It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I finished lesson 7 and I'll wait for a reseller to turn up. The course, interesting as it might be, is too expensive for me.
There are other chord piano and cocktail piano courses, some of which have been reviewed in this thread and other threads here. You might want to take another one here which better fits your budget. Chord piano and cocktail piano existed before Duane Shinn made a course about it. It may be the most systematic teacher-less course though, but I'm sure you can find something else adequate to your needs.

Agreed. In fact, I am doing right now the Five Essential Seventh Chords Course totally free, and even though I don't agree with the order of the practice sessions - who am I - I am satisfied with the progression.
It definitely taught me how to play the piano. I really didn't know much at all prior to the course. I'm looking forward with great anticipation to Duane's Praise and Gospel series and his Pro Secrets course. I will start both after the 52 week course is done.
Good luck with it! I finished lesson 7 and I'll wait for a reseller to turn up. The course, interesting as it might be, is too expensive for me.
Thank you for posting your videos.
I'm thinking about selling my 52 Week Course when I'm done with it. I don't even know if selling things on this forum is allowed. I wouldn't know where else to sell it. I would let it go for close to have the price. PM if you're interested and we can figure something out.

I suppose if someone is interested in whatever, he can expose it on the forum and receive a PM about it. V.gr. "I am trying to find a 1902 mahogany upright Steinway. Should somebody knows about one, please let me know via PM"
Here is a little Boogie riff from lesson 42. I really don't care for this style, but it was interesting training my brain to learn it. The arrangement is Duane's. He threw in syncopation and more chording in the right hand. There are a few songs with this pattern in lessons 42 and 43, but I'm not going to record anymore of them. I'll play it as written and then arranged. The piano sound the N1X CFX binaural.
Lesson 42 is finished although there is one other song l'd like to record before I officially call it complete.
David - Really a fantastic job on that arrangement! I'm thinkin' - somewhere down the line a few of those riffs right in the middle of a hymn . . . get folks toes a tappin'!

Yeah, Boogie always seems to be a crowd favorite. It's a style of playing that I can only listen to for a short period of time. After a few minutes it starts to grate on me. Although it is fun for those few minutes.
Lesson 42 is in the books. This song (O, Canada) was not arranged by Duane but I like it because I grew up playing hockey in the northeastern US and in Canada. I heard the Canadian National Anthem quite a bit growing up, therefore, I really wanted to arrange it.
I used some of the bread and butter techniques taught in this course, i.e., arpeggios, chording, runs, walks ups/downs, (counter motion) etc. It's very gratifying because I could do none of this before the course and it gives me confidence that the time I've spent with this course has been worthwhile.
The piano sound is the VSL Steinway D. I've been experimenting with a very dry Steinway sound and I like it. The song is played as written and then arranged.

I see that you are in Sweden, so I don't know what it would involve to get them to you, but if you go to playpiano.com they still offer the Crash Course. Duane passed away recently but I believe his widow still runs the business offering his courses. Maybe you'll get lucky and find it on eBay or somewhere like that.
From what I understand, Duaneās son is revising the website and will make his materials available for download maybe sometime this year. I doubt the cost of the materials will go down, but they will be a bit easier to acquire.

This sounds amazing, hope this will come soon. It would make a lot of sense to just be able to get the content as digital download.

I had customs issues with the delivery and one of the DVDs lacked the last 4' recording. The delivery address was also innacurate. So this is a step in the right direction
