[MrCash50]

Thanks for the video. I learned how to play this song in about 30 minutes and I'm NOT a keyboard player AT ALL. I can't even play chop sticks but thanks to your instruction, I learned this song and was so proud of myself that I posted it here on youtube as well as my facebook page. I'm gonna watch and learn more songs from your page. You've got a student for life. Oh yeah..............I'm 52 years old. Goes to show that, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Never too old to learn.

[licandres01]

[Pete8r]

[LondonParis32195]

[gfine2000]

Why ar people disgussing negative things about racism? This is about music and nothing more. How ignorant can one be? Stick to the music and leave your hate at the door! Damn!

[gfine2000]

Nice my brother! I always wanted to learn this song. Thank you so much for unselfishly sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it,

[teazy11]

[zapodbeblebrox1929]

you sound exactly like the black dude in hot tub time machine!

[jaimhias]

hey man thanks so much for the tutorial ! i havent played piano for ages but im definitely learning this song. The tutorial is pretty good but i think u should prepare it a bit more cause at times it gets a lil bit confusing, but anyway, awesome job. btw where can i find the music sheet for this song ? i will like to play it just the way it sounds in the cd !

[mooieblondjes]

your video is ok, good teacher

is is possible to make a tutorial of "have a little faith in me" from john hyath

[Nictany26]

Found most of the videos teaching this song annoying, yours is brilliant, thanks alot

[geezonthekeys]

nice to see a brother doing something good for society rather than being a lowlife dumbass hood rat nigger

[doot14]

@geezonthekeys im white and i still have to say fuck you for saying some ignorant ass shit like that, its people like you that give white people a racist reputation.

[geezonthekeys]

@doot14 Wtf - I aint white you presumptious fool. I am originally from the Ivory Coast. I get sick of black people and black culture in london. Oh look at me with my baggy trousers, bling, cap, and massive white trainers. Alot of black people, no in fact thats wrong, alot of young balck males are fuckin stupid fools who should shut the fuck up, stop stabbing each other, forget about the past and read a fuckin book instead of giving us a bad name.

[pinaybaby08]

@geezonthekeys re-read what @doot14 said "im white and i still have to say..." they never said you were white.

Also, who says there aren't black people who have succeeded through life? Martin Luther King jr & Rosa Parks, fought for equal rights for all races. Abolitionists like Frederick Douglass & Dred Scott fought for their freedom.

Many musicans out there are inspirations & guess what? they happen to be black. When eveyone's still young they screw up & make mistakes. that's life.

[pinaybaby08]

@geezonthekeys oh btw, not to mention from your comment to @doot14 "Alot of black people, no in fact thats wrong, alot of young balck males are fuckin stupid fools..." you said nothing about, "niggers," but simply stated blacks in general.

[pinaybaby08]

@greygolfer55 oh hey whoever you are... Do you think I care whether you liked my singing? what did that even have to do with this video, if I may ask? Nothing, I suppose because you only commented on me from my videos, not even on my profile to add & not of this video. Also, what have I done to you? Are you trying to defend @geezonthekeys ; because if you were, that was a pathetic attempt to. @ DIBeats sorry I keep commenting :/ I just hate people who are as ignorant & arrogant as these two.

[pinaybaby08]

@greygolfer55 I find that funny because @geezonthekeys has no videos up.

[pinaybaby08]

@doot14 you have no idea on how much I agree with you & I'm Asian

[1037lex]

@pinaybaby08 Asians are cute

[pinaybaby08]

@1037lex ... uhm, what did that have to do with the conversatin? xD

[pinaybaby08]

conversation*

[lumpiatoxico]

@pinaybaby08 your philipino!!!! yay!!!

[pinaybaby08]

@geezonthekeys Oh & not all black people do what you say they do. Not everything on the news is about black people stabbing each other, or talking smack. No, & not EVERY black person wears the stereotypical black clothes you seem to recall. You see rappers wearing those "baggy clothes" everyday? No, you don't because they need to be serious. Stereotyping people & labeling them into a seperate group of people is just, plain, wrong. You are arrogant. You are ignorant. You make me sick.

[geezonthekeys]

@pinaybaby08 I'm not talking about black people - I'm talking about niggers. There's a massive difference. Black people hate niggers too.

[pinaybaby08]

@geezonthekeys okay, then tell me this - define a nigger & then define a black person; because the dictionary says that a nigger is a derogatory term of a black person.

[geezonthekeys]

@pinaybaby08 And pinaybaby, you should reread doot14 comment. He said people like you give white people a bad name..... which infers I am white, if I'm not mistaken.

[pinaybaby08]

@geezonthekeys & uh, no. from a general standpoint, it could infer to a couple different things:

1) it could've said that many white people are racist & you're re-enforcing it.

2) or it could've said that from @doot14 's point of view, that you make every white person seem like a racist from your biased comment about black people/niggers

[kev1n28]

@geezonthekeys " He said people like you give white people a bad name..... which infers I am white, if I'm not mistaken." You're right he is inferring that , but i think your comment was written a bit to harshly , :P if it hadn't have been i think more people would have got the point and less would have argued against it . When he refers to N**** he means obnoxious African people who are involved with gangs and the typical drug , criminal life .

