Modern Blues for Keyboard shows very clear shots of the keys
that are being played. The camera adjusts the focus for the note range from
scene to scene, resulting in the clearest shots possible. Unused fingers
are moved out of the line-of-sight so that they do not cover up the view
of the keyboard. In addition, I verbally state the name of the note I'm
playing and state its functionality within the chord. I went to extremes
to make absolutely sure that you obtain a clear description of the notes
being played. You can learn to play everything in the video because you
can see what notes are played.
This video that provides a detailed description of the actual rhythmic
tools that blues/rock/jazz musicians use, so that you can adapt the concepts
for your own personal style, instead of merely copying licks without understanding
why they work. The video is almost 3 hours long. I made this video the way
that I would have liked to have seen it, when I was first learning to play.
All of these features add up to real value for the viewer. I offer a full
