Funk Rhodes Piano Groove: Tune 88

[UPDATE] Here’s a first cut at the requested MIDI file for this tune. I’ve not made one of these before (sheepish grin), so please comment. Is this what you’re looking for? Changes?

Hey, hey, hey! (spoken in my best “Fat Albert” voice)

I’m so excited about the new funk piano videos I’m working on! I’m to the point where music is written and most of the arrangements are in good shape, so I’m just about to start shooting. It’s been a while and I’ve forgotten how much work goes into getting the full tutorial series together. Writing, arranging, putting together sheet music and MIDI files (yes, the new series’ will have MIDI files so that you can download for practicing), not to mention shooting and editing.

At any rate, I needed a quick break from all that, just to play a little music, so I put together this cover of one of the very first funk piano tunes I learned: “Tune 88″ by Jeff Lorber.

Keep an eye on the site, because there will be a ton of new stuff and some big announcements coming soon. As they say on the hold lines: “your patience is appreciated.”
