I believe that every inspiration, every good idea, every cool thought, every insight into theory, every beautiful piece of music, every great performance, every successful recording, all my gifts of soul and all my temporal goods to enable me to share these gifts with the world have been offered to me and placed in me by a loving, omnipotent, all powerful and Triune God.
While I may not state this in every video I place on RU-vid or every piece of music I place on my website, I believe with all my heart and moreover, I know this to be true. I also believe it to be true about each and every individual on the planet, whether we admit it, acknowledge it or accept it.
YES! Absolutely!!! Check out these two videos in particular for more on that idea! How to Play the Blues When You Don't Have Them 15A: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-asyTX9mgruM.html How to Play the Blues... 15B: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A1QBaOdH2jk.html
My apologies! I do not teach how to play bebop. I teach the core concepts as needed for improvisation but that is not a specific style that I teach. Fortunately there are many great videos out there on bebop and many great teachers. Check out my video here titled "Winter With Charlie Parker: Songs from the Omnibook" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BAFsbz58a6U.html and read the description for my angle on that style. Keep studying and keep playing!😀

From one who learned the Maple Leaf Rag 50 years ago when I was 18 … Wonderful performance, great balance between left and right hands, articulation of individual notes is clear. Tempo is steady and not too fast as encouraged the composer. I enjoyed listening to it. Bravo!
Wow! I am so glad that you enjoyed listening to this version! Thank you so much for taking the time to offer such a detailed comment and especially for taking the time to listen!
The term is Godhead. "Trinity" is not in Scripture, and the teaching of the trinity is not coꝛrect and actually is pagan in oꝛigin. The Godhead is 3 in one, yes, but not thꝛee perſons. God is one, and 1 perſon. The Father is the ſoule of the Godhead, the Woꝛd/Sonne is the phyſical body of the Godhead, and the Holy Ghoſt is the ſpirit of the Godhead. The thꝛee are the ſame being and ſame perſon. 1 Coꝛinthians 8:6 maketh it clear, there is only one God, the Father, and we know that Ieſus is God. If there is only one God who is called as the Father, and Ieſus is God, therefoꝛe Ieſus is the Father. At leaſt to the degree of them being the ſame being and perſon, though there is diſtinction between the two as body and ſoule. 1 Coꝛinthians 8:6 alſo ſaith that there is one Loꝛd, Ieſus Chꝛiſt. And yet we ſee in the Old Teſtament that the Father is called Loꝛd and LORD. There is one God and one Loꝛd. and they are the ſame perſon and the ſame God and ſame Loꝛd. As it is wꝛitten, Ieſus is the expꝛeſſe image of the Father's perſon (Heb 1:3 KJV). Ieſus is the the reuealed image of the inuiſible God. The Father is alſo clearly reuealed as the ſoule of the Godhead in ſeuerall places, but one notable one is the croſſe refence between Iſaiah 42:1 KJV and Matthew 3:17 KJV. Ieſus and the Father and the Holy Ghoſt are 3 "parts" of one being and each of them are fully God, iuſt as thy ſoule is fully thee, and thy body is alſo fully thee, and thy ſpirit alſo. But one perſon, that is key. The 3 perſons bit is from paganiſm and Catholicism. Euen in Scripture the woꝛſhippers of Baal called Baal their gods, plural. They had one image, one god, that they referred to as gods, plural. Euen in Geneſis, God ſaith let vs, make man in our image. Vs is plural, but image is ſingular. The parts of the Godhead ſpeak one to another as doth our bodies ſpeak with our ſouls and ſpirits. All thꝛee communicate with each other, and each can know things the others do not. As in thy ſoule can know ſomething that thy body doth not, as how Ieſus knew not the day oꝛ hour of the comming of the Son of man but onely his Father. Yet both Father and Sonne are the ſame perſon and God. The trinity is really quite harmful of a teaching, as it leadeth to a plurality of gods no matter how much one trieth to inſiſt otherwiſe. There ineuitablly ariſeth confuſion when pꝛaying as to who of the 3 one ſhould be pꝛaying to at any giuen moment, leading to double mindedneſſe in pꝛaying. It alſo maketh the Loꝛd of gloꝛie into the "ſecond member of the trinity", when he is no leſſe than the liuing God manifeſt in the fleſh. And frankly the trinity is not taught in Scripture. In terms of the tie in with the triads in muſicke, there are ſome very very looſe connections there with with ſeuen diatonic notes and triads being ſtable and pleaſing. I think there is ſomething there with the 7 ſpirits of God and the 7 natural diatonic notes. But to call the tonic of a key, the Father is very bad. Foꝛ if one changeth keys, one changeth thy God. It is bad. Thou alſo didſt claim in the video that the leading tone is the Holy Ghoſt, but then later thou ſaidſt F was the Holy Ghoſt. Then what of the other note in the ſcale? We ſhould be very careful to teach ſuch things as doctrine, eſpecially when it is not taught in Scripture and it is baſed on the trinity which is a falſe and Satanic teaching. The Goſpel that ſaueth and how to be ſaued accoꝛding to the woꝛd of God : "1 MOꝛeouer bꝛethꝛen , I declare vnto you the Goſpel which I pꝛeached vnto you, which alſo you haue receiued,and wherein yee ſtand. 