I think one of the hardest things for musicians to do is to intentionally play at a level of sophistication that is lower than they are capable of. We are wired to want to demonstrate our skill; in some cases, we just flat out want to show off. In my early years, I remember picking out […]
Here is a new free 15-minute arrangement for you: This is pretty easy and I don’t have a lot to say about it. Hope you enjoy. Here is the demo video. If you don’t see a video below, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jjoTDm8Gv4
As of next week, I am going to be a college student again. I signed up for one class (an advanced harmony class) at Berklee College of Music. I don’t know where it will lead but I chose to take it for credit so if I decide to pursue a degree, it will be a start down […]
Happy Friday. Here is a full song (“What a Wonderful World”) off my new CD Lovenotes. If you don’t see the video below, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhA7pT63Fw4 Some of you might wonder why I am not giving this CD away as a free download like I did with Heirloom. The reason why has to do with the […]
Note: Over the next few months, I am reposting lessons from the past that I think are important. This is one of them. If someone asks me to critique their church music improvisation, there are certain things I tend to watch for. One of them happens to be what they to do with their left […]
Here is a new free arrangement for you: This is an easy 15-minute arrangement. When I was recording it last night, it struck me how it can be very challenging to play simple music like this in a way that will touch people. Nuance is everything. Here is the video of me playing it. If […]
I am pleased to finally be able to say that Lovenotes is available for purchase. At the moment, it is available for download only and only at this site but soon will be available at iTunes and the various other outlets. This project probably belongs to the smooth jazz genre. It is very laid back with […]
Yesterday, I went to the theater to see the newest Kendrick brothers movie War Room. The Kendrick brothers are formerly the brains behind Sherwood Pictures with its hits in evangelical circles including Fireproof and Facing the Giants. War Room was released by TriStar Pictures (a division of Sony) rather than Sherwood Pictures. In other words, the Kendrick brothers […]
NOTE: This a repost of an article I wrote in the past that I think is important. I am regurgitating some old articles this summer. If you missed yesterday’s post, I started talking about the turnaround. A turnaround is a sequence of chords that are used at the end of a section that fill up […]
Here is a new arrangement for you: I would classify this arrangement as early advanced. It is not the easiest thing I have ever written for sure. There is some advanced harmony and some very thick chords that many of you will not naturally find with your fingers. Here is the video of me playing […]
