Just curious but why do you bounce your thumb and play so many notes with it (right hand)? It's not at all how the song goes you know. I appreciate your efforts and anyone that does a tutorial for anyone is great in my book, but just curious is it because you hear that? See it in sheet music? Or what? If so, what's the author because it's not at all accurate. You do a great job otherwise. I'm getting a camcorder soon so will show you what I mean as soon as I can.

@Danbo342..hey, thanks for the comments. i play so many notes with my thumb cuz i have a pretty cheap piano and the notes don't ring out very well on it. i find that if i'm playing a normal piano or a nicer electric piano, i don't add all the extra notes, cuz the sound rings out louder and with more sustain. i think it sounds kinda dull on my piano if i don't add all the extra notes. i'll pay a little more attention to that though. maybe it isn't as necessary as i think. thanks again. -charlie

Excellent work Chassy. Thanks for taking the time to go through this so that we can catch what you are doing. I learn better visually and I am also a "learn by ear" type. Keep up the good work!

P.S. Can you do Carrie by Europe? I love the piano work in that tune also.

[chassy500]

thanks a lot for the comments. it does take some time to put together these tutorials, so it's always nice to hear that they help.  i'll take a listen to Carrie. excellent song. thanks again.

[chassy500]

The best tutorial for this song! I finished learning it and uploaded my own video thanks to chassy although mine's kinda out of the proper timing. Thanks again chassy. I hope to learn more tutorials from you. Hope you could add total eclipse of the heart next. :-)

Loved the video but towards the verse you started to lose me , can you please possibly write notes ? Or add them to the description ? Thanks and Great vid. Earned my sub

@chassy500

Thanks for the fast reply, Charlie! That makes sense and I know exactly what you're talking about. I tend to be a heavy pedal pusher on the sustain for similar reasons. In my head I hear it exactly as I do the album but later if I record it I can hear what things that my friends point out of me over sustaining. Again, great job, I was just curious. I don't read music well at all and as I learn I see so many books very wrong. Makes me glad I never bothered reading it before ;)

hey Chassy any chance of you doing "Right here waIting for you" by Richard Marx? Your the best teacher on the net that i can find...i'm a noob and mostly rythem guitar player...all by ear...wish i could read music :/ but if you can teach me " I can't fight this feeling anymore" and have it spot on then you can do anything! thx so much for taking your time and effort to help up pleebs out here fighting just to enjoy ourselves lol God Bless xShadowWolfx
