Hi I watch your Chanel as someone fairly new to jazz and was wondering what software and pen you are using for the illustrations. Cheers

Would you do anything different if you play rootless with the left hand?

[@JeremySiskind]

If I’m playing rootless Voicings with the left hand, I assume there’s a bass player playing the roots, so nothing would really change about the improvisation,

[@bethanylowe8773]

Ahh this is a great way to move forward from the 3579s in your book! Also I basically came here from the thumbnail to say that's a really cool shirt. No magic word today so: nectarine? umbrella?

[@JeremySiskind]

It was umbrella! How did you know without me even saying? 😉 ☔️

[@AudiR8_lol]

What app are you using to write sheet music in this video?)

[@JeremySiskind]

Forscore

[@thekeyoflifepiano]

Can you do a tutorial with Stevie Wonder's music?

[@JeremySiskind]

Maybe! I'm a huge Stevie fan, but I'm not sure what I'd have to say. Let em kthink about it!

[@alexex5513]

This guy reveals his true self and doesn’t even know it

[@JeremySiskind]

I think I know it? but maybe not 😂
