Welcome To The Second Issue Of Our New E-zine!
Last Wednesday, I announced that after 5 years of hibernation, our ezine is back... and this time as a weekly newsletter rather than monthly!
And boy was I not ready for the hurricane of e-mail replies that soon
followed. You guys have re-welcomed the ezine with open arms and I thank
you for that!
This one, like last week's, is packed with tons of great information.
From self-help philosophy to quick and easy tricks you can apply to your
chords, you're sure to find a nugget or two.
As a friendly reminder, make sure to subscribe at the site (no cost) as I'm only sending the first 6 issues to everyone. After that, it's only going to subscribers.
And comment! Let me know what you think about the material. Your feedback really keeps me going.
Meanwhile, enjoy this issue and I'll see you next time.
The Michael Jordan Method To Music Mastery
Time to change gears a little bit. It surprises me the number of people married to their own "Cant's."
More surprising, the fact that most have not really given the endeavor

Malcolm Gladwell, in his book, "Outliers," talks about the 10,000 hour rule. Summed up, it takes 10,000 hours to... Read more >>>

hears you do this, you automatically get brownie points... Read more >>>
"Initiative! Now that's what I'm talking about"
A couple days ago, I wrote about the "Michael Jordan Method To Music Mastery." I recommend you go check it out.
But in it, I introduced a concept from Malcolm Gladwell's book,
"Outliers" which asserts that it takes about "10,000 hours to master a
skill."
I got some really good feedback both via the comments and e-mail. But one of my favorites came from J.R. Massey... Read more >>>
8 Year Old Gospel Music Genius - Jayden Arnold [VIDEOS]
Today's post is about a young musician I can't stop
marveling over. His name is Jayden Arnold and he reminds me so much of
myself (except he's several miles ahead of where I was).
I've had the opportunity to talk to Jayden's mom and she says he is
completely self-taught. Never had a lesson, never had a teacher. He just
listens to things and is able to pick it out. This is a perfect example
of giftedness at a young age.
If you observe his clips, he's got... Read More>>>

We're back for another "Ask Jermaine" where I choose a student's
question and give my personal take on it -- this week on gospel piano
scales.
It comes from Ade: "How many types of gospel piano scales are there
and which ones do I really need to know to progress as a gospel player."
My answer... Read more >>>
