60 Top Hat Piano Grooves Vol.1

Learn Rock & Pop, Jazz, Blues & Gospel, Latin and Contemporary grooves and how to create them for any song you want to play

All the grooves in this course are based on just a few concepts and often-used techniques, which are used repeatedly throughout.

Articulations, accents, shuffle, swing or even eighths: These concepts are probably the most important when comping. Rhythm is not only determined by where you place the notes, but by "how" you place them. We will use accents, staccatos, portatos (long and short notes) slurs, legato, ghost notes and other kind of articulations to obtain the groove we want.

Are you ready? Here you have 60 lessons for the price of half of one.
Let's go, take your piano playing to the next level.
