Please note:
1. Most of these videos have now been posted on YouTube, but the associated midi files and leadsheets are not available there. The videos on youtube are lower in quality
2. My DVD will no longer hold all of the videos I have done, so is no longer available for sale. A better option is the digital disk image option.
Tip: If you play the videos from the DVD on Windows Media Player, hitting ‘Ctrl/Shift/S’ will slow the video down enough to read the text and see the notes that are being played. ‘Ctrl/Shift/N’ will return the speed to normal – this won’t work if you ‘stream’ the videos here, but you can also do this if you download them fully before playing.
