Hey everyone,

In this first lesson on pedaling, I explain how I view the pedal, how it's different from the piano, and how to set it up properly. Next we will talk about legato-pedaling, staccato-pedaling, pedaling rhythm, and half-pedaling.

I got this idea from Ed Saindon, but I use the term a little differently now. "Dampening effects," to me, are different sounds you can produce while dampening. This includes deadstrokes, half-dampening, and dampening speed.

I asked Dall-E to draw a vibraharp.

As I was doing this, I thought that maybe I did one of these before on the site. 

But it's ok, here's another one! 

5 choruses of Rhythm Changes. 3 choruses of lines and one of voicings. 

Then there's one where I play quarter notes on top and voice chords on the beat. It's a great way to study harmone, voicings and make simple lines. 

Play it with Aebersold Ireal, or the bass track I have here. And do the following.
