  • @RangerSteeve thanks! Check it out /watch?v=0N6IVFs9bR4&feature=

  • 1:45 "grace note" - Cool! I didn't know that was what that was called.

    Excellent tutorial, sir.

  • @AdamLore Great! Glad you got something out of watching it!

  • 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.

  • really - REALLY cool! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE 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.

    

  • Great video, but could you explain what you are doing at the 2:14 mark?
