    C'est aussi l'époque de Noël bas sur le bayou où je suis dans l'esprit ou plus précisément - dans les spiritueux de Noël.
    Nous avons utilisé pour informer le public : "Plus vous buvez, le mieux notre musique." c'est toujours vrai.
    BRAVISSIMO !!!
    It's also Christmas time down on the bayou where I am in the spirit or more accurately - into the spirits of Christmas (he wrote with a laugh).
    We used to tell the audience: "the more you drink, the better we sound." It still holds true.
    BRAVISSIMO!!!
    Kent, YOU are the MAN! Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    "Angels We Have Heard While High"! Good one! Haha! Wow! I've been trying to learn this 'straight' from a hymnal. Was getting 'learning fatigue' from the holiday fatigue from the pandemic fatigue. Truly thanks for the laugh. Some friends came up with "The 12 Months of Covid. In the year 2020, the pandemic gave to me...."

    Thanks Kent, insightful as always. Love the #9's, b13 idea on dom.chords, noticed that you spread it in 4th's starting on the dom.7th note of dom. chord. Then, changed it up to #11 on next dom. C7

    Hello again Mr Hewitt,
    When you play drop 2 voicings in your videos are using the inversion and going up diatonically or with the melody?

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  Před 7 lety

      Melody on top with 2nd note from top dropped down to LH... makes a pretty voicing. Often ascending or descending in step lines w/ dim. chords. Check here: czcams.com/play/PLFuMibnl_h5ZMcXYpItRkLzTgzqO44orp.html
