  • "This is what's known as a turntable" LOL!

    What, no MIDI? No MP3 chord recovery software?

    It appears that you earned every bit of your technique. And while others were having fun that left nothing tangible you were lengthening your stride.

    My admiration, Sir.

  • Thank you!

    Yes, no MIDI and no MP3 chord recovery software.....I do, however, have a beeper and a fax machine...........LOL

    On the serious side,I have been very impressed with many younger players but concerned with what I am not hearing. I am in total support of pianists learning this style by any means available. I highly recommend that they invest the time to develop a critical ear. Stride is not merely about notes & speed. Depth,inventiveness and subtlety are equally important.

  • Agreed. After so many questions about how I learned stride I decided to show how it was done before casettes and CD's. Whatever medium a player uses, a takedown requires time, persistence,repetition and an abundance of patience.

  • Thanks, this was very helpfull

  • The good news is that a good amount of Johnson's repertoire is available in CD, including this one. Surely a great model to follow.
