A printable transcription (pdf file) is on my DVD – details on the website.
Introducing a series of tutorials to teach you guys how to play by ear, improv, and many other techniques I like to use. Your piano experience does not have to be classical, just note names and hands together playing. 
I really encourage any piano player who is a fan of my Iwillbot account to learn these!!! Why would I want to learn this? You won’t need sheet music for most nonclassical music. You will never have to worry about memorizing music. Improv is impressive, fun, and ORIGINAL from you.

Embraceable You – jazz piano lesson. This is an enhanced version of the original video posted here on Youtube. Now that I can upload High Definition videos, it is worth upgrading some of my earlier videos that have had lots of hits, with added notation, and clear views of the keyboard. Herbie Hancock does a great solo version of this on his (fairly) recent ‘Gershwin’s World’ album. This is a very simple play through ( 3 times) which should be fairly easy to play. The printable transcription is on my DVD – www.bushgrafts.com – (over 120 printable transcriptions of these videos and more than 9 hours of high quality video for !)

Two For The Road You will definitely need to watch in high quality mode to read the notation and comments au.youtube.com or better still, download the exceelent quality version at www.bushgrafts.com . This is my most ambitious tutorial – in fact I think that I tried to crowd too much into it. Unfortunately, the annotations are small and very diificult to read. The best solution is to download (free) the version at http If this file is too big (nearly 50 Mb), you might consider my DVD (details on the website) which has over 10 hours of instructional video, nearly 180 full transcriptions, backing tracks, 300 or so annotated jazz midi files. With this in your computer’s DVD/CD drive, all of these are instantly available.

‘Mood Indigo’ (Ellington)Solo Jazz piano lesson (HD). Still experimenting with HD so I decided to upload this even though I was not all that pleased with my playing on this!
