Beatles Lady Madonna Piano Tutorial lesson

[thybananaphone]

great lesson mate, you have the perfect way of explaining things for people who don't play much! :)

[satriani32]

hey great lesson, I was wondering something however, I learned it first from pianojohn a few months ago and he shows the intro with the left playing slightly different and I was wondering if you know which way paul did it for the recording, specifically the chromatic notes play through as octave together, using passing tones ie, A-A C/C C#/C# D-D D-D. dashes are played vertically, slashes are horrizontal, is this wrong?

[LOOKN450]

Being a life-long guitar player I'm finding the concept of splitting the brain in order to play two different pieces a bit challenging. I'm amazed at how easy it is to play each hand seperately, and how unnatural it feels to play both at once. I will master this. Thanks for your lesson, and I will echo your observation that I wish things like Youtube tutorials existed when I was learning guitar in the 70's.

[BigFatCatDaddy]

Thank you so much! This is the best and easiest to understand tutorial on youtube! :D

[shakey64]

[soccerguy325]

Hi Independent30!

Greetings from the UK!

I haven't started piano properly yet but I can tell this is a great lesson..Your explanations make very good sense!.

I can play this on guitar which I think seems a lot easier than piano..Sounds better on piano though!

Any chance you could post the piano intro to 'Mystify' by INXS?..

Cheers!

[ilovemycrazybuddies1]

wow thx i think i can do i!!

heyy but i wonder who plays it in the actual song....

Paul, Goerge, John, or Ringo.....

[independent30m]

@ilovemycrazybuddies1 Its definitely Paul! Glad you liked the lesson

[StayBlur]

@independent30m Hate to inform you your wrong, a tech engineer called George Martin played the piano on Lady Madonna. He also made the riff up..

[cnabors77]

excellent job Chad. thx for breaking it all down. do you reach piano? you should.

[TheLastOffender]

Hey, I'm from Mentor and I love this tune...maybe it's an Ohio thing. Go Cavs!~

[EukalaSaurusRex]

hey i mastered it this way and now I'm trying to learn it a different way and it's sooooo much harder, but without this i never would have been able to get close to the other version thanks sooo much

[Zmayn]

this guy sounds like hurley from lost haha

[numanuma20]

It's in cut time i think.

[echle2]

[avrilita36]

[legolas35653]

ye but what about the middle where they sing friday night arives without a suitcase ?????????

[Charsh14]

hehe im so excited! Next week im also going to learn how to play the drums with me dad :D Oh I already know how to play the piano. ive been playing since i was 7 :P

[karlyLennon]

i have a question, when you have to make a pause with the rght hand, do you have to make the same pause at the same time but with the left hand?? or do you keep playing with the left during the pause??

[independent30m]

The left hand never stops moving only the right hand will pause which is kind of like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time lol

[karlyLennon]

@independent30m

ok, thanks :)

[xkidd7]

Great tutorial I'm kind of confused on how to combine both hands. I memorized the left and right hand but I don't know if you try to play the left hand so it hits the keys at the same time as the right.

[scalliwag36]

lost my sheet music for this tune. thanks a bunch dude!! knuckle love.

[ripalte]

cool riff

[neonorangellama]

Thank you so much!! You deserve a fistbump for your awesome video -fistbump-

[phunkyphantomphenom]

this is awesome! thank you! i love how you explain in laymans terms so its idiotproof :)

[independent30m]

Thanks i wasnt really trying idiot proof just thought id help out the beginners but then the experts get pissed so you cant please everyone lol

[cormacf24]

im 12 and i can play that its NOT that hard!

[Free411]

nice

[urmomdidwhat]

awesome!!!

[earthboundiscool]

What setting do you put your keyboard on to make that sound. I have a Casio WK-200, but can't find a similar sound setting. Does anyone here know? Thanks

[earthboundiscool]

Also, sorry for the double post, but are you using a pedal when you play this? I'm a keyboard noob.

[pukarla]

thanks a lot!

[jimmyopage]

Thank you

[GoldenLadle]

Granted there's more to playing the song then just these few bars, but I still would like to thank you for showing me this. Learning this got me interested in playing the rest of the song. This is such a fun song to play and I learn so much better from watching people play than fumbling through sheet music for hours at a time.

[GamerJW]

haha. "But that's a chance we're all willing to take."

[Kynophobia]

Great job :D

I can play this song too, but I play it differently.

[goriandmusic]

great! thank you

[summerzeeve]

fantastic :) thank you

[albertoisetan]

dooooooo! ok, alright.

[plutoend99]

thanks man, Im learning piano and this tutorial was great!

[rnburgandy08]

thanks bro. i just started picking up the piano so this really helps. And i love the beatles

[tanoshineko]

Thank you so much!

[undeclaredcomics]

This is the first song I ever learned on piano, thanks to this video!

[choirkid15]

your amazing

[OxAeroBabixO]

Wow thanks :D you helped me get the right hand right :]

[cepijm]

you are goinng a bit fast and we cant see some fingers

[DominikaKubler]

thanks a lot :)

[Ultramaniac89]

when i play it i find it sounds better when you play both of the a's at the samee time

(when ur walking up the keys)

[westfield90]

Thank You for this

[Props2u]

Ive seen lots of tutorials here on youtube and this is right up there with the best of them. Its in the right key and explained fully. 5/5, Please do more!

[angus1019]

I hope you know you have helped me out a lot, i appreciate it man. Cheers.

[angus1019]

And is it normal to find the left hand extremely difficult?

[kyoukilis20]

awesome! thx a ton!

[omegashepherd]

no soul man

[MisterHankey009]

thx...

[e2727]

The C is missing, it's A C C# D in the left hand

[Hesbackisstan]

Nooooo, there is no c in the bass, ACtually!

[raygunjohnny]

there is a c, ACtually...

[Hesbackisstan]

well now i think there can be, but listen to my version, i dont play the c and i think it sounds as good if not better! x

[BELA32]

Good but Wrong key

[Hesbackisstan]

again, Noooo, its in A, which is correct, you weapon!

[leafkid252]

Thanks so much for this, it's really useful.

[fedetrim]

PRACTICE RIGHT HAND FOR A DAY OR TWO?

the right hand is for a seven years old child.. come on, get real.. i was able to play both hands 20 minutes after reading the partitures..

[LuisWahWah]

congrats you surely must be some maestro...You know, not everyone that plays piano is at the same level. It didnt take me 2 of practice to get it, more like 3 hours. But someone who just got a piano might struggle with it. No need to act high and mighty about it.

[lalalaavie]

so why are you looking at this video?

[Promise01]

That is a stupid and big headed statement. And I teach piano.

[XmcrvenomX]

dude thanks that helps a ton

[Mrsully51693]

that was a great help thanks soo much!

[Coillrua]

Well done!

[david24498]

Im playing this in 10 mins thanks solved a lot really great stuff

[fabrimadd]

GOOD JOB !! MAN.. SO COOL.!

[matthelson]

Love that part: "you may drive someone in the house crazy...but that's the chance we're willing to take." Priceless!! Damn funny!

[yun9yun]

my hands arn't wide enough to get to the A so....... I guesse i have to practice more............

[yun9yun]

THANX SO MUCH!

[kalamita90]

bravissimo

[him6661]

this was great dude, i was playing this song 20 minutes after watching your video, so i'd have to say this was effective.

you should make a whole series of these, and then when your 65 and retire, you'll have years of tunes for the kiddies to learn
