Tenths fuck my life

You've got to start somewhere,This stuff is actually really complex.If you learn difficult pieces and all through your practicing take breaks and improvise,you'll end up with something that you might call your own thing.Some people will go there and some won't ever. It's a type of personality. I personally love these kinds of lessons. It helps to build a physical memory in the hands and an understanding of the syncopation as well as the theory behind it. All around good thing. Thanks keeps it up

@Shackamaxon Hello, what Mr. Hyman is playing near the end is the song "Home, Sweet Home", composed by Henry Bishop (with lyrics, not sung here, by John Howard Payne) from 1852. This tune was already such a standard (nearly a "folk" melody) by 1908 that it is no wonder that pro vaudvillians and prolific hit songwriters Van Alstyne (piano, music) and Williams (vocals, lyrics) used it in one of their songs!

I daresay "Home, Sweet Home" has probably been quoted in hundreds of other songs!!!

@trojj Ragtime was a style, he was playing stride and then the mix of the two and even threw in a boogie thing! Dont try and teach the masters, youll end up looking foolish... "Traditional" Ragtime was for dancers but it also involved banjos, guitars, drums, and other things. Its all a style and interpretation thing! He knows what he is doing and knows the history. Heck he was probably there! Jk...

[vickyarg10]

Thanks! It's been quite useful for me.

[Cillitpeng]

STRIDE SLOWER!!

Want to see, which keys are played...

[pianoguyyy]

man you're amazing

[trojj]

Ragtime should be slower because of its ragged rhytm and it was dance music...

[kingwoofer]

I wonder if people can hear the super -human aspect of this music and its players?
