Sound great on your piano playing one of the all time finest American songs. Summertime vies with the Beatles'
"Yesterday" as one of the most popular cover songs in music, with an estimated 2,500 different versions
recorded. Both Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra both recorded versions of Summertime as well as Ella Fitzgerald
and Louis Armstrong who did a duet of the song. Both the great Miles Davis and John Coltrane recorded their
interpretations.
NOW, you can learn to play a great jazz arrangement of this American classic on the piano with the latest Play
Like Me video DVD package.
This package includes over 2 hours of video DVD lessons in 4 levels along with a lesson guide and all lead
sheets for the arrangements.
In the first Level you'll learn all of the basic chords and an easy to learn simplified version of the melody to the
song.
Then in Level 2 you're introduced to a variety of added tones such as 9ths, flatted 9ths (b9), and flatted 5ths
(b5).
In Level 3, you'll cover advanced chord voicings including added-tones such as the 13th, #11, flat-13th, and 6th.
In addition, you'll also learn about the tri-tone substitution and a variety of passing chords.
Finally in Level 4, you'll cover some common performance techniques used by jazz pianists to embellish the song
and improvise. You'll also learn some ways to vary the left-hand accompaniment such as "broken" 10ths and
closed position chords with a modern "stride" technique. Finally, we show you how to let loose with some free
improvisation based on the alternate chord changes in Level 3.
Order it now for only $21.95 + 5.95 S&H.
