Ricky Draper - "God Want's a Yes" Improv (John Peters Reharmonization) 

Thank God for the Internet. Otherwise, the world would have never heard of Ricky Drapper. Great harmonics!

I hope your still playing. This has always been one of my favorite piano pieces especially in gospel music…much love and respect.

yes it is James Hall... its a reharmonization of "God Want's a Yes" arranged by John Peters, check out his "Piano Toolbox DVD"... thats where i got it from

crazy that people are reharmonizing james hall songs. Excellent playing, man.

I am delighted. Thanks for that fine music.

Hi I'm from Brazil ... and I love your line of reasoning .. I even wonder if you're human .... or a being from another world .... May God bless Rycky .. Congratulations ...

Now this is what I have to work on. I love how you glide through chord changes seemingly without effort (although being a pianist/organist I know there's effort involved).

AWESOME DOC!!! (I wish my parents had the money to give me piano lessons...it would have paid off by now just as you!) -Bigger Blessings for you doc! Hay Rick try to meet me at Rev. Dewey Smith's big music conference this coming July in De. GA! This is were Kevin Bond is now! It's going to be awesome dude!

WOW!!!!

very very nice...

dope!!!!

oh, fantastic!

good, very good

yea!!!

true... gospel guys like flat keys, mainly Bb, Eb, Ab, Db maj pentatonic scales since the crossover is much easier! but i guess its easier for cats to visualize the Gb pent since it is all black

We need breakdown!

Who wants another from God? If His YES is not Kingdom's resourses but just letters and words, then how to say YES to Him with knowing John 10:36?

Dude!! you sound just like John Peters!!!! How long did it take you to learn his style?

Ric, What kind of overhead video set up do you have there? -Thanks 'EB'

Instead Of him being "Dat n*gga" I think Blessed And Highly Favored is appropriate; Keep doing your thing Rick.... Representin the Boot (aka) Louisiana

That's it. Yes!

if you noticed, most gospel pianist like to stay around the Gb pentatonic scale...usually....that's what i've noticed...

you said that the chords for this song is on your website i can not find it

WHAT UP RICK?!?!??!?!.......MI DUDE

Has anybody heard of Calil West?

Breakdown! Breakdown! Breakdown!

I can't take it either!

Then go listen to the James Hall CD.

The song itself, is in F Sharp!

yea.. Homeboy is NICE!!!!!

Great Ricky ;) It seems you like Petrucciani a lot. Don't you?

what kind of keyboard is this?

just stop playing!! I can't take it!! Okay, keep playing :)

Tatum or Garner didn't need lessons; there's no substitute for desire.

No it's not the matter of being formal my dude, just think of it as this; we don't know who these people are behind these comments. Had it been White person, sayin' that NIGGA'(even though I'm sure it wasn't)we all would have a different discussion goin on right now. So let's just keep it real and move on. Besides My boy Rick is doin' some amazing work for the lord. We need to treat him as Royalty....We all Royalty whether you wanna accept it or not.

i posted my transcription of this tune on my website... rickydraper.com/transcriptions/JohnPetersGodWantsAYes.pdf

dammmn boi i wish i was half u

This is when u were 12? Haha i give up doc

This is way too abstract for me. But it is so pretty, but please just keep it straight. Sounds nothing like the way James Hall wrote it!
