Without a doubt, the best tutorials on Youtube. Started off with Imagine, and working my way through them. Never played the piano before, but now sound like I have played for years thanks to your brilliant tutorials.
I have to disagree with the placement of the E G# B D chord. In the actual song it sounds like the chord lands more with the b in the right hand after the c and e (on beat 3). Just a thought
This one is available in either the Billy Joel Keyboard Book, or Billy Joel Complete.. can't remember which one.. but I've seen the sheets for it in one of those books, and as I recall it was excellent, very well done.
ive learned the intro to this and Miami 2017...and theyre both amazing. you made it so much easier than learning by book. but i'm looking to play all of NY state of mind and Miami 2017. do you think the rest of both songs will be up soon?
really enjoy all your tutorials. can you let me know if i'm correct about not seeing the chorus posted for NY State of Mind. I have seen 1,2,3,&4. ,,all terrific,,please give me your comment about this thanks,,prip1055
im so glad you have put up new york state of mind! ive been wanting to learn the intro for a while and im a much more visual learner. you have made this feel so easy to learn! i cant wait for the third part! ill have to post me playing after i finish learning.... although it wont be as good.... your awesome!
Great Tutorial, thank you for all of your effort to put these up, I would never have the patience!
Yours are probably the most accurate tutorials on YouTube :)
