Bennie and the Jets tutorial Part 2

[connorpictures98]

I love your videos!!!! The best for learning these kind of songs. I was listening to a recording and was wondering about the way he alters the G and A chords. I got the G chord fine but am not sure how to alter the A. Thank you!

[pianojohn113]

@connorpictures98 Glad you liked it, thanks. Which section of the video was giving you problems?

[connorpictures98]

@pianojohn113 Well it wasn't the video. I just couldn't find how to alter the A chord.

[clans4]

i was looking for the Bennie and the jets middle and fills piano tutorial on your channel but i couldn't find it so did u remove or can i just not find it?

[pianojohn113]

@clans4 There are two more videos I have on this song, both related to the solo piano part. That might be what you're looking for? They're in my Elton John Tutorials playlist.

[clans4]

@pianojohn113 Oh ya ok i found them thanks for the help.

[dianaandadam]

Dude...you are the best. Thank you so much! I feel like a real pianist now. I'll definitely be checking out some of your other tutorials soon.

[schwerlu]

It would be nice to see you teach Scenes from Itlalian restaurant. I went to a Billy Joel, Etlon John concert in wichita, ks last year and that was one of my favorite songs.

thanks

[pianojohn113]

@schwerlu Yeah, "Scenes" is a fun one to play, just ridiculously hard to teach on a video. If I figure out an easy way to do it, I'll post something up.. lots of requests for that one.

[schwerlu]

Loved it! You da man. :)

[figtreeparable]

you are amazing. I have a ton of sheet music and couldn't play anything until I

started to listen to you. When they say its never to late to learn the piano (I am

61 years old) wells its not, thanks to you. Di Lo.

[pianojohn113]

@figtreeparable That's wonderful, I'm really glad the videos have helped you out. And congratulations to you on learning the piano at 61 - what a great accomplishment!

[loudampsfastbikes]

i appreciate most all the instructional efforts i've seen on YouTube, but this one to me is exceptionally undertstandable, well-presented, and sounds faithful to the original recording. Outstanding work! Thank you!

[icarlystefy]

...best teacher on youtube!! congrats! and tnxs (: 5/5

[nikkinike89]

Could you pretty please with sugar on top finish the Bennie and the Jets tutorials for my brother? It's about a girl...

[pianojohn113]

It's all on my channel, including the solo.

[nikkinike89]

Thank you!!!

[garuto101]

hahahah trying to pick up chicks with bennie and the jets ehh?

[Beatlewayne]

John thanks so very much for ALL that you have done. For me this is one of those songs that is so great, being able to play it properly is litteraly a drug that lasts for hours. The only side effect is your hands get sore (ha ha).

It is this type of goodwill that makes the internet great. On behalf of all who enjoy, from all who are learning, thanks very much for your effort and hard work. This is how we make the world a better place, no doubt about it!

Love Always

Beatlewayne.

[pianojohn113]

Thanks, Beatlewayne, I appreciate the comment!  Glad to help out musically wherever I can.

[micheal6250]

[UpFromEden]

John, you - are - awesome. Eventually, I will learn almost everything you have posted. I have a request! Bob James!! How's about some "Angela", or some "Feel like makin Love" would LOVE it!!!! All the Best!

[abbellimenti]

I'm actually a music major in college but I was having trouble figuring out this song, so thanks for this video! I like how you also say the chord names..it was convenient for me to just listen to the vid and write down the chords as you said them.

[SamuelHawke]

yeah thanks! am intently awaiting the next installment to this tutorial!!!

[blu753]

thancks so much pianojohn!! It would be great if you can teach everyone the solo.

[iLoVeNiCkJ4EvA]

Your tutorials have helped me heaps! Thank you sooooo much. really appreciate it.

[trwmodela]

John, I have learned the first two videos you posted. But now wanting for the interesting solo section next.

Tim

[ruskybalboa]

Here's Johnny!!!!!  Great rendition of a classic EJ tune, please finish it. There is one song that I'd like you to do that's elton john, and that's Honky Cat.

[MusicIsMyLife39]

Hey pianojohn, first of all thanks so much for uploading this. So far I've got everything down pat. When you going to upload the video showing how to play the solo. Sorry if I sound impatient, but that's b/c I am! XD

[Georgejc29]

hey i was wondering if you could make a tutorial for the song Something by the Beatles

[pianojohn113]

Yes, that one should be up here fairly soon. I hope!

[pauljonesesquire]

Wow John what a great tutorial... Elton chooses such beautiful chords for this song....( I must be driving my neighbours crazy with my jazz rendition).... thanks again for sharing your talent.

[pianojohn113]

Hey, thanks, glad you liked it!

[C354RMDV]

Thanks so much. Like everybody else I'll be looking forward for the third part. Your work is very much appreciated

[axlo99]

Wow. Once more one of tour videos changes my life...

Thanks much again! And we're looking forward to the third part!

[Hizzeh]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been so eagerly waiting for this video! I absolutely can not wait for the the video for the fills and middle part. You just made my night. Brewed a fresh cup of tea and now I'll be occupied for the next couple hours =D

[pianojohn113]

Beautiful!  Have fun with it, it's a great song to play. :-)

[PedroElVirtu]

For people like me who dont know how to read music pianojohn has been a fantastic icon, person, teacher, or however you want to name him. Once again John, thanks for this.

[lXetoXl]

Your videos are really appreciated. Thanks!

[pianoomar100]

You didn't really figure that song by ear. I can see that you have the sheet music in front of you.

[shcorporation]

Who said he figured it out by ear? Great work John, don't worry, I appreciate your work, and your tutorials are the best. Thanks so much for this!

[pianojohn113]

I never said I learned this one by ear. But as I said to your same comment on Part 1, the music you see is not Bennie and the Jets, it's a Randy Newman piece I'm learning.

[Narimatzu]

shut up you idiot! your privelaged to just LISTEN to john playing
