At 8:44 it looked like you might need some Senokot. I only mention it because the video was great and I don't want the constipation to stop you from playing (although it doesn't seem to impede your playing)...........I think I did hear someone say "When it comes to playing an instrument well you got to get the sh%t lockdown."..........so thanks for the upload.

add some reverb, check the velocity settings of your midi controller or keyboard, practice slowly and calmly and you can do it too :P It'll sound a lot better as you practice, but a good word of advice is to practice without effects (to train pitch and spot inconsistencies/mistakes easier)

I got so tired of the same diatonic chords I was playing. I play stacked chords all the time, but it's all improv and my brain seems to just want to play uninteresting sounding extended major harmonies; sometimes I add a note that changes it up, but then I can't recreate it. It's fun, but the structure isn't what I'm looking for, and it's frustrating when I can't hit the same "cool" chords consistently.. This video helped me so much and it literally changed my harmonic progressions. Practice makes progress! TY!

I can picture Jason singing as you demonstrate those chords. That's like some 12 years ago. I love you man. U broadened my piano horizon. I loved the way you rolled over your left hand notes to layer the right hand chords. I held your DVDs dearly then. All I could think of then was to set up my keyz while I watch ur dvd. Thanks for being an inspiration and teacher to me. Yeah I was 17 then and I'm almost 30 now, I can see you getting Greys. Much love maestro ♥
