Santa Baby Tutorial - Prof G

[@scrungly]

love listening to Woody "Woody" Goss's rendition of the classic tune "Santa's Baby"

[@Chuckplaysthetrombone]

2:54 You're the first person to be honest about learning a musical instrument I've seen on KZbin. "Just play with it a lot for many, many years and then it will be natural."

[@williamlong7450]

idk why but the vocal sample adds so much to this track

[@samfranks2605]

i want you to have all of my santa babies

[@timbreine2652]

perfect now all i need is a wurly and many many years :)

[@Nessthegreat]

I didn't even know magical beings like Santa could have babies

[@Daywalkr]

I've never once thought about moving around chords shifting up their inversions like that lol. Excited to play around with this

[@mrquicksilver2000]

this is some fucking LIFE CHANGING shit

[@aidanritchie6128]

I love watching Woody not know things that are happening in his own songs. It’s fantastic

[@TheSlycoop01]

the 1/8" to 1/4" adapter is holding everything down 😤

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I swear every musician in the world has a bunch of these, but can also never find one when they need one

[@jtn191]

random adapters laying everywhere is frankly all that I can relate to

[@mharbaugh]

It's resting in the groof.

[@okibbey4848]

Woody I’m crying thank you so much

[@rradiosilencee]

woody you are a blessing to this earth I'm crying you make me so damn happy 😭💞 thank u prof goss

[@mccarthybrien]

"and it's not Easy: you gotta practice this a lot, ...probably." 😆

[@2112gothmog]

So many knowledges bestowed in one day - Thank you Professor!

[@bwifpunish]

Woody genuinely gotta thank you because for the longest time I was pretty unmotivated on keys but you've provided an example of a really cool musician with a lot of personality on the instrument and man it just makes me wanna sit down and play 24/7 because of how classy you make it look. Thank you Woody keep on taking it as it comes.

[@sbilldmilk]

If Santa's Baby is added to streaming services I'm gonna Goss my Woody

[@dimaslanusse6606]

if you have spotify on your computer you can add an mp3 file from your computer library, add it to a playlist and have it on your phone. There’s easy tutorials for this, its what I did to have Santa Baby on my playlist.

[@micahnicolai4135]

I hope your Woody has been sufficiently Gossed after Vulf's new release ;)

[@lucasdicugno1197]

Ive been tryna teach myself keys for a couple months and this is one of the most useful tricks ive seen in a while

[@thecheeselvr]

I’m in love with how he says bye to the wurly

[@thecheeselvr]

I’ve wanted this for so long I genuinely screamed when I saw this title. Triad pairs just blew my mind I feel like a new dimension has just opened. Thank you prof goss please open an academy.

[@chaseisnot]

This is a Christmas classic for me. When I first discovered this rendition I swear I almost broke my neck from grooving so hard! Great tune here Woody! Thank you for the Tutorial!

[@Gassyyetclassy]

The intro seems so vintage and I love it. You have such a great voice for tutorials!

[@aaronkriegman]

I wanted to play Woody's version of this song so bad a few years ago but I couldn't transcribe it, I'm so glad he made this video.

[@elloyellohello]

Thank you, Woody.

[@nathanielbellmore]

I was having a very depressing holiday season a few years back. Vulf's Santa Baby cover brought me right into the Christmas spirit, and has since become a holiday favourite of mine. Thank you Woody, and thank you Vulfpeck.

[@rozztalentscout8986]

I just love the idea of you teaching your viewers on how to play the piano tutorial of this song. You are so amazing.

[@ThomasMYoutube]

Jack Stratton uses this Chord I & II inversion trick in Christmas in L.A for main wurlitzer part. Simplest parts always sound the best.

[@oldgoat381]

He also does a more simple version of it in The Speedwalker and parts of Animal Spirits

[@kirklandwhatley]

Woody, your rendition of Pure Imagination is truly incredible. You need to post a recorded version of that performance.

[@brazni]

This video was pretty good, thank you Mr Goss

[@raeyner]

**Frantically scrambling to watch the new uploads, muttering something about bad internet**

[@aaronphillip3056]

Is this the same technique you use for back pocket's clarinet solo live?

[@WOODYGOSS]

yeah for the most part!

[@fujidaiti]

Maybe it's too late, but you also do the same thing in Mean Girls?

[@BandBHawks]

It gives me so much unbridled joy that this will be on JoMJoRE.

[@kc_snails]

Enlightening seminar-thank you, Professor!

[@yung-jai5735]

All I wanted for Christmas is this

[@davidmoralesdamian5264]

I wasn't aware of this advice, thank you professor I'm looking forward for more videos. Your stuff is great.

[@tokelauallstar]

You're a good man Woody Goss

[@hughjass311]

Opening lil riff sounds like the Super Mario Bros 3 Dual song

[@ianleal9824]

I love your style of playing so much

[@jeremiaharadanas3707]

Woody, great to see you back professing!

