      Jonny. Thank you! As a singer that loves jazz, and with some skills on keys, you have wonderfully illustrated some useful tips that have made me actually sound cooler trying to play jazz piano. By the way, in some study a while back, I believe the gospel scale appears to be the Blues scale. Again, loved this.

      @@jamesrussell5196 - hahaha. My comment was meant to be a bit humorous, but true nonetheless.
      I’m 73 years old, and when I took up sax at age 13, in my town there were only 2 nearby teachers. They both taught classical-oriented music right out of the book. Etude #3... study #7 by Chopin... Concerto #3 by Debussy, etc. So sax players were basically playing classical clarinet music.
      We had no access to these lessons 50-60 years ago. That was my point.

    Jonny, Wow! I've been fooling around with the keys for years and could play a few songs with cords but in just 24 hours I am making music. What a rush..... My hands are too stiff to play the guitar these days so this is a real treat to be able to make music again. I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. What a wonderful Christmas gift.
