I am a (retired) teacher having taught in a jazz studies course at a tertiary college in Geelong Australia.
My primary interest is to provide as much information as I can to intermediate - advanced jazz piano students.
I record the video (on a cheap webcam), audio (as an MP3 file on my computer) and as a midi file (on my Yamaha P-250 piano) all at the same time so all are in sync.
Usually straight after recording, I add the comments that try to explain some of the melodic/harmonic ideas that I used.
The videos are assembled later - often with transcriptions (generated from the midi file by computer - usually PowerTracks from PGmusic) and always with annotations that explain some of the techniques used.
Go to my website at http://www.bushgrafts.com for free downloads of these videos.
- or go to my website to buy my DVD with all the videos at high quality and extra printable transcriptions. Hitting 'Ctrl/Shift/S' in Windows Media Player slows the DVD videos down!

All the Videos, midi files,transcriptions, leadsheets and backing tracks that I have done are on my DVD (below).

I asked a question on your latest video and then came back to your channel and I think I found the answer. I will search for Powertracks from PG MUSIC. Thanks again for a truly inspirational channel. I am just now teaching my self to play... In school I won the National Jazz Educators Award for drumming. I love jazz and big band swing. THANKS!

Hey Doug, just want to say thanks for these extremely valuable tutorials and just great playing. I've gleaned some gold nuggets here that have been very beneficial to my playing.
There are many like me who never comment and either just listen to the great music or is a great source of information.
I know this is lot of work producing these quality videos and I just say thanks from the bottom of my heart....

I can only lust after your talent. I try, but am not in your league. I wish you were playing in a bar somewhere tonight and I could just sit with a wine, and listen!!

Hi Doug, I have been enjoying all of your material for last few years. Thank you for providing so much for us! I am in California. Are you in Half Moon Bay? Sorry if mistaken.
