The song is open to interpretation, that's what music is. He isn't teaching someone else's interpretation, he's teaching his. He may play wrong notes compared to Pat Metheny, or compared to the Bob Curnow version. But since it's his interpretation, notes are not wrong.
ok,maybe i was strong but.....there's a great difference between a simple playing and giving lessons.A person who teaches has a great responsability and in my opinion can not be wrong.the video,i repeat,is full of wrong notes and chords with big mistakes.Try to think if he was a surgeon......or a pilot......can you imagine what a student will do later?Anyway...peace and love.....
hi, frist, thanks a lot for posting this tutorial =D we all love this great song, and im sure everyone wants to play it XD so, you made a big favor to thousand of people here ;D, could you write in the video, the notes you play... see, from above, i can't .. distinguish the notes you play, i mean, i can xD and eventually i will, but.. it hurts at the eyes jejejeje, =) really thanks.
Thanks for your answer . It was only curiosity, I have a yamaha cp33, I prefer its touch of the keys, anyway I have saw you playing a Roland Phantom too so I think you have two keyboards.
Your videos are the best of many of "keyboard teachers" I have seen.
PD. I apologize for my english, I am spanish (Valencia).
PD 1: I am completely agree with you, I do really like the misterious beauty of the melody of "Leter from home".

what kind of a lesson is this with wrong chords e wrong notes everywhere?You really have nothing to teach anyone,you're giving bad examples.You're horrible!Please practice ear training before,but i think it's too late for you
@maxzanotti I think an attempt, no matter how bad, is better than a pointless comment and no talent. If your going to critique, make it helpful, otherwise your wasting yours and others's time. Signed, Dan, 16 year sax player and 13 year pianist.
@LollypopsX7 clever point of view,music is first of all freedom and an attempt is never wrong.but.....when you do an attempt and tou call it "lesson" it's different,you should be an example for your student.I don't think this is the case and that's all.
i wish u would teach this lesson the way u did donald fagen's the goodbye look cos this video quality is hard to see the notes u playing. thanx in advance. by the way u introduced me to Lyl Mays. Pat Metheny. Donald Fagen, Becker Love their music
great to see you again assaf! nice lesson; are you familiar with the first pat metheny album (self-titled)? particularly the opening track, "san lorenzo," the piano solo is my FAVORITE piano passage!
Nice - I am the first to watch - cool. Thank you - just to let you know that I am not a very literate person so I cannot express myself very well - but may just simply say that I really appreciate your great work. Pls keep posting. Thank you so much.
Nice version! Check mine out if you like.

Regardless, your playing is just so beautiful and your chords are so dreamlike.
The older I get the harder it is to moved. But if I could play like you, I'd just zone out all the time.

@maxzanotti is correct, my friend. Lots of wrong notes in here. Check out Borja B. Gabriel's version which is near-perfect!

good, but the sound is not the original, you must practice the termination of accord.

what a really nice coincidence
i just happened to check for any new mangoldproject vids and see one ten hours old
and a lyle mayes piece to boot
thank you very much for adding a new youtube for us admirers of yours
your youtubes are both helpful to study by and enjoyable to just listen to when not
what a kick to have a pat metheny tune to try to learn
thanks again

I'm familiar with all of Pat's albums. Lyle Mays is definitely my favorite jazz pianist. He transcends the usual "scales-and-arps" that plague jazz.
