Hi Ben, Firstly, when I've trawled youtube for 'proper' versions of piano covers (ie in the right key and playing full chords, not one finger stuff)I was delighted to find your material.I find the tutorials clear and was able to play 'perfect day' and 'angels' to a reasonable standard in one day from your videos. Secondly however, I was very unimpressed with some of the comments people have left. I just wanted to say we all learn different and it suits me just fine. Thank you.

Olivers Army..?

You're welcome, thanks for the comment. I understand some of the difficulties. I work on the basis that people who can learn from my tutorials are not complete beginners and know the basic chords. Cheers again.

Very nice, but you should go more slow for piano player that aren't very experienced yet.

Great thanks, you're a good player! :)

Now can you make a version of the you playing the whole song?

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial! Does anyone know if this is risky to post because of copyright? I have posted covers before which got removed because the artist wanted full copyright, and one more will close my account. Anyone have any info?

You guys, there's different ways to play these chords.... the piano is just the same 12 notes repeated over and over depending on how many octaves you have. If you find a certain chord hard to play, just look at, and look at what other keys are nearby and you can move up or down... It's probably cheating, and not proper technique, but I don't give two shits about technique, it's probably why I'm not in fucking Julliard or whatever.

great video. I'm just starting and I found your lesson outstanding. all you people griping about how fast it is: youtube has a pause button - if there's parts of the song you get stuck on use it...I've also found that p i a n o c h o r d d i c t i o n a r y d o t c o m was a great tool to use for figuring out the inversion of the d flat and a flat chords that I was having trouble with.

@sportthing try learning to play piano first... its the same with guitar, beginner's try to already start off with covering before they know their basic block chords. Take the time to learn the basic rudimentary elements of a piano before you jump into full scale songs.. It is possible to attempt learning the way you are but you'll simply never have a good foundation to learn other songs with. I'm not trying to be rude- but please, do yourself a favor and start with the basics the way it shud be

It's a shame that this is too fast and doesn't explain anything. This is the only way I can learn piano, as I find it very difficult to read sheet music. You need to say the notes of the riffs as you play them and go a lot slower. This is the only correct version on Youtube it seems as well.

way way way too fast.
