Solfegietto tab + "grimebreath" mp3
This latest video (https://youtu.be/55ZVFNUe8iU) kicked off with a truncated version of C.P.E. Bach's "Solfegietto". It's a killer piece that I learned many years ago but struggle to keep up with as it progresses. Maybe one day I'll revisit it to master the difficult sections tha...

Today I'm uploading a totally different kind of video. It's a deep dive into the chords of a hugely successful ballad. The chords will be walked through during the video but I figured some of you may want to try things away from your PC or phone, so here's a PDF and MuseScore file.The ac...

I like this process- but I do worry about the time in between videos, so Im hoping that I can still provide you all with some great info and lessons without lo...

PDF for new video on Secondary Dominant Chords
This is my favorite kind of lesson to teach and my least favorite to edit.

Sneak Peak! Unused Footage! Morpheus!
Okay I went off the deep end and made this as the intro, but I've decided for several reasons not to use it, at least in full. Partly in terror of the copyright bots (even tho the audio is all me) but also cause it's a slow intro and i MIGHT be able to shoe-horn in a part of this in the midd...

The difference it makes
Today I took an eye exam that revealed a corneal ulcer. Medication was prescribed, and I'm a week away from healing up. The only reason I decided to pay for an exam instead of trooping it out (thought it was just a scratch or something benign) is because I had some extra money in my checking acc...

Someone on reddit asked about the rhythms going on at 6:58 in this songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc9mfvBZxdQ&feature=youtu.be&t=6m58sIt was weird enough to try and figure out and it's hilariously crafted, I'd like you to try figuring it out on your own before you see my best guess.Afte...