2 By which also yee are ſaued , if yee keepe in memoꝛie what I pꝛeached vnto you , vnleſſe yee haue beleeued in vaine. 3 Foꝛ I deliuered vnto you firſt of all , that which I alſo receiued , how that Chꝛiſt died for our ſinnes accoꝛding to the Scriptures : 4 And that he was buried,and that he roſe againe the third day accoꝛding to the Scriptures." - 1 Coꝛinthians 15:1-4 Holy Bible 1611 "9 That if thou ſhalt confeſſe with thy mouth the Loꝛd Ieſus , and ſhalt beleeue in thine heart , that God hath raiſed him from the dead , thou ſhalt be ſaued. 10 Foꝛ with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteouſneſſe,and with the mouth confeſſion is made vnto ſaluation. 11 Foꝛ the Scripture ſaith, Whoſoeuer beleeueth on him , ſhall not bee aſhamed. 12 Foꝛ there is no difference betweene the Iew and the Greeke : foꝛ the ſame Loꝛd ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call vpon him. 13 Foꝛ whoſoeuer ſhall call vpon the Name of the Loꝛd,ſhall be ſaued." - Romanes 10:9-13 Holy Bible 1611
HEY! God bless you for sharing your faith with me! The word Trinity is not used in scripture - that much is true. That is not proof that there is not a Holy Trinity. That only shows that this name for the Triune God came into proper use later than the codification of the books chosen to comprise sacred scripture did. Scripture is laden with examples and statements that show us there is One God - who is 3 distinct persons in this Oneness. We now call this the Holy Trinity and there is nothing pagan about that or worshiping Him as such. When I pray to the Father I am praying to God. When I pray to Jesus I am praying to God. When I pray to the Holy Spirit I am praying to God. I am aware in each case that I am addressing the One God yet there are three distinct persons in this God. That is shown in scripture and in all Christian religions. Here are some scripture examples that might help you see as I do: John 12:28 (Direct exchange between the Father and the Son - two distinct persons - One in being - I urge you to check this out - so beautiful!). Matthew 3:17 - The Father speaks from Heaven about His beloved Son as Jesus is about to be Baptized. Check it out! So beautiful! John 1:33-34 I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the holy Spirit. Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.” (Father spoke - Son acted - and brought forth The Spirit! So beautiful!) John was not told this by a man. He was told this by God. God was speaking to John (of course) about Jesus - and the Spirit of Truth - when He spoke of this event which John was to witness. Later in John Chapter 14 Jesus Himself states clearly - 1 - “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. (This is a clear reference that the Father and the Son - Jesus are two distinct persons). 2 - In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.” This is a clear reference that the Father - and the Son - Jesus - are two distinct persons - of course they are One in being and I state that in my video - The Father and I are One. John 10:30. Last - although not the last example you can discover in scripture - Jesus states before He ascends into heaven - “But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7. As Christians we know this Advocate to be the third person of the Holy Trinity - The Holy Spirit. I do not know what religion you belong to but I would never disagree or argue with a persons faith or belief system so please do not anticipate a challenge or an argument from me. I am a Catholic. I have reiterated my own personal beliefs here for you but I do not present them as argument. I present them as truth. Not my truth. Divine Truth. My sharing here is based on that truth as revealed by God both in Scripture and tradition. There are of course my own personal encounters with the Triune God which form my soul and inform my teaching so I will not recant or revise my beliefs. Thank you so much for your comment and for being so civil in sharing your beliefs. I hope you will pray for me as I will continue to pray for you!
Hey Mark! Thanks for the tutorial, and also for sharing your story. I've recently gotten into Woogie Boogie and absolutely love it. There's something about it that just brings happiness. Mastering any type of playing is tough but rewarding. Really appreciate your insights and guidance! Cheers
