Pianist and amateur Michael Jackson-impersonator Jeremy Siskind shares his practice session on a difficult tune that doesn't have any ii-V-I's. He focuses on using guidetone lines and pentatonic scales.

Thank you, Sensei Jeremy!!! I woke up at 3:30am to start practicing on an arrangement of "There Will Never Be Another You" I'm doing and I'm starting to like the voicings and reharms I've come up with thus far. My improv skills are certainly not up to par or nearly where I want them to be. Watching you explain how you approach some of your melodic devices and motifs has been enlightening for me this morning. Thank you again for sharing your vast knowledge.

You've been playing a lot of Blues tunes this week, or putting Tabasco on your couscous. This leads naturally to "y'all-isms". Don't fight it, Sir. Lovely playing. 🌹😎🌹

This is really a great lesson, it just happens to be on youtube, and it really stands out of the saturation of the platform. Really enjoyed your process and transmission of ideas. Thanks So much .
