Pop & Contemporary Piano Accompaniment: Popstinatos

So much magical stuff to be had here. Obviously the content of the music applied to the song patterns but also in so many other ways. For me it’s the beautiful torture of flexing arthritic hands along with an arthritic brain. It really does push you trying to make order of it all. Enjoying the mental and physical demands and just simply loving the sound sensation. Thanks as always Jonny 🥰

Easy to improv and very impressive

There are a number of songs that my band plays that I previously found somewhat monotonous, as I was only playing the chords, maybe some inversions and a few broken chords, but basically making it up as I went along. That was ok but began to get boring before too long. I felt like my piano parts weren't adding much to the songs. Well I worked these Popstinatos into the tunes and now it's like playing a whole different song. The piano part is now adding melodic phrases and color that the ear can pick out over the guitar and bass, and the possibilities are endless. I've added them to one song so far and it's been transformative. I plan to incorporate them into several others. One more thing -- this is the first time I've ever seen anyone teach extensively about tools and methods to use with Pop music, which is mostly what I play. So far the accompaniment methods and Popstinatos have unlocked many possibilities for me. Keep it coming Jonny!

This course really made a difference for me. Very cool!

A lot of required practices to self for learning and improvement.