[123itzdrew]

@geezonthekeys Your a fuckin dumbass bitch, shut the fuck up. Im mexican and i think i speak for everyone who read what you said and i say that you need to shut the fuck up. Your black?? I doubt that, keep your ignorant ass opinions to yourself.

[migeezel]

F-A-C-E face lol

[gfine2000]

@migeezel If you understand the music staff, you'll learn that between the staff lines are the notes F A C E. Just a little something I thought you should know.

[migeezel]

@gfine2000 i see...

[MoniqueAndChan]

your chords for the right hand are excellent but for the intro you havent completely demonstrated the left hand n i cant c wat ur playin

[COMANDERHALL]

[cr4aigmack1979]

i been paying bass for 30 yrs and never took the time to study piano as much as i should. after watching your tutorial you have inspired me to learn this song and motivate me to play and practive everyday, realizing tommorow is promised to no man. Your video is excellent your instrucitonal teaching ability couple with a sense of humor makes your video excellent in my humble opinion. God bless you.

[Francoiswing]

Hey can you do a Tutorial on Treat her like a lady by the Temptations?

[bobbyLmurphy]

Yo dude, you look like RZA from Wu-tang haha.

Great vid bro.

[johnfinfin]

[KrAzYChiCkA4eva]

Thanks for the tutorial it was really great. I was wondering if you could also make a tutorial for 'Slow Motion' by Karina Pasian... I so luv the vid

[cpa118]

I love your tutorials! Thanks so much for sharing your talent :)

Also, I have a request. Is there any way you could do a tutorial for "Where Did My Baby Go?" By John Legend?

[jujouromanticafan]

thank you for this vid ^_^ I actually had to place my laptop on top of the piano so I could learn it properly lol XDD thanks again ^_^

[dreemi]

great job

[happyvillian]

thank you, thank you!

[cnardecc]

thanks so much for this bro!

[udaonex37]

I can't tell you how many times I have wowed people by playing this song. I had no piano experience whatsoever; none. Because of you, I bought a keyboard. I gave up lots of times and thought it much too challenging for someone with no experience. But then I would return to it and try again, a section at a time. I can play it quite well now and I always receive compliments. And I thank you so very much.

[plfahey24]

Nice shit-you make it too easy.

[mRzLungstAr]

[halmarkman]

I honestly don't comment much on tutorials, but this was fantastic. You helped me out a lot, keep it up. 5 stars for you. : )

[HardcoreHDGamer]

''That's just a real quick version.... of-IT!''

Cracks me up that. Lol.

[mzamazzing]

[legen31]

Thanks I love this dude

[HardcoreHDGamer]

It's a great tutorial but really its hard to see what your doing and also your adding more keys then your explaining. It's hard to play what your playing as your not explaining it entirely.

Please could you make another tutorial from above, that would be great!

[beautyfulbrowneyez20]

this is my first time really noticing. no wonder I'm not learning it....well that combined with the fact that I don't actually know how to play that well

[ellis0abc]

i have a quesiton!!! please reply, the last bit (bridge) i got realllllyyyyyy confused and im about to kill myself with annoyance because this is such a good tutorial but my brain is useless so please may you tell me what you mean at the bridge and the bit you say '' i do this to let people know where i am''. i was like WOAH whaaaat??? please reply and your very good. btw im 13 so i may need in depth explanation because im stupid :'(

[yukitoluver]

[jwd223]

This is a great tutorial, but I think your view could have been a little better. It is kinda hard to see your fingers. Great job

[lilwolfeforever]

Yeah man this tutorial is awesome. Thanks a lot man!

[jessiica892]

Hey, it was great but i think you didnt quite explain the left notes enough for the intro.. :) like you sed the basic notes nd not the ones u play during the right hand chords.. cuz wen i play it, it doesnt sounds as amazing as yours. great job though! :)

[AshleytaylorFovrkeys]

perfect

[jbroxton1]

hey dlbeats you are great i pick up alot of songs from you.. Can you break down hezekiah walker i need you to survive. Firetracks is the best ive seen but he is not breaking them down

[speway]

I really appreciate the time and attention that you put in conveyance of concepts in your videos. Well done. I am not a musician but I have been able to learn the symbols on the staff and relate them to what you are saying. I found this to be very therapeutic to my psyche. The science of music is having an ever increasing draw on my attention.

Again I like and appreciate what you are doing as it has had a positive affect on me.

Much Love From Washington DC,

-Speway

my fingers cant reach that far as CD in the beginning what do i do?

[DIBeats]

Lol keep trying everyday. My friend showed me the a chord that i couldn't reach last week and i kept trying to stretch everyday until i was able to get it.

It was a C-F-A-C-E (lol try that)

[DIBeats]

but if it's not happenning, don't double it up. It should still sound decent

[MrClubXd]
