Instead of me watching to learn and kind of pick up some ideas, I sat back and closed my eyes while listening to this arrangement. Just absolutely stunning.

[@nipissing19]

We are all fans for life Doug. Thank you so much.

[@nuancemusic]

THANK YOU for explaining the theory behind these beautiful progressions. This not only helps with learning what you've done but also with gaining knowledge of use.

[@Lot2learn]

Truly wonderful Doug, from start to finish! I can't get over the incredible amount of effort you put into these. Your playing is superb - adding the annotations goes beyond superb. ;-)

[@saildapper2001]

I have my MM, and arrange a LOT, but I've got to tell you I'm humbled by the wonderful way your musical mind works, and I'm afraid 10 more years of school won't give me that. I feel deflated by comparison, yet inspired and thankful to live in an era when I get to hear and see your awesome musical ideas, especially using such a great tune as a base. Thanks for sharing!

[@MurkyMilkdud]

This is really lovely! I've been playing classical for many years now and I have always wanted to break into jazz and I think this will be a great introduction. Thanks!

[@greob]

I usually dislike this standard, but you render it so genuinely that I totally love your version!

[@itmsjim]

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing, incredible, touching, beautiful, awesome, perfect this video/playing is. Ok, that's just the beginning :-) Thank you!!

[@mausib]

Thank you. I am a beginner and sat here with my chords/lead sheet and was able to follow some progressions and runs. This is a wonderful video.

[@olemissguy81]

Good gosh Doug, this is amazing. I look forward to your new videos all the time. Great job!

[@paxwallacejazz]

what a great educational resource this is as well as being so lovingly played! Thank you . I have no idea how you provided the annotation but I'm glad you do.

[@bennygblues]

This is incredible. I, along with I'm sure many others, play a rendition of this song and this is really inspiring. Some of your chord variations are fantastic and I love your use of scales. Thanks for uploading. Really useful :)

[@ytsejam2007]

I was in the need of new ideas to spice up this song and searched and found your videos. Thanks for many new ideas to spice up my playing even more :) Great vids!!! Thanx, Jan

[@willie2639]

Sir, you have realized what I only dream of. Thank you for making my dreams come true--Splendidly Beautiful. . .

[@AlfonsoGugliucci]

Beautiful version Doug, full of new idea, just great

[@reinh]

You've managed a rendition that is totally unlike Keith Jarrett's but just as beautiful. Quite a feat. Bravo!

[@gfunk449]

Wish that you make 88 different versions of this standard. I bet each one would be different and equally fascinating.

[@chafinette]

Même si votre site est les partitions sont gratuites je payerai quand même les 30€ pour le DVD complet car votre travail est énorme et mérite plus que récompense ! Enfin un site sur le net, unique à mon avis, qui offre une écriture pro et sophistiquée des standards du jazz. Bravo !!!

[@lipsman92]

Beautiful, you should be proud of this work!

[@normaflores6847]

My god, what a beautiful version. by far better than Keith Jarret's. I hope to learn it note by note and play it with dignity before I die.

[@gerhardia]

Beautiful ideas and voicings!

[@georgemiller8210]

I love the way you have explanations in the "margins" of the score. It really helps to understand the structure of the music. I learn something new from every one of your videos. Brilliant teaching through example.

[@phenixdagemini]

Doug????Come on man...You are f*ckin' killin me!!!Absolutely B U tiful.Bought me to tears...man.Keep up the good work.

[@charlesunc]

Dang, man, that's a beautiful arrangement. I'm listening to others of yours now. Thanks.

[@WorldOfHuxley]

perfect mood... Just as it must be. Beautiful version.

[@mrmorksstuff]

[@reedtanner9240]

[@PianoNotion]

Just perfect !

[@guiguitogameryt]

sensacional....delicioso....Parabens Doug

[@angledog00]

Love this version. I struggle a bit with fingering. Is there a jazz song you recommend for early intermediates on your FB site? Thank you for the beautiful music!

[@mackalpha1]

dude...awesome awesome! Wish i couldve heard u play this live on a grand or something. I cant even put it into words how just blown i am right now. I couldve cried mid way. Can u send the sheet music or something? Youve inspired me to learn it. Thanks.

[@ArielTeitelMD]

fantastic in every way. How do you get the notation so accurately? Don't you have to slave over it manually? When I've tried to get midi transciption notations with software there are always glitches---thanks.

[@pianofun1207]

Wow!

[@dindan4]

can we find the sheet of all these tutoriels in pdf to play it please? It is really very interesting to play

[@swillhite2002]

Marvelous Doug! A never tired standard. I'll request here again please that u make a video of the Burt Bacharach classic "THE APRIL FOOLS" a not often enough heard beautiful song. I'd love to hear ur spin on it. Would ya?!! Cheers - Steven Isaac

[@peewal2008]

Do you have Band in a Box file for this arrangement? It's great, and very instructive

[@VTownGregory]

As I was told recently when I put this on a program, the title is "Over the Rainbow". Wizard of Oz fan my whole life, and I didn't realize Somewhere is not part of the title.

[@jazz2511]

@PianistaItaliano Thanks Alfonso!

[@epicfirework6860]

Please, what’s backing track? For piano practice, pairs really well

[@georgemiller8210]

Just got this music through a PDF on Doug's website. It failed to come through on two tries because my (old) email server cuts off attachments at 5MB. Although the order was only a pathetic $3.60 Doug persisted, on the other side of the earth, until I got my PDF in Canada. Professional teachers like DMcK are the reason why students are able to strive for their full potential today.

[@mariongabwe]

@mariongabwe if this is an issue, just let me know. Thanks Mario

[@chadbanks7829]

Can you put the music up somewhere so I can learn it

[@PDN11141]

It's so delicious to listen to Doug! How can I get the music? It feels like a long road.. .The tips in yellow whizz past. Do you start by doing lots of scales before you launch into playing, How many hours? I'm so nosey, but I have still desperate urge to learn, even at my age. I've got small hands so it seems to turning everything into a nightmare. Who, or what, helped you most in the learning process. To be honest i'm learning on you tube. I really think you probably work incredibly hard to get this good, I'm forcing myself to learn, it a struggle as adult!

[@haltdeinmaul507]

wohoooo so smoooth

[@charlesunc]

Haha - this is so excellent.

[@MrTerriere]

over the rainbow

[@MrInterestingthings]

beautifully chromatic. I must learn this and use these voicings in other music.

[@junka22]

1:27 - 1:28 that sounded like Darn That Dream :)

[@TookMe20min2findThis]

the day you think you can play the piano, you come here and leave wondering if you can barely play at all!

[@ericliz8265]

O monark aki? isso ta errado, monarkia eu acho q o monark perdeu a conta ou foi hackeado...

[@mariongabwe]

Hello Doug! I absolutely love your arrangement. I recorded the track and added saxophone to it yesterday (just for fun) from where the trio section brooklynstudios.ca/sounds/Over_the_Rainbow.mp3 is it possible to purchase the arrangement from you? AND have permission to perform saxophone with it as a track for personal use? (Credit will be given to you)

[@Grayfox541]

Sheet music? :(

[@TookMe20min2findThis]

Damn, as a beginner in Jazz I was looking for something nice and easy to play. OK that's NOT it! You lost me completely. Barely recognized a 2-5-1 progression.. That was really great though. I guess that would be my ultimate goal to play like this before I die, given I leave my day job and practice for the rest of my life, and still ... :)

[@jonfromtheuk467]
