[beewardrobe]

[dmartins07]

wow dont half ass it do the left hand with the octaves

[pointychicken]

damn straight

[ryantriple7]

Or, you could use your thumb on the bottom end

[dmartins07]

ya but it was recorded in octaves so if you wann abe pro you do it like that

[AZFoodDesign]

nice

[willtheweird]

nice you can play the song but because you did it entirely by ear your not using the right fingers to play it. good job learning it though

[torque102891]

lol if he's playing the right notes does it really matter?

[shosheman15]

WOOW,, VERY GOOD!

[pete28412]

XD you are a god. rofl. -mastered it-

[Monnya]

[cdngo]

[mexicanyorchy]

[keyboards49]

Very nice job with intro key structures...would recommend learning the entire song...would really rock! This is super job you've done though.

[remembrance97]

excellent...that's it, someone finally is going slow,and, has the camera closer,and clearer..

you rock...thanx,,very helpfull..

[geraci89]

thanks dude thats exactly what i was looking for

[jpoole1994]

geeze why does everyone get a keyboard get a grand piano it sounds sooo much nicer it worth the extra $1,000 dollars it really is if your going to be playing a lot of piano

[SeraphsWitness]

You have much more flexibility with a keyboard. A good keyboard has a tremendous range of sounds for use in a band. Not to mention the portability factor. Also, the ability to record directly from line-in and get perfectly crisp sound.

jpoole1994=owned

[Lebby205]

acctually a couple of corrections: the last chord on the right hand is a second inversion "C" then add an octave "G" added to it and the left hand is just straight quarter notes

[boogie6543]

thanks for the help

[avmonaco1]

Incredible!! I love watching fingers on a piano!

[educortazarc]

very good!!

[betterthanayard]

Agree with RH, disagree with LH rhythm... I can hear it as just regular on the 1, 2, 3 & 4, pounding away nicely. Good one to pull out at a party though!!! Thanks!! What a song!

[betterthanayard]

Also that's some wierdass awkward fingering there on the RH. I'm using the thumb all the way.

[FilmLou]

Nitty's correct, Robert plays the left hand in octaves.

[Roger11733]

I'm buying a keyboard and learn this song.

Thanks for posting!

[jirobaydio]

thank you...

[eddrousch]

Well done, and well demonstrated! Keep up the good work!

[GaaraGirl1003]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!! it really helped me :]

[singitarian]

hey, you seem like you know what you're doing, so could you PLEASE try to find out the chords for keep breathing by ingrid michaelson. THey're only like three that repeat, but if you could help me find them out it'd be great.

[LycanValvaro]

Very cool, you had me worried there for a minute, I thought you were self taught and didn't know proper fingering but then you show'd the final product. Now I just need someone to teach me rachmoninoff prelude in c minor.

[juliawww]

tttttttttthhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aannnkkk you! can't wait to try to play this! :)

[xax22222]

Holy shit. That's 100% perfect!

Thank you sir.

[yoichokh]

Thank you for teaching me how to play.

I love this song.

[muusicman1993]

I love jammin out to this song...normally I don't have the patcience to learn piano music...I'm a sax guy...but after I heard this at their live concert in Iowa...I had to learn it. Took me a week...Keep it UP!

[TubeChop]

cool

[overtime2005]

you are not sriking the lefthand keys enought dude.

[NeonNightCity]

ty ty ty ty!!!!!!!!!

[azguitar]

People make mistakes when they transcribe music, and even published music often contains many, MANY mistakes! Use your ears people and common sense! Of course Robert Lamm is going to play the bass in octaves, 5ths, 7ths etc. It sounds better!

[kylelastname]

thanks a lot for making this. I always wanted to learn this intro. Now I want to learn the bridge or whatever the "people reaching,people touching.." part is. The intro riff is the same thoughout the verses right?

[xXEthanSXx]

bull you got that from tylerhink... he's had a tutorial up for about a year playing it exactly like taht

[battletops]

Or maybe, just maybe, we're both playing from the same sheet music...which is all almost the same.

[teegeemedia]

Being a drummer, guitarist and bassist, I never gave much effort to learning this on piano, though I've wanted to. Thanks for the assistance!

[th3691]

diggy you are an idiot. First measure is quarter quarter eighth eighth. The second is is an eighth rest dotted quarter eighth quarter syncopation.

[diggyj]

haha very funny I have the music here right in front of my the FIRST MEASURE OF THE "LEFT HAND" IS quarter rest quarter quarter. NEXT MEASURE OF THE "LEFT HAND" IS quarter quarter quarter rest if you want then quarter. THEN THE NEXT MEASURE OF THE "LEFT HAND" IS quarter quarter quarter rest if you want then you guessed if quarter. LASTLY, THE LAST MEASURE OF THE "LEFT HAND" IS QUARTER QUARTER QUARTER QUARTER!Please, if you dont have the music dont argue with me.

[saterisk]

Thanks, man! You helped me out a LOT there!

[thenextdogwhisperer]

Wow thanx man now i know how to play this song....I never thogth ill was gonna be able to play this.....thanx!

[mistyjocasta]

Hi. I LOVE this song. I took my tuner and I tuned the notes, and now I play this song on my ocarina all around the house. It's really funny because my brother yells at me for it.

[joselahoz]

Que digitaciones mas raras para la mano derecha. Es dificilisimo ¿Porqué no usa el pulgar?

[warbenjohnson]

thanks this helped me so much, nothing else goes slow cause i cant read music

[tikmol]

THANKS A LOT! THANKS A LOT! THANKS A LOT! Can you post how to play Let It Be and Colour My World?

[petitohm]

great video and great ear: thanks for posting!

Nice VI-II-V-I sequence(actually VI7-II9-V7-I).

Hard to say I'm sorry is harder, esp. in the original key...

[nittyranks]

The left hand notes are ok but have to be played in Octaves.

[diggyj]

yea the left hand notes are " quarter, rest, quarter. The next measure is quarter quarter quarter quarter, not quarter, rest, quarter quarter! get it right please, but nice vid though!

[diggyj]

I mean the first measure of the left hand is: quarter, rest, quarter, quarter. sorry my bad!

[camshire]

I meant to say "Hard to say I'm sorry" by Chicago, my bad. That would be awesome if you did post that song!

[h812]

yay! You did make a tutorial for this. Was waiting for one. A note of thanks from the fans!

[camshire]

you should do a video and play "hard to say goodbye" by chicago.
