Hey James - thank you, but I don't' know if I can do an hour of the great Floyd Cramer's repertoire! Here's two for you though... th-cam.com/video/WGqtRLtO3-4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/LIzQrReJjdo/w-d-xo.html
So even though it shows 2 or even 3 slip notes, Is it normal to just pick one? So far I’ve just been picking out which ever sounds the best to me, not really knowing what I’m doing as far as slip notes. I wish the piano books would explain things like this, whenever there is something special in the book.
Hey Garrett. The middle slip note seems to be the most common (in songs like Last Date). And yes, as an improvising pianist, go with sounds best to you AND what works best for the song melody, fill, or solo. Keep in mind you are not limited to slipping just the middle note of a chord. Top and bottom slip notes will give you more melodic options.
Hey Bugman - yes it is! The move is sometimes called a 'pedal'. Floyd Cramer called it a slip note - and he was the first to popularize the technique on piano.
PERFECT! Thank you so much! That’s all I needed, and I didn’t have to plow through a 15-minute tutorial to find the gem. 😀
Hey JayKay, great to hear - Thank You. And yeah, I'm with you on that (getting to the point as fast as possible). More quick lessons coming!
Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you :)
watched 3 videos and still didnt see how it was done . watched yours and perfect in 1 minute !
Thank you Sargent Pepper - I'm happy to hear this. More piano tutorials coming!
How about do an hour of Floyd Cramer type stuff
I guess hear it a lot in "It was what it was" - is there a tutorial for this song or just a video of you playing it? Would love to learn it)
Hi Maria - as of now, I have no tutorials/lessons - but I'm workin' on some. Stay tuned!
@@chrisnolemusic good news, looking forward for it) anyway, next time you play this song don’t forget to switch the camera on 😁😉
I think it would make for an entertaining video, and some other commenters are correct like an hour long video of you playing Floyd Cramer

Is this not a pedal steel on piano ???

pretty much!
