Let me go back and take a look/final review and I'll put the updated version up somewhere.

Have been going through all your posts and listening to everything you have here! You don't happen to have an updated score of this do you? I'm sure all of us would want to have a copy of it. Really want to get our playing as close to your video as possible=) Really cool stuff! Bert Hey Jonathon,

Google translate tells me that his post effectively says: "Where are you from? Familiar style of writing" Not sure whether he's talking to you or me - :) In answer to your question: The music for this sheet is only loosely connected with what I actually played in the video. Don't take it too literally. When I did the videos, I more or less improvised, then went back later and quickly wrote down something similar to what I played. There are many differences.

I'm studying this very closely and found something that bothers me. If you could comment on this I would appriciate it. On lesson 6 (Stab breaks) you play an example really slowly so it gave me opportunity to compare it to notation and I have some doubts. It doesn't concern stab breaks infact. In a first measure second note (A) in a bass clef has a dot on notation so it should be short and in your example it sounds untill left hand goes to C and when you hit C you still keep A pressed. Then you play F and A with your right hand which is a quarter note in notation and it should still sound when right hand plays Bb but you play it differently. I'm beginner so there is huge possiblity that my comment is quite stupid. Please correct me If you have a moment This stuff is great.
