That was a fantastic video! I have always thought glissandos were painful, but you have given me some great alternatives to pain! (And I think the descriptive word you needed there was “transition”).
Thanks for the great tips.

Hey Scott, as always, great info. Here is the wiki def: In music, a glissando [ɡlisˈsando] (plural: glissandi, abbreviated gliss.) is a glide from one pitch to another. It is an Italianized musical term derived from the French glisser, to glide. Notice what the plural is. Not Glissandos. lol
Again, thanks for all the hard work you put into these video’s.

Great. I am interested in your course but have progressive degenerative osteoarthritis in my hands and don’t know how to benefit from your course. I take a lot of pain meds and they slow me down and relieve the pain but the progress of the disease isn’t going to stop. I don’t know of anyone creating coursework for people with handicaps who of all people “need” the endorphin release of playing an instrument and the confidence that goes with it. I hope that guy could be you for depressed people like me and people returning from the military with handicaps too…that can escape the madness of their memories with music but like me have both depression and a handicap. Something to think about. I bought your first paperback and was inspired by it. Maybe there is a market here. You proved that the technical training isn’t necessary to play. If it sounds right…do it !!!!! Now the people who can’t follow the rules need a guy like you.
My Best….. Dan Allen

Thank you for Glissando! Now I know the name of the thing I really want to use. Everything that comes from you is totally interesting including the Wands. Please send more.
Hi Scott.
I just got my 1st piano and am green.
But sing Joni Mitchell style music.
If I joined up for your classes could you help me learn versions of her material for starters?

Thanks Scott!
Awhile back you gave a video lesson using the song Blueberry Hill jazz style. You had a guest player demonstrate. I so enjoy doing that song. Just wondering what other songs I could put that technique to. Any suggestions? I tackled this just listening over and over.
