From The Studio Of Musician, Willie Myette
Dear Fellow Pianist,
Are you tired of your Jazz playing sounding stale? Do you want your playing to sound Sophisticated, Full and Professional? On this DVD, I will show you exactly how to do this.
Never before have jazz and improvisation concepts been broken down so step-by-step before. You can apply the techniques I am about to show you to literally thousands of songs in all styles!
My new Piano In A Snap Series from JazzPianoLessons.com teaches you to hear and play piano chords and improvisation. This is not a boring course! You will quickly begin forming those professional sounding piano chords and improvisation with your own two hands.
I break every concept down step-by-step. You can watch my hands or download and print the sheet music.
You do not need to know how to read music to use this DVD series. Music is included, but you can just as easily play, pause and rewind the DVD to your heart's content.
Solo Piano - Not Stale Piano
Here's the challenge: How do you Create Rich, Interesting Chords & Improvisation that will keep your listeners engaged? Now maybe that listener is just you and the family dog or it could be a concert hall full of people. It doesn't matter.
What matters is learning and, more importantly, understanding how to create fun and interesting arrangements and improvisation so that you can apply them to thousands of songs that you know and love.
Am I Talking To You?
Are you asking "Is this DVD right for me?"
This DVD series is geared for intermediate and advanced players. If you are an absolute beginner to the piano (I mean, you don't know a C from a G on the piano), I'd suggest that you start with the JazzKids® series or the DVD100 Jazz & Blues DVD from JazzPianoLessons.com.
If you know how to improvise at least a 'bit', then this step-by-step lesson is about to launch your chords and improvisation into the stratosphere!
The DVD is presented like you were sitting right next to me in my studio watching my hands. Only difference, you can:
Watch the DVD over and over again if you miss something
Watch on your own time and schedule, even 3 a.m.!
Download the MIDI file to see every note that I play
Play along with the band using the Jam-With-The-Band&tm; Tracks
You won't be "in the dark" with these lessons. And, if you do have a question, you'll have unlimited access to the JazzPianoLessons.com User's Forum where you can ask questions and get answers.
Important Techniques Covered on This DVD:
Creating Rich, Beautiful chords over My Funny Valentine
Moving away from the "stock" changes and re-harmonizing
Understanding Dominant motion
Preceding chords with other related chords
How to easily create a pedal tone that creates immediate interest
Comping techniques and tricks that I use
Scales (besides the Major and Blues scale) that you can use for improvisation
Using inner voices to add motion to your chords
Deciphering chords within chords
Tri-tone substitutions and Sub V's
Sounds Hard, Huh?
It's not! I've spent over a decade breaking these concepts down for beginning improvisors as young as 6 years-old, so I know that motivated students can easily learn my exciting system that teaches you all of these concepts one step at a time. You're going to be really excited when someone hears you play and asks you for lessons.
SEE The Notes, Step-By-Step
Yes, I do break down each concept that I am playing step-by-step. But, sometimes it is difficult to see what I am playing. My fingers might be in the way or it is a fast passage. Virtual keyboard to the rescue!
Above the "real" keyboard is a "virtual keyboard" that allows you to see every note that I am playing. The notes that I play light up on the keyboard, so when you pause the video, you can see the notes I just played!
Learn My Improvisation Tricks
Let's face it, learning to improvise is a challenge! However, the new My Funny Valentine DVD makes it, well...a snap to learn a lot of tricks that I use in my soloing.
Why? Because you can "look over my shoulder" as I improvise and build those hip jazz chord voicings.
Are you a music reader? Well, you'll appreciate that a MIDI version of the DVD is also available. You can load the MIDI file into many different (free) MIDI players and see what notes I am playing. Best of all, you can change the tempo and the key!
Let's Get To The Examples!
The best way to experience this new DVD is to see it in action. Below are several clips from the DVD.
I'm loving the lessons. I've been looking for you for years, and now after having tried a number of others, I'm finally home.
I'm already a professional musician who is mostly self-taught, and your classes are helping fill in the holes in my education. I've played every type of music (including zydeco, right now) but my dream is to be a jazz player. And it won't be long. It's in me and it's coming out...quickly!
I just can't thank you enough.
-Joy
I have very much appreciated your teaching style & lessons over the past few months.
Definitely upgraded my piano playing & personal "sound", especially as I have learned to add favorite changes to all kinds of lovely new chord inversions, turnarounds & more interesting bass patterns.
So thank you for all you are doing in putting it all together!
