God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - McCoy Tyner Style Interpretation

In keeping with the holiday theme of my last view uploads, I have taken the liberty to interpret a traditional Christmas song in the style of one of my favorite pianists, the great McCoy Tyner. I hope you enjoy watching/listening to this rendition as this is one style of music I certainly enjoy playing.

The chord changes I use are available as a free download on my website at http://www.Lot2Learn.com (scroll down towards the bottom of the page) and the MIDI and PDF file of my solo along with the backing track used is available on my website as well.

Technical Notes:
MIDIKeyz software used for the on-screen MIDI keyboard www.Midikeyz.com

Thanks again to all!
Roger
