'Serenata' - Latin jazz piano lesson in HD

If you can manage HD mode, try this in full screen mode - it is very clear!.
Most of my instructional videos have been either solo piano, or videos using my own backing tracks. This is a little different as I use a computer generated bass and drum track - one produced by PgMusic's amazing 'Real Tracks' feature. The backing on this track was created in Pg music's great program 'Band in a Box' using their 'Real Tracks' feature.(www.pgmusic.com). I simply typed the chords in, pushed record, and played in the 3 choruses of the song on my midi keyboard. I actually recorded the audio on my iriver MP3 player (which does line-in recording) as I played the song from a leadsheet (backing tracks from Realtracks and piano sound from my Yamaha P-250 piano). Band in a Box simultaneously recorded the piano improvisation as midi data in real time. There is a free to download video at

On my DVD is a printable transcription, and there is the backing track (MP3) to play along with. Details are at http://www.bushgrafts.com/jazz/DVDbuy.htm

Do you still use your iriver for your audio

recordings?  If so, are you satisfied with it?

[jazz2511]

Yes - I always do - it is an iriver X20.
