learn Thanks Roger.

hi 7notemode. I am an intermediate pianist, but because of my responsibilities and obligations I tend to loose out and fall prey to forgetfullness. I never had formal training and I always look for ways to memorize a piece, but i struggle to do so. Do you have some exercises i could do that actually can be implemented into for example the song you play in your vid? VERY DESPERATE!!

[7notemode]

@time2learnnow Sorry, can't think of a resource right now. The main thing is to relax and don't get in an anxious mindset, as this is self defeating.

[time2learnnow]

@7notemode I understand. Could you then tell me 2 jazz exercises you would do for practicing?

Thanks for your quick reply.

[alliax]

I also like your room, it feels quality, wealth, and the playing is just fabulous, I don't know if you got that money from your playing or if it's just something aside.. But your setup sure looks nice, the lcd screen above the wonderful keyboard and the mac sitting on top, the rug, wood floor, hifi system, all feels so nice to live in :-)

[vocalchords88]

Interesting interpretation. Always inspiring and always evidence of your continuing growth as a player. The Ivory sounds great.

[tjmpiano]

I never tire of listening to your gifted playing... I too was away from the piano for too long... it provided so much joy to the player and to those who listen..

Thank you for the wonderful vids... NEVER stop

[greob]

Very nice! Great sound too.

[colemantwebster]

nice playing.

Who makes the Ivory upright? And how do like the touch?

[7notemode]

@colemantwebster Synthogy makes Ivory Pianos, which is a sampled piano that resides on your computer. The touch is very responsive.

[jazz2511]

Terrific Tom! Great song beautifully played.

[7notemode]

@jazz2511 Thank you!

[MrDanThePianoMan]

Great job! Your playing is always very clean.
