    Get well soon, chris. The lessons are awesome!

    Thanks so much John!
    I’m taking time off work to recover and things are lookin good!!!
    Post comments letting me know what you’d like to learn.

    Specific songs requests are hard to do because then I have to learn them (so that takes longer)
    but if you want to learn how to play a certain chord or make something sound bigger or play a certain style
    those kind of requests are much easier!

    Keep practicing

    I love the lessons. I wanted to know if you could give a small tutorial on the song Chestnuts Rosging on an open Fire. Or maybe the chords used while you were playing.

    Hi Everett!
    Good request! I’ll start talking about chords in upcoming lessons.
    Its not even christmas though?!

    A book I highly recommend is learn jazz piano by mark levine.
    That taught me everything I know about chords.

    Thanks!

    i want to learn how to do advance fingering position. so i can moves across the piano fast. i dont want to get use to coming up with my own way. so im asking can u make a video showing advance fingering. that’s my biggest problem

15. Chris Marx on August 3rd, 2009

    Hi Devonte,

    I really recommend playing scales then, maybe some hannon exercises.

    They will teach you everything you need to know about fingering.

    Start with the major scales then try the blues scales.

    Thanks,
    Chris Marx
