But then, in the third part, bar 25, you do something really tricky (which gets even more tricky because of the bass key). I really tried, but couldn't figure it out (same for my dad, but he's just too old ;)). When do you plan to have this groove cut into pieces?

Things are coming along. Stay tuned, lots of background work happening, but pretty soon, things will start showing up on the site. @Edo -- MIDI files will be coming soon with new videos - Thanks for the nice comments, Debra!

I have been teaching myself the piano for about two years now and so find tutorials like yours very useful. I can play most of the separate had parts fine on their own and some together although I struggle to get them to sound like your playing. I know you are in the process of making tutorials for your 'funk groove in G' (which I like very much) but hope that you make some for this 'funk groove in F' as well because it is even better I think. Thanks again, Daniel Hello Jonathon,

Welcome! and thank you for your excellent questions. I think many people are looking for just what you are: being able to sit at an instrument (maybe piano) and play for fun without needing music. To do it purely for the enjoyment of doing it. It's an important question, and I can't answer it in a comment, so I'm off to write a full post on the topic. Give me a couple days to collect my thoughts into something that doesn't sound like a crazed wandering vagrant spouting about nothing... Great question! Paul!

Simple question (or maybe not).. but I can read music and play about anything with enough practice and I pretty much burnt myself out on that when i was younger. Your post where you are showing off the hand held recorder and just doing improv.. thats what I have long been determined to do. I just want to sit down and PLAY. How would you personally recommend going about this? Diving into theory? (I just bought the Jazz Book by Mark Levine) or just playing different tunes, getting comfortable with every key? I know its a combination of alot of things, but I was just wondering what your opinion is since you've accomplished this already. Anyway, I love the site, I'll be back all the time! Keep playing :) Jonathan,
