I Will Practice Day in, Day Out Just to Play This As Effortlessly As He Made It Seem!

Great lesson! I’ve been playing for almost two years but have a long way to go. I’m writing my own music & performing. This is a great lesson. I don’t play gospel but love learning about the 14736251 progression. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Erskine do you think this course would be ok for a beginner. I don’t know much at all. I have stolen some tips from Pianote videos, but I find reading notation very hard. Thanks for posting this I would love to play in this style.

Hello, I'm a total beginner and I noticed there are some keys on some pieces that are physically impossible for me to reach. Should I use my other hand or any recommendations?

[thomasward]

This was awesome! What is the guys name?

[ImpliedMusic]

my teacher used to call this the "harmonic highway"

[edaten]

Why does the iii change from minor to dominant when we add the seventh? Aka, why is the third a g# instead of a g?

[tisheetee]

Wait I don't understand the suspended chord? Or different types of 7ths?
