thanks so much for demystifying a few concepts in a matter of minutes. Brilliant! I barely play the piano; I’m a faker who can bang out the basic chords, but that’s about it. Watching these vids has convinced me that with a bit of experimentation, I can become an even better faker.
Thanks so much,
Steve R.
Bill April 28, 2010 at 9:23 pm: Cheers Steve - glad you liked it. I’m looking for ideas for new vids, so if you can think of any other areas you’d like to see covered, give me a shout.

I’m miles from home and on a dodgy web connection tonight, but when I get back I’ll have a listen to some of your stuff - sounds cool

Your videos are really great!!! Thanks so much for taking the time…
Could you help us with a tutorial on doing a walking bass?

Thanks again… I hope you continue making your videos! You don’t know how much you’ve helped us!!!

Cheers,

Maria
Bill August 19, 2010 at 2:22 pm: Hi Maria: yep, sure thing - I’ll put one together. I may post it here, or I may give it a bluesier theme and post it on my new site, http://www.bluespiano.tv. Check here, there or on my YouTube channel and you should see it pretty soon!
