About this Blog:
I put up this website as a way to add additional information and related files to my Youtube posts. I am going to have some video tutorials for sale. Other downloads will be free. I am trying to gauge the interest and demand for these types of learning materials. My Youtube channel is: www.youtube.com/7notemode.
About me:
I love playing jazz piano, although I came to it late. I started in my mid twenties I'm currently 51 years old. I began piano lessons at 9. I quit formal lessons at 16. I studied classical, but also played a fair amount of gospel for church as a teenager. At 26 I was lucky enough to find a jazz piano instructor who had a great methodology. I took for about a year. Mainly he taught me how to listen to recordings and solo's, and how to emulate them. Unfortunately, work took me away from piano for a while, but the past few years I have been much more consistent in playing. My work really doesn't allow me to gig, so I play for my own enjoyment. I saw some great solo video's on youtube, so I thought I would join in. I hope somebody out there enjoys it.
