Just noticed: the angry b part at 1:22 is a transposition of the intro to Please Set Me At Ease, by Bobbi Humphrey.

Great spot - I think they were really being influenced by Mizell productions at this point in Jamiroquai's writing!

Nice one buddy, but this song already has charts and sheet music available on scribd.. (for example, www.scribd.com/doc/82165158/Jamiroquai-Travelling-Without-Moving-Songbook and www.scribd.com/doc/208692450/136910843-Jamiroquai-High-Times-Singles-1992-2006-Songbook-PDF ) Though, when you switch to the 9-chords, they aren't in the sheets, so kudos to you there! but nonetheless, if you are looking for more Jamiroquai tunes to transcribe that are not already in sheet music form, may i suggest "Feel so good" or "Main Vein" or "hot tequila brown" or "white knuckle ride" or "hurtin" or some stuff from "funk odyssey" or "dynamite" or "rock dust light star" that aren't in the songbook i've posted above. Thanks nonetheless! Still waiting on pinball number count and daft punk's "give life back to music" ;)

Hey there, I'm still working through what I consider are the best Jamiroquai songs, especially for Rhodes parts. I'm aware that sheet music is available for some of them but that's not the point - as you said, those transcriptions are not accurate. It doesn't significantly add to the difficulty to play exactly what Toby did so really, I have no use or need for those sheet music versions. I enjoy figuring out exactly what Toby did and I like to learn from his style (licks and voicings etc) and pass what I've learned on in these videos. I'm not just trying to fill gaps in what has already been published, especially when what has been published is not good enough. It might be a while before pinball or daft punk, just because I've been away playing and also busy with things like my brother's wedding! I will get some more videos done as soon as I can though.. Thanks, Tom

[@Jamiroqueen]

well said, man! well certainly keep up the good work because I for one am a direct beneficiary of your diligence on these tunes, as you can see. ANd those links might help peeps if you don't transcribe the songs... Cheerio! May the force be with you. ~russ

@tomogradymusic Hey man, you seem to be taking an awful long time with uploading new videos. I've been waiting patiently

[@tomogradymusic]

Hi Louis, how are you? I'm glad you're keen to see more videos but I think you need to understand that I do these videos as a helpful guide to other keyboard players - I don't benefit in any way. I'm a freelance musician so when I get paying jobs I will always prioritise those. I'd love to upload more Herbie / Jamiroquai videos but I can only do it when I have time - over the summer I've been away touring, I've been writing for my own band Resolution 88 and I am due to support Gregory Porter later this year with a singer. I'm sure you can appreciate why all those things come first. I have to earn a living! More videos on their way .. when I have time!

[@HitTheLofi]

Alright dude? I know you've been busy, but any word on the EOPE lesson?

[@Diispaceyone]

The description for the song you're playing is wrong; just letting you know. I don't if you have to have it right for copyright purposes.

[@tomogradymusic]

Ah - thanks very much for letting me know - all sorted now! Thanks, Tom
