Donny-why won't you take a few moments and show us how you do this? Or at the very minimum, could you please describe how you use this technique on uptempo songs as well as slow tunes. Are you playing over a midi file that already has a full piano part or riding styles?

I think to play with out a sustain pedal while using a piano as a main instrument puts you in a box where for me, a pedal is needed. I don't think its a crutch for bad technique...it provides an effect two hands can't replicate in most cases.

Instead of posting irrelevant videos that don't pertain to this discussion, just detail how you do it and we can all move on.

Other people get asked about techniques all the time and they provide further explanations all the time. What's the hesitation about?
