Things are about to get crazy!
Wow! It’s been a long time!
No, wait. It’s been a ridiculously long time!
However, I’m now devoting a significant amount of my free time to getting a ton of new stuff ready, so hang in there. Exciting things are coming soon! We decided not to move, so at the moment, we’re still settled in good old Austin, Texas, and I’m making the time to put together some fresh stuff.
Here’s a quick little jam I threw together the other night to tide you over…
Stay tuned!

Hi Jonathon, it’s so good to hear from you! I’m looking forward to seeing the new stuff. Congratulations for this last slow funk piano improvisation, it’s impressive as usual.
Wish you and your family all the best!

So good to see you again! So tasty to hear you again! WOW!
I’m the happiest french of the moment^^.
By the way, thank you for putting the sheet of groove in g online. I made an arrangement of it with my saxophonist partner. I’m not able to tell you when I’ll can record it (because no one of us have an approximately adequate recorder), but I’m sure that you’ll love it! You can contact me on youtube or on Skyblog: my pseudo is Jazz-damage for both.^^
Wish you good luck for the new stuff!
regards

Hey Jonathon! you’re a very talented pianist! unique piano-playing style!

Jonathan,
Love your videos !. When i first seen them on youtube (how to play a funk groove) i noticed it was hard to find the order in which they were to be followed.
Anyways, i used to run darkcognitive.com, which i featured your videos on. This site however is now changing to How2Play.org, which is a similar music lessons site.
I have a few questions to ask you, i couldn’t find your e-mail address anywhere so could you please e-mail me at:
chrisdark@darkcognitive.com
Regards,
Chris Dark.
Ps. Keep up the good work, your video tuts are some of the best ive seen for jazz/funk piano!

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks so much for your piano lesson videos!
You’re a legend!
And loved your funk playing, would be cool to hear more of your stuff.
I have a request… Could you create some left hand stuff to accompany the licks for blues (and funk)?
I guess it would be a walking bass line, like the backing track?
Thanks again.

Hello andrew, why not use a standard and easy bassline like C E G Bb, F A C Eb and so on… ?
You could also use the bassline used in the background music of the 30 blues licks, but much harder i think =)
31. January 2010 at 12:41
I have forgot a A in the first bassline, and a D ^^
So : C E G A Bb, F A C D Eb =)

Hi jonathon
Love your grooves — you make it look so effortless! Thanks for giving us so much great music and tuition.
I’m curious about the recording device you put behind the piano at the start of this track. Is that some sort of digital recorder with built-in mike? Are you able to tell me what the brand/model are please — looks like a neat little device.
Thanks again!
cheers

Hey Jim -
That recorder is a “Zoom H4″ digital recorder. It’s really cool and makes really nice recordings. I think you can pick them up for around $300, but I got mine a number of years ago and there are probably newer better options to choose from now. I really like it — but I will say that if you’re not using the built-in mics, the external mic signal path is noisy, almost to the point of not being able to use them.

Hello Jonathon !
I just love your music, tutorials and everything you share with us.
Could you please write down the music notes for this “jam” and make it available as a PDF. I would really like to try learning this song.
