Hi

I'm on a slow boat journey trying to improve my playing. Occasionally I wipe the dust off my camcorder. If my later video clips are a tad better than my earlier clips from a technical playing standpoint, it means I might even be travelling in the right direction.

I'm happy to share any knowledge I have acquired during my journey. It can be practicing tips, sound settings, how I do my recordings, or the lengthy guide I wrote for how to learn 'Green Onions'. Just write a comment or a message and I will reply.

If you like what you hear and see in my channel or find something that can be of use in your own playing, that's great!

Thanks for visiting!

Keep swinging,

Hi yogertlvr

Thanks!

I'm always working on my timing (left/right hand timing and also timing in general) as I find that timing is one of my weak spots. My timing has improved but I still have much milage to cover in this area.

You music is incredible, I really enjoy it. You have a wonderful sense of timing, and rhythm, and it makes listening to your music enjoyable. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Thanks Jampy!
About 'The Cat'. I have thought about that song now and then for quite some time, as I like it very much. I have the original recording from 1964 and also a few other takes with Jimmy Smith. Maybe I will do the song. Time will tell...

Hi DemonSlayerThe3rd

You mean when I go (often with the same chord) from the upper to the lower manual at my Nord C1? Then I'm sliding my fingers. I'm not thinking about pressing the keys first at the upper manual and then thinking about pressing the keys at the lower manual. Instead I think about how to perform the sliding down so that the timing will be right.

Keep swinging,
