Learn Burt Bacarach’s beautiful song Alfie. In this lesson, I will break down the piano arrangement note-for-note. We will only be learning the song in the lesson, no improvisation. There will also be little explanation of how the arrangement was created. The goal is to just learn the song note for note. The skill level needed in order to play Alfie would be intermediate to professional level. It’s pretty intense with a lot of notes in it.

In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to come up with cool, funky and interesting chord progressions on the spot. We're not going to be using traditional chord progressions, so these chords will add a very unique flavor to your playing.

In this lesson we will cover gospel piano basis that we will expand upon and use as a foundation for future lessons. These important ~tricks~ come in handy in many different styles of music. Broken apart like this, these ideas will be easier for you to incorporate into your own arrangements and use them as a springboard for your own music or improvisation.

In this second volume we are going to learn about different "clustering" techniques which will help you create more progressions and change the progressions you use now. You will also learn a cool jazz/gospel progression along with improvisation tips.

A question I get asked a lot is “How do you create an arrangement for a song?” Or, “How do I ‘modernize’ this song and give it new life?” In this lesson I am going to share with you some of the techniques that I use to create arrangements and “contemporize” a song. Some of these techniques are common, yet some are ones that I have come across over the years and developed my own personal style. We will use the song "Wade in The Water" as an example.

In this lesson, I will show you some tricks on how to add flavor to your arrangement through passing chords, walk ups and transition chords.

Learn how to improvise and create chord progressions. Several common progressions are discussed along with a lot of in-depth theory. Great lesson on creating a modern piano sound.

This is the place to start if you want to learn the basics of Blues & Boogie piano playing. I'll teach you the "basic" shuffle groove and show you some licks to play over it. You'll also learn about sliding and crushing notes. Neighbor chords and suspensions.
