1 Basic Stride Piano Techniques This lesson teaches you how to play a basic stride piano pattern along with improvisation. The stretches are challenging, but once mastered with the pentatonic scale, you will have a nice stride pattern that I'll show you how to combine into several combinations to improvise for minutes. Topics covered are improv with the pentatonic scale and 4 different stride progression "options."

2 "Ain't Misbehavin" - Vol. 1 In this lesson, I will show you note-for-note Fats Waller’s performance of Ain’t Misbehavin. This lesson will be broken into 2 parts. Part 1 (this lesson) will focus on the song introduction and the first 2 A sections. In “Ain’t Misbehavin” – Vol. 2 we will finish the song. This lesson is real fun if you like this stride piano sound then this lesson is definitely for you because you can take these techniques and apply them to other songs in your repertoire.

3 "Ain't Misbehavin" - Vol. 2 We are covering the B section and the final A section. The B section holds some very nice runs that are quite a challenge! I will also show you how using these runs under different chords will give you runs like Oscar Peterson!
