  • Wow, I'm primarily a drummer but I also play violin and am just picking up electric guitar, so I've only had limited experience with piano and bass -- but I still found this absolutely fascinating!

    I'd show this to our keyboard player, but it's probably better that you can't hear our bass player, hehe =P

  • Loved the Santa Claus Is Coming To Town part at the end. Great lesson.

  • I've decided to listen to you and learn so much.....your videos are so helpful and am really thankful..........Godbless

    i've been playing guitar and keyboards on and off, i feel like there's something wrong with my playing and i didn't know what until i came across your videos...
