great lesson on swing hit beats and everything.

Yeah I will definitely get to those topics.

I took a voicing like LH - F Ab C Eb ------ RH - Ab C Eb G and moved it around to different notes, but I kept my hands exactly the same.
Try taking that voicing and bringing every note a half step down (F# A C# E RH - A C# E G#), and keep doing that. It'll create the same kind of sound.

Hey thanks for doing this man. I was wondering if you could teach us how to combine different chords together and soloing in other keys. Could you teach us about keys and how chords are related and what progressions to use? thanks buddy

[@mmeronek]

Whoops I brought it a half step up in that example. Actually, whether you go up or down, it'll give you the same sort of sound.
