bravo

[MrSuriachen]

The nearness of you ... I think



[DajaWaja]

@MrSuriachen man read the title...tea for two

[DajaWaja]

im sorry i found this one kind of boring, but most of what you play i dig

[Jazzpianoyogi]

@DajaWaja Shame you felt the need to say this. You could have said nothing at all....

[DajaWaja]

@Jazzpianoyogi shame you didnt read my comment as you should have read it and shame you had to say this to me cause you could've said nothing at all. My criticism is constructive because after listening to many of this guy's videos i've realized what i like and what i don't which MUST be said. You're a stupid ass mothafucka

[Jazzpianoyogi]

@DajaWaja You dish out "constructive criticism" , but can't take it in return (as your last sentence shows ;-)). There's wisdom in the old wives' tale "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all". You found it boring, never mind. Move on. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry about that. But think of the time and energy Doug put into producing this video. It's gotta hurt a bit when someone takes 3 seconds of their time to let him know it was "boring". That's all.

Eccellente esecuzione!

Grazie :o)

You also solved the previous problem of the notation dropping down an octave or 2 when the notes got out of a certain staff range. This is all good, and would be very suitable for me to easily put into my alternative music notation, where enharmonics dont occur because each of the 12 pitches has its own note and staff position. (I also have independent names for the black keys H I J K and L, which makes chord symbols clearer - How many jazz piano players would misread a Cb chord?)

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Another question, are the chord symbols derived from the notes by an automatic computer process? I noticed some enharmnics would not be what you would normally write, eg when it modulates to A, the A maj7 is called Am, then later it reads Dbm7 instead of C#m7.

[ExpressStaveNotation]

You are a gem! How have you got the free time midi file to get the timing into the right beats? You also seem to have solved the noation as far as hand splits. I would really love to now your methodology here.

yeah man. wow. great lesson. great format. This is exactly what I've been looking for. As someone who learned how to play jazz in group settings, I never got a lot of experience doing solo work. I've been looking for a way to figure out those techniques. this is perfect! thanks!

[BernardProfitendieu]

almost as nice as Edith Bouvier Beale's interpretation

Wonderful job, Doug...put a smile to my face.....lots of air under that playing!!!

[joeholtsnotes]

Cool!! This arrangement has everything!

All of your "nods" hit the mark.

This might be my favorite so far.

Thanks!

[CDfavorites]

absolutley the most enjoyable and inspiring "piano lesson" on YouTube--always a super pleasure to listen to you--and Michelle--wish I could play as well

[christgarland]

Wow. Wow! - I'm new to this, and a trillion miles from what you can play but the format is great; hard to imagine a better teaching tool. Thanks for taking the trouble - gives me something to aspire to.

[daddymagz]

Thanks once again, Doug,
