all of your tutorials are phenomenal and deserve the public's attention. Im just curious if you are a fan of pink floyd? I feel that Richard Wright (r.i.p.) is highly overlooked as a highly regarded pianist and i can tell your skills will serve him justice.
@greenscene1122 I really like Pink Floyd, although I don't play much of their stuff anymore for some reason. Richard Wright was an outstanding pianist, and really flew way under the radar. Not many people know who he is, but they'd notice if his piano parts were missing from the songs because they gave life to so many different pieces of theirs.
John, my man, haven't checked your vids out in a awhile. Been playing more guitar rather than piano. Glad to see you've gotten into the Lennon solo stuff. Lennon put his heart and soul into these songs and you do them justice, and then some. Gonna break the old Korg out and give a few of these a go. I love all his solo stuff, and i feel like a schmuck asking if your going to do anymore , bc you've already given so much. However, you thinking of doing "Isolation" of his first album? Classic song.
@jayrtheking Yeah, much of Lennon's solo stuff was more earnest and thought-out than his early Beatles compositions, and he used the piano a lot more. Many of his more complicated chords were on his first two solo albums.. great stuff. Isolation is on the list!
After listening to the fill many times I believe it goes up and then down....c d e d c a( u play it c e d c a)....what do u think....I only ask BC I'm recording it w a friend And want to get it right
@trider23 Yes, it is played the way you noted on the first two passages, and it is done the way I showed it at the end.. on this demo, I play an abbreviated version, and the fill is the "end" version.
@trider23 There is a mandolin-type instrument on that section doing some kind of trill or repeated single note, you're right.. that could be what gives it the fuller sound there.
Hello John, I just posted your demo on my facebook profile, to show your tutorials to my friends. Join me on facebook. You know my name. If you search in Google, you will find me. Thank you very much for your fantastic envolvement in making the Beatles' songs accessible to people like me, who can't play the piano so well if they are not shown all the keys! Take care, Catherine
WOW!!!! Your Awesome! I Love this Song By John Lennon! well....i Love them all...But still. Hahaha you are so good at Piano. One day, Im going to show my Piano teacher some of your videos and i will show her that you are my inspiration. Your Extremely Talented! Keep it up!
This is great. Thanks for posting. I'll be watching your tutorial soon. I am a HUGE Lennon fan and love literally everyone of his songs, individually and with The Beatles, but this, in my opinion, is his best.
And how ironic that he wrote this beautiful song about how he was just settling down and enjoying his life and family and then he died. Rest in peace.
what can i say piano john but just fantastic the great man himself is looking down on you great cover as always.just love this song.
