I really liked your tutorial but it was confusing at times... usually when you started improvising within the chords.

I was wondering if you could say the chord progression after the G around 4:24

[addnamehere]

Holy shit, you're cute. Thanks for the tutorial, sometimes I'm too lazy to play by ear or to look up sheet music, so I find how to videos. Ahh.... I feel like a 50s housewife.

Hey! Very cool, I loved the straightforward explanations and the demonstration. Thanks. If you want it, here's a little bit of input on the technical chord names.

1:41 - F6 (Dm7/F isn't quite as accurate in this context)

2:17 - It would be Am6, but in this context, it's D9 because it works as a dominant to the next anticipated chord. (Am - Am7 - D9)

Hi again -

I've been listening to Who are You New York a lot, and have looked for the chords on the net. I haven't found any.

Unfortunately I'm really, really crap at findingt the proper chords my self. Would that be a challenge for you..?

It's a great song and probably a tremendous warm-upper, judging from from the ripling arpeggios.

All the best, Adrian

@FabianMugmes56 Thanks for getting in touch and for letting me know about that song. It's really cool but I just don't have the time to make videos right now as I am getting ready to teach high school art and music next year. I'm sorry I can't help you out. You could try and pick out just the melody on your own for starters. That would help a lot. But to be honest, that song is a hard one for a beginner to learn on. Heck it's a hard one for anyone to learn. Good luck. Peace.

[FabianMugmes56]

@jraciti1 Thanks. I'll try and look into it - maybe I might be able to post a proper video later - but that would be way after summer. Enjoy the teaching - your'e pupils are lucky to be taught by what I would consider a natural!

[mychickenyourcat]

Great! love this :) can you make a tutorial for "Another Believer"... for me? ;) i'll make a response video of me playing and singing it! :)

[FabianMugmes56]

Dear jraciti1,

I'm a amateur pianist from Denmark who found your tutorial. Thanks a lot for your work, it's really generous of you, I sincerely appreciate it. Will watch it al lot - on my piano!

Keep it up, Adrian

PS - no, I dont do video links

[jraciti1]

@FabianMugmes56 You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

[jraciti1]

Yeah I almost started balling in the middle of the street in NYC when I first heard this song. So embarrassing.

[brewster71]

one of the few songs that makes me cry.

[brewster71]

Thanks for this - it's really great.

[jesstilla]

Hey, thanks. I love this song! The way you play it is really pretty and I think the way you teach makes it easy to learn. So thanks.

Hello jraciti! Thats such a good song. I have known that by keane cover. And since than i ve diceded to leran it to play. But i can't play piano:D But i want to learn the most important chords, beautiful chords. I think colplay, keane wheather any pop music is easy, but nice. Could you say me how many chords used averagely in this kind of musics. I belive not the all:) Thanks

ps: you have good peformance!

[jraciti1]

Hi cyberry12, you know, it really depends on the song. Some pop songs are as few as maybe three chords (or even less!) and some are a bit more complex. It all depends. On average, I'd say you could reduce a song to it's basics and get around four or five chords for pop songs. Hope that helps.

This is soo good , i am gonna start this on friday i know its gonna be hard to do the whole thing but will get the hang of it , i dont play piano but i managed to teach myself to play The Maker Makes by rufus, alot of time and patience is the key.

Thanks for doing this, i love this song!!!!

[jraciti1]

You are certainly welcome. I'm glad you found it and that it is helping you learn the song. It's such a great tune... I hope you try singing along while you play. That will help you learn the song and it sounds even better when you perform it live.

[aaciseric]

Thanks for uploading this, i'm trying to learn the song and this is VERY helpful. And your teaching style is quite easy to follow.

[jraciti1]

Thank you kindly. It's such a great song... makes arranging a piece of cake.

[TVonthePorch]

Your arrangement is really nice, such beautiful chords.
