In response to Gene, here is a complete walking bassline clinic that explains step by step how to create hip basslines and then blow lines in the RH over it at the same time)

Dave

I'm sorry. No. It isn't. I am actually super sensitive about tone of voice. And if what I understood right, you had childhood trauma, right? If this was played on a digital Piano, I'd try to adjust the velocity curve to be heavier.
Even the very first notes are harsh.

To understand what is happening to me during the perception: When I talk myself, and I hit any harsh tone, it hurts me physically. If I listen to your song, and I hear any harsh tone, it hurts me.

I think in this kind of jazz a percussive style of playing is not an unexpected thing, listen to Chick Corea for example.

CyberGene I don't have a problem with being percussive. But I have a problem with harsh tone of voice. It hurts me physically.

The most recent video was meant to relax somebody. But it feels as if somebody is doing the 'Squeak of chalk on the blackboard' during a massage…
It's just so off-putting to me.
Why would you do that? It should be soothing, no?

Chick Corea is far less problematic to me. Although it often clips …
Wow. I really love it, though. Can't stop listening 😃
