Kid Rock- All Summer Long



All Summer Long is a tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd band and Kid Rock doesn't hide the fact that it's a take off on Sweet Home Alabama. I love the patterns in this song. It's easy to play in the Key of D. D6, C6 and G6 are color chords that add flavor to your piano playing! What exactly is a color tone? Many of you know simple chord structure (basic three notes, also known as a triad). A color tone is an extra note added to the basic chord structure.

Robert James Ritchie (born January 17, 1971), known by his stage name Kid Rock, is an Kid Rock, American musician and actor known for his over-the-top persona and his ability to mix rap with metal, rock, blues and country music. He has sold over 25 million records to date.

Do You See Colors With Your Music?

I found this very interesting article on Piano Forums at Piano World By Elizabeth Landau

(CNN) -- When Julian Asher listens to an orchestra, he doesn't just hear music; he also sees it. The sounds of a violin make him see a rich burgundy color, shiny and fluid like a red wine, while a cello's music flows like honey in a golden yellow hue.


Julian Asher, genetics researcher and amateur photographer, can see colors in response to sounds.

As many as 1 percent of people have the most recognizable form of synesthesia, studies say. Acclaimed Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote "Lolita," famously had the disorder, as did physicist Richard Feynman and composer Franz Liszt.

"Since a subtle interaction exists between sound and shape, I see q as browner than k, while s is not the light blue of c, but a curious mixture of azure and mother-of-pearl," Nabokov wrote in his memoir "Speak, Memory."

Psychologists have known for more than a century that synesthesia runs in families -- Nabokov's mother and son Dimitri also displayed forms of it -- but the specific genes have not been found.

Now, Asher and colleagues in the United Kingdom have done what they say is the first genetic analysis of synesthesia. Their findings are published this week in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

Researchers collected DNA from 196 people from 43 families in which there were multiple members with synesthesia. They looked exclusively at auditory-visual synesthesia, the kind where sound triggers color, which is easier to diagnose than other possible forms.

They expected to find a single gene responsible for synesthesia, but they found that the condition was linked to regions on chromosomes 2, 5, 6, and 12 -- four distinct areas instead of one.

"It means that the genetics of synesthesia are much more complex than we thought," Asher said.

Brain scans have shown that people with synesthesia seem to have "cross-wiring" between brain regions, said Dr. V.S. Ramachandran, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego.

"Nobody really had the evidence pinning it down to specific genes in specific chromosomes, and I'm delighted to hear somebody's done that," Ramachandran said.

"Cross-wiring" was shown in a study led by J.A. Nunn at Goldsmiths College, London, which found that the visual areas of the brain were activated in response to sound in people for whom sound triggers color.

Given that a normal infant's brain has excess connections between brain regions, one hypothesis is that synesthesia results when the genes that "prune" these connections away are mutated, Ramachandran said. In other words, people with synesthesia may have brain connections that would normally disappear at an early age.

Genes found in the areas of Asher's study have been connected to other mental disorders. For example, genes on chromosome 2 have also been linked to autism, Asher said.

The link between synesthesia and autism is controversial and speculative, but one of Asher's previous case studies suggests a connection. The man he examined had Asperger's syndrome -- a mild, high-functioning form of autism -- and also had an extraordinary memory capacity for numbers. In fact, he memorized 22,000 digits of the number pi.

The man's process of remembering these numbers is not simple rote recall. Instead, it is as though he were navigating a landscape, Asher said. "He says it's like walking along a path," Asher said.

The man's ability to focus intently on a dry subject is associated with Asperger's, but it's also synesthesia that helps him memorize numbers, Asher said. In fact, in this sense, synesthesia is a form of photographic memory.

One suggestion is that synesthesia and autism in a single person may make him or her a savant, someone with a singular and extreme intellectual ability.

Children with synesthesia will often show signs of it in school, because it slows down reading for some kids and makes lectures difficult to absorb for others. As awareness of learning differences grows in schools, more children are coming forward and explaining that they have trouble, leading to more diagnoses, Asher said. Interventions may include written notes or books on tape for those whose synesthesia interferes with, respectively, listening or reading.

To what extent do children with synesthesia grow up to become artists and poets? The connection is controversial, in spite of prominent examples such as Nabokov, Asher said it's a misconception that most synesthetes go into creative disciplines. His database of 900 people with the condition does not have a disproportionate number in artistic professions.

In Asher's own case, nonverbal noises such as a fire alarm or a piece of music will trigger visual sensations.

When he was a child, Asher would go to the symphony with his parents and assumed that the lights went down so that everyone could see the colors better. "I mean, why else would they do it?" he said.

"My parents asked something, and I said, 'Oh, they turned the lights off so you could see the colors,' and they had no idea what I was talking about, and that's when I realized that they didn't see what I saw," he said.

He never knew that his condition had a name until he happened to be researching the genetics of perfect pitch, which has been anecdotally linked with synesthesia.

"Even to this day, I'll run into people who study neuroscience for a living, and they've never heard of it," he said. There are organizations that promote awareness, but still a lot of people don't know about it, he said.

To learn more,
Click Here, Ministry Musician DVD

Dear Fellow Musician,


What if you could lock yourself in a room and get 4.5 hours of
ministry-focused instruction from the man behind many of your
favorite gospel albums?

Would that excite you?

Well, you're definitely in luck! Because I've found a resource
that'll uncover tons of contemporary gospel secrets from one of
the baddest gospel musicians in the industry today, Mr. Jason
White!

You'll get the opportunity to learn flavorful approaches,
chords, movements, patterns, "licks & tricks," and real songs
from Jason White, but not only that...

You'll learn the music ministry side of things too. This isn't
just for someone who wants to steal a bunch of chords and sound
good, although you'll get dozens upon dozens of chords and will
certainly sound 10 times better after devouring this course.
This is deeper than that though.

This is for the musician who truly wants to be used by God to
usher in His presence through music. The musician who no longer
wants to be a distraction or hindrance to the service but
actually be an integral part of the worship experience.

Jason is ready to show you what he's picked up over the years as
he's had the privilege to walk closely with prominent pastors like
Bishop Charles Blake.

This is a holistic course focusing both on the creative music
side and the ministry side. You will not go wrong with it.

Brief description of each disc below:

Disc 1: Get an in-depth look at how to play hymns in a
contemporary way without sacrificing the melody. From "To God
Be The Glory," to "Oh How I Love Jesus," you'll learn Jason
White's way of flipping these hymns, chord by chord!

Disc 2: In the second part of this course, you'll learn what
Jason White calls "church bebop" and the "old school shuffle."
Both of these styles are found in tons of choir songs, praise
songs, and devotional music like "I'm On the Battlefield."

Disc 3: The third part of the course is all about praise and
worship. You'll learn dozens of contemporary chords to play
during this part of the service and how to alter the atmosphere
of the church by choosing your chords and progressions
carefully.

Disc 4: The last part of the course covers shouting music. From
traditional patterns to modern routes, you'll learn insider
secrets behind Jason White's shouting style! Chords, licks,
fill-ins, basslines, runs, and more!
