AWESOME!! I'm going to start working through this! I really suck at reading music so it was hard for me to learn from the book.. this is the way to go :)

@tikalal Bm7 - E7 - Am7 - D7 - Gmaj7 - F#7sus. What I am talking about before that refers to the first notes in the left hand (so A, D, G, C, F). Sorry I didn't explain that well. But you will notice the roots of the chords go up in fourths (or down in fifths). B-E = 4th up, E-A = 4th up (played as a 5th down), A-D = 4th, D-G = 4th, etc. This is so hard to explain in comments, I really apologize. This was my first piano tutorial video so as you can see I have room to improve! Good luck :)

i am having dificulty for 3 reasons, one, the piano is not tuned to 440, i am using a keyboard and it clashes, second, i can't see the keys, 3rd you are not going note by note. do you have the music for this song? i am trying to start a tribute band.

great job on figuring this out!

Thanks a ton! I was never happy with the Hal Leonard version. Combining your ideas and and the transcription have finally given me the sound I wanted. I especially like your baseline through the chorus. Would love to see you do the solo.

very helpful, thank you. next time though, can you put the camera somewhere so we can actually see the keys you're playing??

This is what youtube really is for! : ) Thanks, man! And you play a Steinway. Great.