[@tobyclbain]

I've always wondered how to move between the inversions like that! This is a great tutorial! Thanks 😎

[@oldgoat381]

I tried working this out by ear to surprise a friend of mine with a arrangement last Christmas Now I can fix up the harmony and add a second lead voice (it was for Rhodes and alto sax)

[@IanBenedict]

I was going to whine about how to play the bridge but then I remembered it'll be at least 2 years before I get there

[@perkelele]

Love the suit short style. That’s actually in the style of formal Bermudan workwear.

[@oldgoat381]

Fun fact: the original score for the Wizard of Oz is *full* of this kind of harmonisation, often with more than triads

[@francotiscornia708]

I'm begging for a solo rhodes album. I really need that "A flower is a lovesome thing" on spotify! Appreciate you woody, thanks for the art.

[@colemorrison1998]

BLESS YOU Professor

[@harriserdman2868]

i need to watch your tutorials for many years, when’s the next one

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

Hello Woody glad I just found your tutorials ..I am a guitarist but find I can learn a lot here. I love how you sometimes don't care about the chords like in Deantown, just the sound. Would it be possible to do a quick tutorial on Barbara..The timing is crazy on the Keys I found. Also using Steve jobs was beyond perfect.

[@RoloBrowntownTony]

This rendition is so sexy. I understand why it’s called Santa’s Baby

[@bramlelieveldt]

My favorite cover of yours, when will it hit spotify?

[@greattttttttttttzzzz]

Day 30 of not practicing and instead watching Woody Goss. I feel much cuter today, I think I'm getting the hang of adding the E natural on top

[@Jimmy_Jim_Jimmy]

I wanted nothing more this fine July day

[@Abrahamic.Design]

Just in time for Christmas.

[@noahmay7708]

Hello Woody Goss. Could you please make a tutorial on how the wurlitzer/rhodes is to be used in a band/solo setting? When I play it like i do a piano it sounds pretty lame .

[@andygalligan4184]

1/4 inch jack on the dash vibes

[@slightlybasic2431]

i remember wanting my funk band to learn this a few months back but when i tried to figure out all the parts all i could get was the bassline lol. thanks for this tutorial!! edit: actually could you tell me the chords you put behind the melody? like on the recording how there are chords played up high every 8th note

[@kylespangladesh2947]

This is an awesome trick, thanks for sharing!

[@imdW]

Prof is back

[@bradleyrohlf]

Get so good at music theory that you forget music theory.

[@opstall]

Steely Dan -- Change of the Guard. Similar idea. C and Dm inversions.

[@ryanmelvey8764]

thanks woody! seems like a really flexible way to harmonize. do you ever do something similar but with diminished chords?

[@michaeldevito7394]

You should check out the Barry Harris alternating major 6th and diminished thing, kind of the same idea!

[@TM-go3ox]

how did you come up with this? By the way, what's your favorite book?

[@meldeoropa]

Question: what are grace notes? Btw, I also hear this inversion technique in claire de lune, specially the one you play at 1:49

[@jjhassy]

Santa’s Baby

[@jacobgingerich4196]

That wurli looks good on you

[@Antonio_Gallego]

Professor Goss, I miss a lot your Venus-Sun, astronomer's social distance lesson :-(

[@ryderlippman3105]

you are so precious

[@kenneth801]

Prob could look this up but what’re ‘grace notes’ Dr. Woody?

[@ethanyee2623]

i love you woody

[@HimanXK]

24 seconds into the video "bye"

[@kobeyang4390]

3:05 3:07 3:48 4:12

[@luryas626]

Then just playing the lowest note with your left hand?

[@kellybaconflute]

OMG YES THANK YOU

[@lukemcmahan1676]

PLEASE someone do a transcription of this

[@mineraljunction]

Magic 😍

[@samthacher4313]

are the same chords used for the chorus?

[@mether3996]

Question: why is this not on Spotify?

[@damiandembek9545]

4:07 „I don’t know”... O RLY???

[@vloggerz67]

[@BrucceWailnard]

[@zac52]

Yes!

[@tomekp95]

3:20 ACKCHYUALY it's F flat

[@9999AWC]

Teach us about aerodynamics please!

[@louis20833]

Step one: be Woody Goss.

[@GunMan4236]

[@noahstaninger9133]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[@warrenstier503]

What kind of keyboard is that

[@OddBunsen]

I think it’s a Wurlitzer

[@ajminifigure]

Do u do Skype lessons?

[@greatmallard9318]

Hey woody I love you

[@quentinmorales]

You have baby hands

[@Gonzalezandres1926]

[@perkelele]

You lost me at the two hands part. I’ll be back in a few years when I’ll be a natural.
