Are you sure that final rundown (finishing on the Bb) is right? I always thought it was G-E-Bb-G, with the C in the bass. Just sounds a little off to me. Great tutorial anyway, definitely considering getting it for myself.

@davidunderdown

You could be right. I always teach it to the best of what my ears tell me, but I also encourage you and anyone else to make any and all adjustments they see fit, whether it's because they think I got it wrong or because they just like the way it sounds a different way. So, if you hear something slightly different, by all means go with your own gut....that's what I would do! :-) Thanks for the comment!

@billyjoel7 These online tutorials have been great for me -- I'm not great at reading music, and I can't play by ear, so having people show me how to do it is really helpful. I'd love to be able to play by ear, but I just don't think I was born with that gift, unless it's something that develops as one gets more practiced with playing.

That was a great tutorial!!!!  You never simplified any of the parts like most other tutorials do. Great job!!!

[billyjoel7]

@JayHoff500

Thanks!

Wow. Phenomenal tutorial. You don't skirt over anything for the sake of simplicity like most tutorials/books. Kudos!

[billyjoel7]

@Boyakasha11

Thanks! I try to make sure it's all in there!

Wow you're good I can play it I actually have the words to it though, so my book has me playing it with more of the melody and singing part in the right hand. Thanks for showing me a better way!

[billyjoel7]

@thepianomaster42

Thanks so much! Yeah...I have the book too, but I wanted to make tutorials that were for what Billy himself was actually playing in his recordings. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
