Hi Willie,
The couple of sample videos I’ve seen have really got me hooked. If I buy/download 1 or 2 DVDs, will I still get access to the members forum?
Thanks.

Same question ! Since getting the dvds I’ve been having a blast & would love to read how other users have been getting on.

Hi Willie,
Is there any way you could make the beat/drums you use in your funk videos available to those of us who are playing on piano?
Thanks.
PS. Downloaded the 15 Funk Grooves and it truly is a progressive build up to awesome funk grooves.

Hey willie can you tell me what keyboard you are using in your introduction video on the main page.

Hi Willie;
I love the progressive way you teach these funk grooves. I used to think it would take years to learn these techniques and phat chords, but your step-by-step instruction makes it easy and I find myself rushing to the keyboard because I’m enjoying myself so much. Thank you so much.

Hi Willie;
Loved the funk grooves DVD and your approach of filling the measure with all 16th notes to start with & taking some away later. Also the ghosting note effect is probably the most significant funk technique that we’ve always heard but never realised was going on.

Hi Willie, I like the way you got these lessons laid out and I’m thinking seriously about buying the Funk and Jazz lessons. I would like to know if you’re planning on doing some music in the style of famous artists, like George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and others. I think that would be real cool. Keep up the good work!

@Tyron: It is a Yamaha YPG-625
@William: Yes, I’ll be doing many more lessons on funk keyboard and I will include some lessons on funk artists like George Duke, Herbie, etc.. Right now I am finishing up http://www.jazzgospelpiano.com/

I Willie, I have a question about contemporary R&B? What’ is the best piano lesson to take if I want to produce R&B Music, like Artist (Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, J-Holiday R-Kelly, Dru-Hill etc..) and Producer’s like (Rodeny Jerkins aka Darkchild, Scott Storch, The Neptunes).

Hi Wille,
I would like to ask what the differences between ordering DVDs from you and becoming a membership? Does it means that if I just ordering the DVDs, I won’t get to use the forum and download the play-along audio files?
Also, do you have a demo lesson where I can try out? I know this question was asked many times and based on your answered, you probably have it. However, I still cannot find the demo lesson in your website.
Please send your reply to my e-mail address. So that I will know when you answer.
Joseph 12.13.09 at 8:37 am
Also, I checked out your Catalog and I am interested in Funk Piano “Mega” Bundle. But I let me make sure of something. In this Bundle, there is no DVD “Composing A Funk Groove”. Am I right?
Please send your reply to my e-mail address. So that I will know when you answer.
Willie 12.13.09 at 8:41 am
Hi Joseph,
The membership gives you access to ALL of the lessons, where as a DVD gives you only that one DVD. Memberships include all sheet music, videos and mp3’s.
You can learn more at: piano lessons
You are also correct, the Funk Mega bundle does not include the Composing A Funk Groove DVD.
We are updating the sites VERY soon so it will make it easier to understand.
Thanks for your questions!
