Todd,
I'm walking through Autumn Leaves in several keys. I can play the melody in several keys. So today I bought an Ibanez SR506 from TranceFusion here on TB. Its time for playing chords.

So now the pressure is on oh master teacher.
The Chord DVD is desperately needed.
I bet you can feel Him bearing down on you to get this done.

All joking aside.....kinda.....maybe.....any ETA on the Chord DVD? I'll take the first one out of the press.

"Ok? Cool"

BTW: I'm going to be in OC the week of Nov 10th.
Any chance of getting private lesson/s while I'm there?
Pleeeeezzzzzzz?

tia,
Todd C.

Hey Todd C.

The Chord Melody DVD should be available in May or June. I will definitely keep everyone posted as we get near the release date.

I'd be thrilled to give you a lesson!!

How long will you be in OC??

I'm going to be in New Hampshire filming part of the Chord Melody DVD Nov. 7 - 13. We could do a lesson on the 14th if that fits your schedule.........OR.......(drum roll please)..........(Here comes the first announcement!! I'll make an official post here on TB later today.)

I'm now offering "iChat" lessons online..... I know you were interested in this a while back. So drop me a note at my home email todd@toddjohnsonmusic.com and I can get you all hooked up.

So, drop me a note at todd@toddjohnsonmusic.com and I'll get you all hooked up!!

Cool??? Cool...........:cool:

I look forward to hearing from you soon!!

Can we do the 14th evenings? I'll be in Laguna Hills until 5:00pm.
I need to check with my daughter too. She may have a coffee house gig that evening
and expects me to join her some how.

I'm game for the online thing. An email is coming.

Hey Todd, how much are your iChat lessons (if I can ask that here)?

Hey Todd, how much are your iChat lessons (if I can ask that here)?

Sure, you can ask that here. I have an introductory rate of $75 per hour.....

I also just posted all the ichat lesson info and "stuck" it on my forum. Check it out and feel free to email me at home todd@toddjohnsonmusic.com if you should have questions.

Cool??? Cool....:cool:

Todd Johnson is perhaps the best combination of player, teacher, and decent human I have ever seen. Todd's 20 years of experience, coupled with his innate ability to communicate clearly, makes his teaching effective! You all should jump at the chance to study with this master.

I have been listening, playing, and teaching for many moons now and have never heard the bass played as Todd plays. His jazz melodic reharmonization is nothing short of Genius. On the guitar and piano Todds "Grips" are common good stuff, but on bass, these grips are GROUND BREAKING! In the last year I have seen some heavy cats marvel at Todd's chord work - Steve Bailey, O'teil Burbridge, Rufus Reid, Michael Manring, Dave Buda, Joe Hunt, Dino Govoni, etc.

Todd pours his heart and soul into his teaching. Seventy-five bucks is a STEAL!

I feel privileged to be associated with Todd.

Jim


p.s. How much lesson can i get in exchange for a Shortys lunch? :)

I'd love to get a lesson, I'll have to hold off though since the dollar is plummeting. It would just cost me too much after conversion at the moment. Hopefully in the future though!

Jim!!

Wow.....All I can say is "checks in the mail". I sincerely thank you for your extremely kind words.

The truth is that Jim is "THE BEST TEACHER" I know....PERIOD......All the "serious" students at Berklee and in New Hampshire know what I'm talking about. I'm constantly mining Jim for his expertise.......

Shorty's!!! Ha!! Jim...for you it's "free grips for life".....or until our hands wear out!! Ha!!:D

You can tell a lot about people based on what they are willing to say about others. I hope to meet both of you.

TC...we need to get you to the New Hampshire Bass Fest and hang with both of us there. It'll change your musical life.... It changed mine!!
