WOW! You are really awesome ! Great Congratulations!  I am Brazilian and I Play piano since I'm four years old!  I'm beggining to love Bossa Nova, I would like to know if you can help me with this style. I'm crazy to know that you are not a brazilian and you know so well our songs =D 

thankyou for uploading such good videos!

Hello Julian, how are you? I would really love to download the sheet of your jazz arrangement of "Silent Night", but i get an error when I click the link... Any ideas of whats wrong, and how can I download it? Great job, love your channen, by the way!

Hello Julian, I play guitar at fairly high level (having two albums on my resume, soon a third). Recently I had a chance to play Latin and Brazilian music in a more professional setting. For the region, i played satisfyingly ok, even got a some taps on back, but for me as a person it was frustratingly not ok. Not having much piano players of same or higher level around me, I am writing you for help and eventual guidance. The piano player I played with had some patterns under his fingers that i could easily replicate and be proud of myself, but that isn't enough for me. So: can you point me in the right direction as far as developing Latin and Brazilian vocabulary. It will be my job to apply it for guitar, thus all i'm asking from you is some solid foundation material (theoretical and for piano) that I could creatively use. Best wishes, Danilo

hi Julian, just a "silly" question: what keyboard are you using? The jazzy piano sound is great. Thanks

Can you give us advice or link, how to remember all scales, how to learn them all. They are so asimetrical on piano keys, I have real problem to put them in my memory.

i watched first lesson, very helpful.. and i already love this guy ^_^ ;)

YOur piece 'falling in love for the first time' is really very lovely thanks. I expect you have written some more. Is there anywhere I can buy a cd of your music to play in the car?

Hello Julian, how you doing? Really been a long time you posted a video. Can't wait to have you back here posting some more crazy stuffs. Great job.

Hey Julian thx for all you do. Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new year. Will; Newport News, VA

Fantastic. Thank you.

I'm finding your videos very helpful thanks.

Hi Julian, I enjoyed your chord video immensely and I had a bit of an epiphany when you were explaining the 1-4-5-1 chord progression in the Rhianna's Umbrella song.  At the very end you show how the last bar resolved back to the relative minor of E flat major.  So it seams that you can take a simple progression like this and instead of resolving back to the original major key you can use it's relative minor.  Does that work in all cases?  Thank you for your feedback. 

Your videos are EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Extremely thorough and accessible demystification of jazz. I'm super psyched and looking forward to jazzing up my tired repertoire. Thank you so much for the amazing talent and time put into these vids.

Hi Julian, I just happened to stumble upon your youtube channel. My knowledge of music theory as a whole is very basic. I understand chords and how to put them together, but I don't understand jazz chords and their progressions. Where do I start? Thank you!

HI julian ,i m french and i ve bought your collectors i think this method is for intermediate its difficult for translate but its very intersting and complete i appreciate the mp3 playback and the secret that not school in france say i play since twenty years ago and i ve the level of five year because i turn around i don't know what learn and why , with your methode its more concret  thank i wait for another book perhaps or song.

Hi there - I saw the announcement of yesterday's hangout unfotrunately couldn't go because I had to go to a work meeting and now I can't find it - was it called off or something? Would love to participate in a hangout at some stage.

You have changed my life...thank you

You are one of those rare individuals who write, perform, and teach with equal facility. (And you're "putting it out there!") I've been a semi-pro musician (pop, cover, etc.) my whole adult life, and although adult learners are known for being better studies, you're clarifying, putting things in context and unlocking ideas I've had in my head that I couldn't get out before. Now at 13, my son is a talented aspiring multi-instrumentalist, and I'm going to insist he gives your lessons a shot. You ought to have your recordings on iTunes, though.
