Hi All!

How’s everybody doing?

First of all: Thanks so much for all the kind, sweet, supporting, enthusiastic and positive responses that I received on last weeks, first V-log try! Success. 🙂

Therefore, hereby my second try (taken into account all the feedback I got, hopefully already a little better than the first one, like to see something different? Leave a comment!).

Last request before starting with the actual lesson: PLEASE everybody, in stead of mailing me (don’t get me wrong, I appreciate every email I receive and will of course continue to get back to every one of them), try to LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW THE POSTS, so everybody can join/read/get involved and most of all: benefit. Your problem/question, and the answer to it, could help many others as well.

Ok then, on to the lesson.

Lesson: How to add flair to your chord-knowledge and sound like a pro. 

What’s in the video:

• A quick reference to this weeks tutorial video song, WHICH WILL BE UPLOADED AND ARIVE ONLINE THIS WEDNESDAY (Feb 27 2013). If you want to learn that actual song, STAY TUNED*.
• Harmony / melody and it’s functions.
• Explanation and example that ‘just’ playing chords, without adding any rhythm can also already be quite cool.
• A short explanation / summary of basic rhythm.
• How this translates into (a) pattern(s).
• A very simple, basic pattern that, when executed in the right way can make a TON of difference.
• Adding dynamics (and what a HUGE difference this makes).
• Adding even more tiny accents in time, that really make you sound like a pro.

Please remember that everything mentioned in the video, is explained in much greater detail and logical order/steps (beginner – more and more advanced in logical steps) in the course. If you really want to get into the basics of Pop-Piano and learn how to understand everything, you might want to consider going for it.

*To give you the time to actually watch, do and learn from every one of these video’s, from now on I’ll stop ‘flooding’ you with 2 video’s at once (so that experiment lasted exactly one whole week 😉 ) and in stead, split it up to 1 video in the weekend, and another one in the middle of the week.
To prevent your actual inbox from ‘flooding’ I decided that it would be best to keep the frequency of the newsletter to 1 a week.

If however, you ARE interested in receiving TWO newsletters a week with two different video’s (one in the weekend, one around Wednesday), please let me know (in the comments or via email). If enough people are interested I could make a second mailing list.

Have fun and happy playing!

Cheers, Coen.
