  • thank you sirr!!!!

  • Great video! Easy to follow and sounds good!

    I have featured this song in my video "The History of Pop and Rock in 100 keyboard riffs" Please check it out and see how good your music knowledge is off piano songs etc

    Think you will like it.

    Check it out on my Channel Cpia2002 please. 100 popular piano riffs in there for inspiration.

    Let me know what you think, loads of ideas in there :)

    P.J

  • First off, love the yogurt! Annnd, thank you so much for showing and sharing your brilliant experiencing skills. It's wonderful to learn new songs! Thank you!

  • You are reLly good at teaching please could you do a piano lesson for et by Katy perry thx

  • My first ever attempt at playing a song was because of this tutorial! :D thank you so much, friend! You do a wonderful job!! You make it so simple to follow along and I can't wait to practice some more!

  • This really helped me im hopeing to start recording my piano covers and this is the last one i needed:)

  • Really helpful

  • Thank you for this piano less- oops, I mean experience!

  • could you do one on the rest of the song? or is it all the same chords? I'm about to try it out.

  • i hope it was a yummy yoghurt xD

    

  • loved it! thank you!

  • i have to learn to play this on piano, guitar and another instrument for school and i cant play eather instrument. fml -.-'

  • Dude! You rock! "in fact im just finishing my yogurt"

  • can you do the rest of the song?

  • Mike is a stud! Only studs can start off a tutorial by finishing their yogurt haha

  • Mike! The tutorial was amazing, i got into this song just recentrly and a looked for some tutorial and this was definetly the best. Thank you very much!

  • Thank you! :)

  • "well, i don't really wanna call it a lesson, this is gonna be... and experience."

    were you high?

  • "This is going to be very relaxed...In fact, I'm just finishing up a yogurt..."

  • omg i found it annoying when he kept on talking about wher C wuz!!! ive been playing for 6 years ik wher it us its the first note i learned!!!! srry just expecting it to b a little more....accelerated :/ thumbs up if u agree!!!

  • @laxstarr50 It says "Beginner Lessons." So its for beginners. He was just trying to explain good where everyone would get it. Its always hard when you first start trying to play. Just think back to when you were first learning .

  • I want a piano noww :/

  • what flavour is the yogurt??

  • I thought it was going to be really condescending when he was teaching me where C was, but it was a brilliant tutorial and teaches all skill levels!!

  • Very helpful and clear :D

    Thanks !

    Love this tutorial!

  • Thanks...it was very helpful :) How long have you ben playing for?

  • Very helpful!!! Thanks! :)

  • That tutorial helped an awful lot! I read either sheet music or straight chords, and when I read chords I tend to hang on them until the next comes along! I don't know how to play with the notes in the chord enough to make it sound good with the song! But I loved this video! I would love if you had a tutorial for the rest of the song!! Thanks so much!!

  • the passing chord after the F is a Dminor in the first inversion correct? because Dmaj is DF#A, Dmin is DFA

  • Thanks so much! U helped a lot! I'm improving! Luv the yogurt btw!

  • one of the most laid back teachers ever, your awesome dude. and you have yogurt. automatically 30 times better

  • i give up :'(

  • 1:14 "Just Playing the White Notes at this point"

    What's Wrong with the black ones.........huh??!?!?! lol

  • Tks so much helped alot

  • @meonfire12345

    o really robby kaleigh

  • It was a great video but you made it just a little bit to simple I was getting bored after about the first few notes but over all I like it

  • So I taught myself how to play piano and I'm still a beginner. Im pretty good, so my friend wanted me to play the piano as she sang this song for a competition. I printed out some sheet music, but got lost at the first note. This video helped me SO much, thank you!!!

  • I like that it's an 'experience' :) You seem like a very cool guy.

  • i wish you were my grandpa!! you remind me of mr.rodger's neighborhood! youre so cool and talented

  • there's nothin more you can add to a tutorial to make it perfect

    (usually it's yoghurt but it's present here so...) ^^

  • Thank you Mike!

  • thank you very much, ive been trying ti tech it to myself and i couldnt get it, cause ive been playing piano for only about two months, and this really helped so thanks :)

  • thanks very helpful

  • Thanks for the tutorial.... :D

    

  • Thank you so much! When I took Piano lessons my BAD teacher never taught me how to read notes so this is how I learn how to play the Piano...

  • THANKS !!! ♥ you rock!

  • i really like your slow, patient style. i agree with the poster about john lennon songs and would also like to add my request for paul mccartney or even beatles songs. i think i would benifit greatly from your tutorials. yogurt fans unite...

  • Dear Mike,

    The last time I touched a piano was 1981, right before my parents split up. Flash forward to this afternoon when I took the cover off of my gf's Kawai and found your tutorial. This is exactly what was missing in my life. Thank you for being such a patient, easygoing teacher!

  • Thanks, and please keep playing!

    MM
