Just the way you are - Billy Joel

[TheGrugruxKing]

Paul.  First of all, thanks for the Taxi tutorial. This is the next one we want! You're the man.

[bocagq45]

I vote for a tutorial. :-)

What are the chances of hearing your version of Scenes from an Italian Restaurant?

[NY152A]

The only complain is that..it's too short. Could you please make the another one longer or a completely full song.. : )

[lovespeanutsss]

Please do a tutorial of this! Your cover is the most awesome one in youtube. Thanks!!

[hhelpmaboab]

Paul,

I wonder if you face the same dilemma as me and other YouTube piano people, i.e. what to do if you don't have a singing voice to go with the keyboard talent? Play only the accompaniment, try to sing anyway, or reproduce the sung part in the right hand?

Listening to Art Tatum again recently, I noticed how he "hinted" at melodies with every 2nd or 3rd note, so that we supply the missing notes in our heads. (Perhaps cognitive psychologists could explain). Wonder if that makes sense?

[paulwwells]

@hhelpmaboab I can normally get the whole tune out and build the harmony around it. What is a problem is the number of tunes which just don't work on a keyboard because they depend upon subtle slides between notes and expression across the duration of a single note.

[nzeastcoastmaori]

[hamsterluv69]

Wonderful rich chords, nice keyboard sound, way to go to keep the tempo constant during the whole song. After hearing this, I had to change the way I play it :p Good job!

[paulwwells]

@hamsterluv69 Thanks. Changing tempo is a very strong effect which I largely avoid using.

[blumonkeyboy]

Very well done. Ive never been able to really work a bass sound while i do a piano lol. just never convincing.

[HowinNY]

[jonathansalt1]

absolutely fantastic as always, we used your tv themes for a quiz the other night!!! you should start charging!!

[paulwwells]

That's ok. I'm more than happy for my renditions to just get a hearing.

[thumperswd07]

Sir, I play Piano, Sax, Guitar, and Bass and get paid for doing so, but even though I'm only 20, I live and breath music so I recognize when something sounds good, and you sound GREAT. Would it be wise of us to be hopeful for a tutorial? I could probably learn it if I tried, but I REALLY like your style on this piece. (Thumbs up!)

[paulwwells]

This has two tutorial votes now

[kzxqrit]

Bravo, Paul. Great as always. Have you considered playing "Piano Man"?

[paulwwells]

Thanks kzxqrit - I did have a listen to Piano Man but it's heavily dependent on the vocal line and the lyrics - loses too much taking it down to just piano. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

[dmpusaf]

awesome job. 5/5

[prettyboy1970]

If you keep posting them, we'll keep watching them. Looking forward to more of your incredible playing.
