Rai Thistlethwayte is a genius :) it was fun to try my hand at this one. This is from his Nord Live Session demoing the upcoming Nord Grand. Morgan Ågren on drums and Gustaf Hielm on bass. Unfortunately I mispelled all the D7s as Dm7 haha.. the PDF has been revised with the correct chord names.

Patreon's post system can be a bit cumbersome, so I've neatly organized a hyperlinked list of every transcription post, in chronological order, for easy access. (All Free, Aeolian, Bebop Tier, and other bold transcriptions have the sheet music attached within the posts, you can download them there. For the rest, you can use the Shop to purchase them)
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Here's an aptly titled transcription of Doen Moen's song, Give Thanks, as rendered by the inimitable Yohan Kim.
From now on, I will include chord symbols on all transcriptions. I'll also go back and add chord symbols to all the PDFs that are up on the store, though that will take several weeks to get done.
You'll find the PDF attached below!

I found this track on Ruslan's instagram page (@ruslanpiano). Some key features of Ruslan's improvisation which we can appropriate into our musical vocabulary:
- Anchoring melodic lines on the 9ths & 11ths.
- Outlining inverted triads with leading tones.
- Outlining seventh chords with leading tones.
- Outlining the pentatonic scale with leading tones.
- Use of blues scales.
Everyone can d...

Many people have asked me to transcribe Yohan's What A Friend We Have In Jesus. So, finally, here it is! This transcribe is one more resource to get into the mind of the improviser, and see some of what Yohan Kim was thinking as he was playing.

Hey guys! Today's the day. I've relaunching my Patreon in the following way:
More Consistent Transcriptions:
I will now be consistently publishing two transcriptions per month on YouTube & Patreon. One transcription will be at the Jazz Tier, and the other at the Funk Tier.
Restructured PDF Access:
PDFs will be hosted in Dropbox folders instead of within Patreon posts. On the first day of each month, I will send an email...

I opened this Patreon a little over a year ago. Thank you so much to those who have been with me since last summer!
A little about me: I've been transcribing mainly piano (but also bass, guitar, horn, and chamber music) since 2013. I've been professionally transcribing since 2017. My introduction to the piano started at age four. I played only classical repertoire (with some interspersed Joplin ragtime every now and then). In 2...

Here's a take on the Beatle's classic by Bob Patin. This rendition is fairly simple, so it's an excellent transcription for intermediate jazz learners to tackle.

Yet another rendition of Isn't She Lovely (my fourth!). This one is by pianist Jason Lux. So far we've got Terrence Shider, Yohan Kim, Marcin Grochowina, and Jason Lux. Isn't She Lovely is one of my favorite songs, so be expectant for more transcriptions of it this year!

Hey guys!
I've been thinking about changing up the tiers, and I need your help. What would you as a patron like to see as a reward for your support? I'm thinking more of adding to, rather than changing the reward system.
Please let me know in the comments below! If you're reading this on email, I would kindly ask you to login to Patreon so you can access the comment thread.
Cheers 🥳

Hey guys!
I'm excited to share that we've reached our third goal of 100 patrons! When I started my Patreon page in May 2018, I was apprehensive about the project. I had some fears and doubts: will my Patreon succeed? Is my YouTube page large enough to run a Patreon? Will anyone become a patron?
All of these trepidations delayed my Patreon launch for weeks and probably months. But I finally decided to launch my page in May last year. I've had been so pleasantly su...

For New Year's, here's a new transcription: Marcin Grochowina's take on Isn't She Lovely, on a 1975 Rhodes Mark I.
This tune was a joy to transcribe. Marcin uses some really neat bass riffs and lines in his left hand, and the texture of the Rhodes is just perfect!
