INSTRUCTIONAL DVD. Tritone Xtravaganza is probably one of the most important DVDs you will ever purchase as a gospel musician. Tritones are the defining factor between gospel music and other types of music. Many DVDs attempt to show you the usage of the Tritone, but no one has taken the time to really focus on it. For a beginning keyboard player, this is such a difficult concept and sometimes it takes years to master. I wanted to make a DVD that explores as many aspects of the Tritone as possible, but for beginners. In this DVD, the teaching style is very slow and very specific. Many of the concepts are reiterated and reinforeced for better learning. This DVD is an absolute must have for the beginning gospel musician. As an added bonus, we also offer all of the Tritone lessons from the Urban Worship Xtreme DVD. After this DVD you will be well versed in the usage of the Tritone and it will take your playing to another level!
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Illuminated Keys
- Sheet Music
- MIDI Files for each Lesson
- Bonus Clips from XTREME DVD
