Hi John! I got an idea. I really wanted to learn this song and I found some guys on youtube, who made tutorials for this song, but they want to pay for it. So I considered it and I'd be more than happy to pay you instead of these guys, cause you're absolutely best player on youtube. I know it's not about money, but what about if nine other people with me together give you $10 each? You deserve it for learning us great songs and it could be nice inspiration for you :)

Well, your comment got me thinking that maybe I should just go ahead and give it a shot, and see what kind of tutorial I can come up with. I have no idea how to teach this song in a clear and understandable way that works on a video, but since so many have asked, I could at least make an attempt, I suppose!

Look John. I don't know how to play this song and one year ago, I was barely able to play piano. Now, thanks to you, I play New York State of Mind kind of fluently, I may upload a video as a proof :) and some other songs too - all just because of you being such a great teacher.

Please do upload it if can, I'd love to see your performance! I'm glad my tutorials were helpful to you on it, and I appreciate the kind comments, thanks. :-)

Alright, I'll do it in next two weeks. I need new microphone first.

Oh and I always wanted to ask you: how do you do that view from above? Not that I want to do it, but I was always curious about this.

I've got a special stand that I fashoined out of a tripod and a few other pieces that I can prop over the keyboard. It's not ideal, but it works most of the time.

Wow, thats SO GOOD! especially the piano solo, thats crazy!

You should definatly do a tutorial (if not for the whole song, than definalty the piano solo), you have a lot of requests for it, and im sure you would do a great job, based upon your other tutorials and just the way you played this song! Thanks so much! ;)

everyone wants a tutorial. PLEASE POST ONE. YOU'RE AMAZING.

[PussPussProductions]

PLEASE do a tutorial for AT LEAST the solo part. You ARE the best piano player on youtube.

[jurbanek2704]

I saw some guys trying to teach Italian Restaurant, their style is not as good as yours and still, they do the videos, so I believe You can do it absolutely great. I believe you, man, give it a try!

[jurbanek2704]

So if there's someone, who agrees with me and wants to give John a little tip for making the tutorial, please give me thumbs up, or post a comment. And I'm sure there will be more then 10 people, cause we love your tutorials and we love this song :)
