Thank You very much! I was just wondering how to end the song after the 2nd verse and chorus?

[seeyouontele]

lovely song for piano - relatively easy to play and improvise. Makes you admire the talent of the original music makers. You explain this very well and I can embody it and do it in my own style. Keep going - great stuff and thanks for being generous!

Very Nice instruction video. I am learning this song because my nephew love the song... lol... I want to suprise him. Thanks again

[gunner6230]

could you post up the actual fingering picture chords for all these chords

[h2owenshmowen2]

Hi Mike. Always wanted to be able to play ONE decent song on piano but sheet music doesn't show all the extra twiddley bits. Always fancied doing an Elton John song (see what I mean) but this would be awesome! I play guitar/bass (in a covers band) so guitar tabs help although they are invariably wrong. Thankfully I can figure out the guitar parts.Nice to see a decent FOLLOWABLE tutorial. Cheers.

cheers to you too.

perfecto thanks :)

hello. First sorry but seems that i am blind or my ear ain't that good :P

At the beginning you are explaining that it starts from all chords pressed down

like you wrote B B F# B D# F#. And then u play and sing along but u don't explain what u play. I know u are pressing those chords but i don't know which order and when i play it i can't grasp it (my key is 77 so sound is little off)  Can u explain please?

[MikesMusic123]

a good question, yes all the notes are there and im not really thinking about which notes to play . If you just play the full chords

and start tapping to the beat , maybe along with the original tune,then slowly walk up and down the chords to the beat.

if you keep the chords straight you cant go wrong

@MikesMusic123 i would still appreciate if you can tell me the chord order :)

[zincthi]

Thanks for the lesson - five stars !

[JoshAhYea]

Sake! Need you sing along!? :S

Apart from that, it is good i guess though, so thanks :)

Meant to add, have you ever tried to play a song called Alone again Naturally by Gilbert O'sullivan, I have the sheet music, but boy complicated chords etc for my level.

Cheers

Hi Mike, you mention about intro to this song, maybe I am not looking hard enough, but have u made a video on the intro, I have worked out some of intro, e.g the SHarp keys in right hand and the Eb octive in left, but after one does that twice, what is next step. Thanks Phil, ps keep up the good work.

[krontokoekoe]
