I've been playing the piano since I was six. My training was conventional: Chopin, Debussy, Beethoven, Lecuona.
But I started dabbling with soul, bossa nova, blues and jazz by listening to such artists as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Jobim, Ray Charles, Bachrach, Sergio Mendes, Billie Holiday, Hornsby, Billy Joel, Basia, Clapton, Norah Jones, Benoit, Marsalis, Anita Baker and others in a long list. The chords, the beat, rhythm and vocals just tickled my ears, I guess. But there was something in jazz and blues that stirred me. There was a tinge of sadness, depth, and redemption. Could this be the "blues"? I heard Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit", and for the rest of the day, I had it. Ditto Ray Charles singing "Hard Times" and "Drown in My Own Tears."
So I tried to play by ear, not always successfully. I understand some basic chords a bit. If a chord sounds ok, I use it. But everything's instinct. Is there an easier and faster way to learn how to play and to improvise?

I'm looking to broaden my musical horizons here. Name some albums that are brilliant from beginning to end.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Three of the four have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their solo careers, Lennon in '94, McCartney in '99, and Harrison in '04.

So based on their solo careers only, who do you think was the best musician and who was the worst?

For me it'd be:

1. John Lennon. His work in the Beatles was excellent, but solo, he's just incredible. His lyrics are so deep and clever, and he can create great melodies.

2. George Harrison. He was underrated as a guitarist, but he had a pretty successful solo career. I love his solo songs.

3. Paul McCartney. He was good in the Beatles, creating simple but melodic tunes, but as a solo artist, he began to decline. I don't care if he's one of the most successful artists even as a solo one, he just lost his touch....

4. Ringo Starr. Not that I don't care about him, but...I've never really heard his solo music before.

Its sort of spoken/sung... it sounds unusual but compelling.

I dont recall any verbatim lyrics, but its a woman singing... something about going into a coffee shop or something... the guy behind the counter pours her a cup. Its raining. A different woman is outside and looking in... and the woman inside is wondering to herself if the woman outside is looking at her or looking at her own reflection. She enters the coffee shop and knows the guy behind the counter.

There is a lot more to it than that, but I just cant remember. I cant look up the song by lyrics because I cant quote any lyrics.

One day, me and my wife were at our old place and were watching CMT (Country Music Television), she is into the country music, but I will listen to it and must admit some songs are pretty catchy.
I will also admit that I can be a bit of an emotional guy, and while we were watching CMT, a certain music video came on...It was called "I want you to live" by George Canyon. It is a tribute video to the men and women of the Canadian Forces. I have to say that, watching this video, it got tears going in my eyes. I am an avid military supporter, I was in the process of joining the Canadian Forces at the time, so I was getting ready to go to Basic Training, but I decided on returning home to get back in shape and then join the Reserves..
But I want to ask you all...What are some tear jerking music videos you have seen? and what was it about them that got the tears going??
