"My name is Austin McBride and I'm here on behalf of Expertvillage.com. Today I'm going to show you how to pay some Latin Jazz piano. Latin jazz is based in jazz chords, however, it's syncopates differently it's very rhythm and syncopation savvy and thus is less radio friendly here in the States, it's a little bit harder to come by. Occasionally you'll hear something with a Latin jazz feel; Santana and Rob Thomas had it something that kind of had that Latin feel to it. Today we're working with a simple chord progression. This is G sharp minor, C sharp minor, to E flat major. I will be working with that and I'll be showing you some of the syncopation patterns that we use. So rather in normal jazz we would be doing (playing a rhythm) or something like that as far as rhythm is concerned. With Latin Jazz it will be more jumpy and bounding back and forth in a certain way (playing Latin chords). And that is in a nutshell how you play the basics of Latin Jazz."

on 6/2/2009 Dude, first of all you're playing in A flat minor, not G sharp minor! The IV chord is D flat minor and the V chord is E flat. If you were in G sharp minor, the V chord would be D sharp major, spelled D sharp - F double sharp - A sharp. News flash. You are not a musician. You are a beginner. With content like this, I'm afraid that "Expert Village" is doomed to oblivion - even with its stylish logo. On a positive note, I will say that Austin has a very jazzy look with his glasses and hip facial hair.

on 3/24/2009 Quite extraordinary, I wonder why on earth he thinks he is an expert, or actually knows anything much at all about this.
