Hi, My name is James Ursel. I made this channel because i wanted to create a 1 stop resource for everything piano. All styles, pop, jazz, you name it. But also do it the right way and teach from recordings of master musicians. Here you will find my own covers of songs where i try to incorporate all that i am learning, transcriptions of some of my favourite artists, tutorials for playing whole songs (with the right chords) and specific topic related videos where we analyze specific techniques to take your playing to the next level!

Freakin wow! My favorite sound on the planet since i was a kid. I'm 63 now. Beautiful information!
Thank you so much! Probably my favourite sound as well:)
Thanks. A lot of work went into that.
No problem more to come!
❤❤❤❤
Lo de "pdf gratis" era una broma, ¿verdad?
Translate to English please
Measure 4-5 was played wrong
I’m confused which part specifically?
Great, would you suggest other left hand patterns?
Yes you could try arpeggios, broken up tenths (root, 5th, 3rd) or bass note then play a mid range chord:)
FORMIDABLE. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
It's great but you uploaded something with just left side audio by accident
It sounds perfect to me. Sound coming through both speakers. Trying checking other videos.
@@Ralstro The other videos are fine. You might have your audio in Mono
@@Ralstro I'm just trying help. I subscribed and liked the video, and i'd like him to get more subscribers.
@@guiyolaa Well done. I totally agree with you, he deserves many more followers. His playing and arrangements really are excellent. Thanks.
@@Ralstro Right... So hopefully they'll fix their audio and people will actually stay. Thanks as well, though i'm not sure what we're thanking each other for
Absolutely beautiful, James. This is my favourite piece by Randy Newman I was just about to turn in for the night when I saw your notification and this poignant little tune has made for the perfect lullaby. Thanks.
It’s my favourite of his too! So glad you enjoyed it:)
Beautiful! Wonderful arrangement!
Thank you very much!
Great lesson. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful work, I can't wait to learn this! Subscription added xx.
Thank you! Love when my older vids provide value, any questions just ask:)
Fats was truly a Legend!
I know the album is fire but you cant include this much garland of red material 🤣
I know but at this tempo it was too tempting .lol do you mean garland of red album? So many other licks but that may be another vid “top 1000 red garland 2-5-1 licks”
@@Jamesursel1 oops ive been practicing a foggy day lately and had a brain fart
2024
😅😅 lesson please
Maybe in future working on some stride stuff right now
James this is truly wonderful as always. Funnily enough I’m playing around with Pure Imagination right now, might be copying some of your ideas 😂
Thank you! Yes glad I can provide some grist for your mill:)
@@Jamesursel1keep the wheel churning sir
Bruh... can you do handful of keys? PLEASE?
Brostang, got a rh tutorial where I go into Handful of keys tech, stay tuned .
This is a beautiful arrangement. Elevated and interesting voicing but true to the original familiar tune and tempo. Love it James!
Bellissimo
Brought a tear to my eye 😢thank you so much 😊
Wow thank you:) glad they were the good kind:)
@@Jamesursel1 no it was not the good kind. Made me think about lil refill and what he has to go through
@@ByKaskiit make sure you hot dawg it, we had to change the min max on the incel edition of jergens as a result of your tomfoolery.
yo you got more of this??? best rhythm referance vid ever
Yo there is more coming in my right hand vid, stay tizzuned homie!
Very informative. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Like the little solo, kind of New Orleans. Thanks for the performance, have the book, will dust it off.
Thanks, yeah does have a New Orleans vibe. That series of books is really great Brent edstrom is a fantastic arranger.
Junko partner yeaah
I don't know why, but I really loathe that song, however you played it so well I have listened to it twice.. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to learn from first sight to this, which is absolutely perfect? Thanks.
Thanks so much:) I’m glad this version quelled some of your loathing.lol This one took me about a month, it’s not so much the technical aspect but conceiving of the arrangement, voicings, reharmonization etc. Hope that answers your question.
@@Jamesursel1 Thank you for the reply. You have more than answered my question. Seeing the sheet music I assumed (always a bad idea) that you were playing from a book, which is why I wondered how long it took to perfect those beautiful runs. Now that I know you arranged it I am doubly impressed. I am even gradually warming to the tune! By the way, the sheet music is a wonderful touch.Being able to read along with the playing makes it much more enjoyable. Thanks again.
@@Ralstro I’m glad you like the sheet music! Yeah I find it very satisfying the two in tandem as well. Thanks again!
Really fine musicianship. Subtle, effortless phrasing and total control of the instrument. WOW!
Wow! What a great comment thanks:)
It is difficult for Asians due to the length of their fingers.😢
Stride piano Asian edition forthcoming lol
Bravissimo, che magnifici accordi!
Thank you!
Stunning arrangement and beautiful, effortless playing - as always!
Thank you very much!
Just fantastic!
Thanks John:)
This is so lovely!!! and super satisfying to watch the notes...
I’m a sheet music addict, glad I’m scratching both our itches lol
Mann I have to keep an eye out for your channel pff 🔥🔥
Wow thanks man! I watch yours regularly.
Really great stuff man!
Appreciate it!
Pretty accurate! The tenths especially, you're very fortunate to be able to flat them over the keys, it makes everything so much easier!
James, do you have the tech needed to get a line input from your keyboard? Your playing is fantastic and these videos are some of the best demonstrations that AREN'T misleading to the viewer however the incessant clattering of the keys is something that could even drive the saltiest pianist crazy xD (even better would be hearing you at an acoustic :D)
Thank you ! yes I have a focusrite that I use to record when not talking, eventually I want to upgrade all my tech, but the dream is to have a really nice upright or one of the amazing new digitals that don’t make a you said the annoying clacking. In my next right hand vid I’m going to turn up the volume so hopefully it masks the clicking. Thanks again for your great comments
@@Jamesursel1 If you're looking for a good board, I recommend the Zoom L8, it has a straight line input and can also take input from mics (mute buttons are a god send). I've used it for years at this point and never ran into anything I couldn't pull off with it :D
Я ждал этого! Идеальный набор! Спасибо за Ваш труд! Браво!
Thank you so much!
What if your hands are too small to form tenths, can you still play this stuff??
You can omit the top note, yes it’s totally possible Stephanie trick is a great stride pianist and she plays mostly single notes
I love it!
So glad!
The problem for me: my hands are too tiny so striding with 10th is not possible.
Lots of cool ideas and tips in here, nicely put together. thanks! 🙏🏼
Glad you found it informative!
Fabulous! Question: do you play your examples first and then transcribe them, or do you pre-compose them first? I suspect it’s a little of both…
Thank you! Yes your suspicions are correct, I like to play along with records to get ideas then write out, then if it’s different I amend the sheet music, but as you can see in the video I didn’t stay faithful to every written example. I do love sheet music though.
Very educational and damn impressive! Thanks :)
Thank you, no problem!
Beautiful
Thank you Shelly!
Wow. How is your playing so clear? There has to be a trick... ^^
No tricks I swear:)
Most people cannot reach a tenth in one hand
I don't think I'll live long enough to achieve lousy...
this is awesome!! thanks for this video :)
Glad you liked it!
Worth listening to all the way through for the final rendition of L.O.V.E. - crisp and complex playing to my ear.
Expert detail and obvious love and mastery of the subject James. Well done!
