Jackson Street Blues by Martha Mier

Me playing the above. I'm not doing the Grade 5 ABRSM exams but heard Harry playing this on Youtube and realised I just HAD to learn it. Enjoyable to play but much harder to play and learn than it looks. Maybe one day I'll master it!

Thanks very much for the kind comments. I'm now playing the song much more slower and controlled and still loving it as much! I'll check out your videos too!

Great stuff! :D You got the swinging rhythm perfect. The most important part of mastering a piece is being able to memorize it. Then you can play without thinking. You really should consider doing Grade 5, it'll be good to have it under your belt. Well done :)

Thanks Harry but nowhere near as good as yours ;-) Tbh my playing ability is far above my music reading ability, I'd have to work on getting it up to scratch first. In the meantime, just enjoying learning some new songs.

This is really good :)

I played this for my grade 5 exam in November and acheived 29/30 it's a really fun piece to play
