"How To Play Like Ray Charles Without Years Of Lessons"

If you want to unlock the mind of a true piano legend and don't want to pay thousands of dollars for lessons then this will be the most important message you're ever going to hear.

Dear Piano Friend,

I've never felt so low.

I had just auditioned for the most popular band in town and failed miserably.

I knew by the looks on their faces that I wasn’t cutting it.

The drummer seemed bored, the singer uninspired, & the guitar player was even laughing at me.

I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.

Failure is never easy. But, looking back, it was crystal clear why I didn’t get the gig.

1 Truth That Piano Players Must Face Today

Struggling on stage is no fun!

The reality is, I didn’t have the chops that modern piano players need to have.

My playing was childish and unimpressive.

And when I went to play in any style outside of jazz, I felt like an imposter. It was horrifying.

You see, being a 1 trick pony is the worst possible scenario.

Today, it’s essential that you can play blues, jazz, gospel, funk, new orleans, rock, etc.

Music had evolved and I wasn’t there. It sucked. There was no way I was going to face this situation again.

I knew I had to do something about it.

There had to be a secret and I was bound and determined to find it.

The Missing Link To My Piano Success

"The Genius Of Soul" Ray Charles

So, I searched for a piano role model who played great in multiples styles of music.

The more I searched the more I realized there was really 1 guy who was light years ahead of the rest. The legendary Ray Charles.

Ray’s playing was truly magical.

It was filled with mind blowing piano runs, a killer left hand, soulful chords, smoking licks, and infectious grooves.

More importantly, he had the type of playing that ignites passion in people’s soul.

The type of playing that makes us feel alive and inspires listeners at their very core.

Joy, creativity, inspiration, and fun. Ray had it all.

Why Piano Players Struggle

I mean, jazz is an art form built on improvisation and I had completely neglected this in my practice!

My horrible improvisation skills had just ruined the whole night.

I even looked out in the crowd and I saw a few people laughing at me.

After the song was over, I limped away from the keyboard and immediately left the party. How could I show my face again?

I was so depressed that I didn’t leave the house for 2 weeks. It was horrible.

Ray Charles: My Gateway To Piano Success

How To Stop Struggling At The Piano

Blues Hall Of Fame Pianist Bruce Katz

So, I sought out the advice of the foremost expert on Ray Charles’ piano playing, Blues Hall of Famer Bruce Katz.

Bruce toured with David “Fathead” Newman. A legend in his own right!

The same guy who played all the great sax solos on Ray’s iconic recordings.

Bruce was the top authority on Ray’s playing. When Bruce toured with "Fathead", he'd play the exact piano parts that Ray played.

In addition, he was a professor at The Berklee College Of Music, the #1 music conservatory in the world.

Plus, he toured with rock legend Greg Allman and The Allman Brothers. Who better to help me get out of this painful musical rut?

How To Improve Your Piano Playing By 10x

The "Genius Of Soul" Ray Charles

I knew this was my best chance to transform my piano skills without having to struggle for years and figure out Ray’s playing by myself.

So, for 2 years Bruce and I worked together.

Each week Bruce would show me incredible techniques and unlock the mystery of what made Ray’s piano playing great.

We studied step by step, Ray’s iconic recordings.

Each week my confidence and piano skills grew.

It was an unbelievable time of amazing musical growth.

How I Revolutionized My Jazz Improvisation

Armed with my new skills, I finally started to pick up some local gigs.

They went great and word started getting out about how much I had improved my playing.

Next thing I know I was gigging 5 nights a week in some of the hottest clubs in Chicago.

I was finally playing with some of the best musicians in the city.

It felt amazing but it didn’t stop there...

Within 4 years I was touring nationally. A few years after that I was:

My transformation was amazing!

Touring around the world (14 different countries in 2 years)
Appearing on TV (NBC, ABC, & WGN)
Playing on radio (NPR & WLUP)
Even playing with Grammy Award Winners (Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, etc.)

Yes, I practiced smart, but David's incredible training pushed my playing to levels I could only dream of.

Time To Unlock A Lifetime Of Ray's Piano Secrets

I knew how valuable this information was and how much it transformed my life as a piano player.

So, this summer we flew Bruce out to our studio and we put together the most comprehensive Ray Charles course ever created.

It uses the same blueprint I used to unlock Ray’s playing secrets and dramatically transform my piano skills.

And the best part is I personally guarantee it will work for you.
