Otis - Kanye West and Jay-Z (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

[jennifergaskarth]

Great tutorial, I'm not the greatest piano player and I found this really easy to pick up.

[NorthpawProductions]

@jennifergaskarth I'm happy to hear that haha... I really try to make my lessons as simple as possible

[NorthpawProductions]

@jennifergaskarth how long would you say it took you to pick this up?

[jennifergaskarth]

@NorthpawProductions not too sure, definitely no longer than an hour or else the time flew quickly

[NorthpawProductions]

@jennifergaskarth gotcha. that's good news.... happy it helped you :)

[ViviFloBot]

hey i rlly like this song.but this tutorial was to confusing for me.can u plz make an easier 1 for me?u dont need to say the cords or anything tho.i just need to look at how yiur playing.great tutorial either way

[NorthpawProductions]

@ViviFloBot I'm too busy to re-make this lesson. I hope the lesson still helps you

[nerdylizzie10]

okay your tutorials are nice but can I at-least have the notes :c

[NorthpawProductions]

@nerdylizzie10 I learned this by ear, so I don't have notes

[GoodStuffPlaylist]

Your shit doesn't help you go at normal speed and its hard to pause the video every second to see where your fingers are. Please fix your shit.

[tmancloud]

Can you do brooklyn zoo by ol dirty bastard

[NorthpawProductions]

@tmancloud I'll give it a listen, thanks for the idea

[Shilz1000]

wat about the boondocks theme song

[NorthpawProductions]

@Shilz1000 good idea, I'll definitely check that out

[ThePianohead]

Review: Teaching and speed: awesome 5/5

Showing where your hands are on the keyboard: 5/5

Saying what chords they are: 0/5

How accurate it is to the song: 2/5

Notes: Please say chord names, it helps people at times. For how accurate you were about the song: You said do the five notes on Gminor three times, then the fourth time do the different fingering; it is really four times regular then the five time with the different fingering.

[NorthpawProductions]

@ThePianohead thanks for all the suggestions. I have been trying to say notes in my more recent videos... it all depends on how long the lesson is without them

[LowkeyBeatzTV]

@ThePianohead .... the lessons are already great enough why would he waste his time naming all the chords

[NowWhatLaura12810]

I know but my computer is slow as crap and my iPod can't do that XD great tutorial tho make more!

[NorthpawProductions]

@NowWhatLaura12810 consider it done :)

[NowWhatLaura12810]

I just started teaching myself how to play the piano...you should have gone a bit slower with the beginning but I'm pretty sure I can get the rest of it down thanks

[NorthpawProductions]

@NowWhatLaura12810 word. you can try holding space bar for slow motion, that sometimes helps. otherwise, good luck

[Dylanism1]

everything by Chester See? Thanks man, take care.

[NorthpawProductions]

@Dylanism1 yeah I'll give it a listen; thanks for the idea!

[lamekid134]

Why dont you do left and right together when you first teach it?

[NorthpawProductions]

@lamekid134 because I put them together after I show them individually :) can you still learn it?

[lamekid134]

@NorthpawProductions Yea. :) But I was just thinking it would be easier if you did them both together though. Its crazy that you actually responded thanks.

[NorthpawProductions]

@lamekid134 yeah hahaha sorry I can't really help; separate hand practice really is the best way though haha

[RandomAmazement]

[NorthpawProductions]

@thebeast95 no it's never gone forever, just start doing it again. it'll be rough at first, but the more you do it, the better you'll get :) lemme know how it goes?

[23mrswaggman]

Great tutorial you should try lift of from watch the throne

[NorthpawProductions]

@23mrswaggman yeah someone else asked for that one; I'll try to check it out ASAP

[JRaawr]

[MrIplaybaseball]

you should do primetime from jay z and kanye's watch the throne album next

[NorthpawProductions]

@MrIplaybaseball on my list; please be patient

[MLGBeastModeMark]

@NorthpawProductions My dads job got moved down to oklahoma but we lived in Michigan for a while. Do you live near there?

[NewMotionCr3w]

can you do "ill be there" by mac miller ?

[NorthpawProductions]

@NewMotionCr3w it's on my list; please be patient

[Prophit02]

Primetime next?

[NorthpawProductions]

@Prophit02 by who?

[Prophit02]

@NorthpawProductions Kanye and Jay-Z off watch the throne bonus track. Great piano loop on it

[masihalex]

@Prophit02 I LOVE the piano loop on that song...really old school mafioso

[NorthpawProductions]

@Prophit02 word I'll give it a shot; thanks for the idea

[MLGBeastModeMark]

That was funny in that iway video you were like "fist pump"! Lol and your from detroit? I use to live 2 minutes from the ambassador bridge

[NorthpawProductions]

@MLGBeastModeMark no way! why did you move?

[NorthpawProductions]

@ErasedStateOfMind Randy Newman right?

[NorthpawProductions]

@Beriaal hahaha I just hope I did Mr. Redding justice haha

[jedvillainy]

i was just watching the music vid.. and i was like "damn i wanna learn how to play this" go to my front page and you have a tutorial up! awesome job

I request you do a Janelle Monae song cos she's freakin amazing. Oh, Maker or Say You'll Go preferably but any of her songs would do!

[NorthpawProductions]

@jedvillainy yeah Kanye and Hov killed this one; I like it a lot. thanks for the love

yeah I actually heard about her the other day, is she new?

[jedvillainy]

@NorthpawProductions not entirely, i mean she was on Outkast's Idlewild and that was in 06 or something? I recommend giving her a listen.. she's awesome (y) If you cant do any Janelle Monae my second request would be The Roots - Radio Daze (tutorials for their music have been lacking) And no worries, keep doing these tutorials, they're real helpful!

[NorthpawProductions]

@jedvillainy word, I'll give her a listen. and I'm a HUGE Roots fan, so there's a good chance you'll see that song at some point if I can figure it out :)

[jedvillainy]

@NorthpawProductions sweet as, looking forward to it!

[MLGBeastModeMark]

Please do hit em up by lil wayne from tha carter 2.

[NorthpawProductions]

@MLGBeastModeMark yeah that's a great song; I'll have to check it out thanks
