Billy Joel's Lullabye INTRO tutorial

[rafaelg45]

Thanks for posting these videos.  I'm learning to play Billy Joel's songs.

[pianojohn113]

@rafaelg45 No problem!

[JadeForMercury]

can this be played the same an octave higher/lower?

[pianojohn113]

@JadeForMercury It can be played perhaps an octave higher, but not lower. The chords would sound too muddy that far below Middle C.

[gino066]

oh.. Billy Joel... not Shawn Mullins.  everythings gonna be alright.. rockabye.

[leojohnpaul1]

i'm writing a song since 15., but i'm only an amateur.,, but i think my compositions was so good in ear., somebody says it is great!

[clarke452]

hey john, your tutorials and covers are awesome. I was wondering if you ever wrote any original songs for the piano, if so if maybe we could get a video on one?

thanks

[pianojohn113]

@clarke452 Glad you like them, thanks! I actually don't write much original stuff at all.. everything I've ever written winds up sounding like something else that's already out there. So I just stick to arranging other people's songs. Wish I had the talent to write music, though, I'd love to be able to do that.

[pianojohn113]

[trickyfeet]

Can you make a tutorial for a song called " I Don't Like Mondays" By The Boomtown Rats?

[gdich]

Thanks so much. Would you consider giving a lesson on Cast Your Fate to the Wind. Thanks.

[Steveo2395]

wait - you have text updates?!? I just read that on your page!

[pianojohn113]

@Steveo2395 I don't have have text updates on the YouTube account, just among my own personal circle of friends.. I can auto-text them race results as I pass through certain mile markers.

[Negonio]

[pianojohn113]

You're very welcome! :-)

[TheWackysam]

Awsome, but did you have to stop?

[pianojohn113]

The rest is coming soon. I had to break up the tutorial into smaller sections because of the 10-minute limit on videos.

[rock00yo00yo]

Hello could teach the song "Dont let me down" and "Come together" by The Beatles, but only the piano leading ok? thanks and very good videos I have done much have a rock band and I am a pianist and vocalist and tell him everything about piano, I owe to you shortly to upload video in which we thank him for his contributions and greetings from Mexico.

Thank you, thank you, thank you John! Five-starred, favourited. As confusing as this song may be to teach, your instructions are simple and crystal-clear. It's extremely easy to follow along thanks to your instructions!
