thank you so much for this! :] i absolutely love fiona apple & her songs are so much fun to sing. i have actually never played piano before and when i saw this tutorial i decided to learn! ..i've already started learning a little bit of it now, and i like how it's coming. if i ever completely finish learning it [it takes forever for me to learn since i'm a very beginner] i'll post a video here of me playing it!(: thanks again! -skylar-

[viiviiixxtactic]

Thank you so much for your comment! :)

I really wish I could help you with "Sullen Girl," but to tell you the truth, that's like the ONLY Fiona song that I just cannot get into. I don't even know how it goes...

Good luck with your search! Sorry I couldn't help.

Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much. :)

You are adorable and this is so helpful, thank you so much!

I seem to read a lot of comments about how complicated her music is. That seems like a huge complement to her talent.

Adam, thanks so much! I am a musician and I usually figure out songs by ear myself! This song was tricky because you need the correct inversions for it to sound right! If you've seen other Paper Bag covers they miss the mark! For someone who claims to "not understand music!!!" you are the only one who knows exactly what you're doing! I watched your tutorial and learned to sing and play in half an hour...see my video post! Keep playing, keep teaching, you're wonderful!

[TheMeeshKeesh]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tutorial!!!! I'm going through a HUGE Fiona Apple phase right now and I just needed to learn this song! It's amazing! Thank you, again. :D
