How to play Intro from "The Winner takes it all" (ABBA)

[mn19865]

Great played !!

[leoj227]

This is by far THE BEST and most accurate version of the Winner Takes It All. Lot's of videos of people playing it in different keys and adding their own flavor to it, which to me is annoying. Right now I can only play up to about 3:50, and at the very slow tempo, but I'm having fun trying to learn ot. Do you know where I can get a copy of the sheet music?

[JulieSmooch]

lol you gotta have big hands for that :P

[tfromkansas]

I watched this many times over and thanks to you I can now play the Winner Takes It All intro! Thanks!!!!!!

[cazzovuoi1000]

very very good :) you're the greatest piano teacher on youtube :)

[securitythug]

thanks bro, awesome tutorial

[BLACKOUTMK2]

How do you all learn this so easily? I can't learn the first 3 seconds after half an hour.

[bolawarrior]

Oh yes, NO VOICE = the best tutorial. thanks m8

[xoxbizouxox]

do you have the rest of the song on tutorial?? (sorry for my bad english ^^)

[mynameisvanille]

@xoxbizouxox français? ;D

[amanrach]

Marcus....thanks! Great tutorial and I agree with Olybeast1...best tutorial on youtube!

[louie824]

i really like the way you teach piano!!!



[erantha]

Hey Sir Elton John.... superb.. could you upload the whole song ?

[oostvoornehc]

i,ve only got one arm and i can play this.

I was very tricky in the beginning,but by this tutorial i learned it.

[Skyklop]

brilliant. thanx so much

[yaF0Lk]

I can't seem to get the left hand

[mynameisvanille]

@yaF0Lk did you watch the whole tutorial? he does the left hand really slow at about 2:40 . Good luck :)

[phil946]

[phil946]

[explosiv95]

[LoHeHaPoMaandPr]

[LiNDuSHKaaaa4444]

thank u sooooo much!!! :))

[dmitry408]

Огромное спасибо!

[wittyworldlee]

i like ur username :)

[mcervantes]

this is the best tutorial because the others play in another tone, with diferent chords and diferent technique, this is the original tone of the song, thanks & congratulations

[hedgehogdude123]

this song is actually harder to play than i thought it would be coz of the big jumps in the left hand. nice tutorial

[makmegs]

you sir are brilliant!!!!

[brettg2222]

I saw Faith Hill singing this along with Benny and was inspired to learn it. Great job! Thanks for posting.

[normanpinto]

I agree :-)

[AleDag93]

That's such a wonderful job, dude! it sounds really great and finally I'll learn how to play this breathtaking song *_*

[rafapiloto175]

Wich Roland is that one?

[MarieCatherine445]

Awesome! thanks!!!

[Lrltn26]

Yes, I would definately agree with Olybeast1. This is by far the best tutorial for this on youtube. Thanks SirEltonJohn. The accompaniment of the left hand is very unique but is lovely.

[idawell]

hello sir elton. john.. now i have learnt from you ballade pour adelaine and the intro of the winner takes it all,what i am thank you for.. of all myheart. but where is ´part two of the winner takes it all. i´m ready now to lerarn the rest. thank you.i have lot of requests if you wants some

[Olybeast1]

definitely the best tutorial for this song on youtube.

[Olybeast1]

amazing

[steinway1923]

This is not only beautifully played but the tutorial is so well thought out and put together. Thank you so much SirEltonJohn. You are a star (5 stars in fact)

[frisby71]

It is so nice to see someone play it for you! It made it possible for me to 'read' the right notes and learn it myself. Now the only problem is to get it in the right tempo!! :) Thanks and 5 stars to you!

[helenchg]

hard to combine the 2 hands together!!! XD... Help!!!

[ewersonspereira]

Com esta ilustração, consegui aprender a música. Obrigado!!!!!!

[DjAnOObiS]

Hard play left hand)....really play?)

[oostvoornehc]

i have got only one hand,and i can play this,greetings from holland

[onceinthebackyard]

Thanks so much. I've only heard a few ABBA songs, and those I would consider guilty pleasures, but I stumbled upon this one track other day and fell in love with the chord changes. Well done on the tutorial. Very clear.

[maidenwanderlust]

Thank you for posting this tutorial. I was going crazy trying to figure out the left hand before. Gorgeous song!

[gary72carol61]

Always loved the piano on this song, How lovely is this. Wow I feel the need to go and get a keyboard and try that! Thats what great music does. Will post a video one day of me putting this together, I hope.

[pshapiro]

very helpful. thanks!

[MrMusicSweden]

Just awesome!

[BenjyBlue]

I've never played the piano, it took me two weeks to play it like he does. But it's a little tricky for sure. You just have to stay tuned to it.

[MayonnaiseRon]

If I play the notes for the left hand...no problem. If I play the notes for the right ...no problem! If I play them together BIG problem!

This is not easy! I've been trying for a few hours now and I've come up with my own unique piece of music!!!

I'll keep at it for now, how's everyone else coping?

Nice tutorial, thank you.

[cole89io]

1.04.......is for remember me...it isn't acomment...sorry

[BenjyBlue]

Believe me.. if you wanna know how it looked like when Benny wrote this piece together with Björn on his piano 1980 it must have looked like from minute 1:03 of this demonstration. Only single strikes; then whole chords and finally the playful and dreamy improvisation which makes it so big at the end. The main tune of a hit record is always simple to play... but hard to find.

[Skyklop]

left hand is quite difficult, hope will get this in two weeks, cool video, thanx a lot !

[SabineOctober]

Ok now I learned how to play the song, teach me now how to get a Roland Keyboard ! hahaha thx a million

[brendanbarr]

Thanks a million for this you make it look easy. I think i might take up lessons at 44, hope its not too late:-) i would love to play this amazing piece

[dmcgrath21]

Do you have any sheet music for this? If so please let me know where I can download it from - fantastic job!
