Very inspiring lesson there from the great Jon Cleary! Thank you!
Hi Rich,
Yes there are lots of wonderful insights and demonstrations in this workshop. Inspiring as usual!
I have just added the final edited version of the video. There was a MIDI recording issue at the start of the seminar, and so the light-up keyboard notes do not show for the first 6 minutes. Apologies for that. After the 6 minute mark the light-up keyboard is in sync with Jon’s playing.
I have straightened the overhead camera, improved the mic and piano audio levels throughout, layered in the light-up keyboard, and added chapter markings to better review that material.
Jon will be hosting his next workshop in July.
Talk soon my friend!
Cheers,
Hayden
Amazing thanks Hayden and yes look forward to the next one in July!
Love this history of how the music evolved!
