Could you perhaps take the time someday to make a tutorial for "Still Fighting It"? I can't believe there are none out there... :(

[SeWonFeldsott]

As I have told others, I am currently preoccupied with school work among other things and and don't have a whole lot of time to learn new songs. Once I start learning new songs again I will definitely take your request into consideration. :)

[RockyBrody]

Do you think you can do a tutorial for- Five For Fighting's- 100 Years? All the other tutorials out there are awful.

Thanks.

I have been wanting to learn this song for awhile now but unfortunately have hit a rut with practicing piano due to school and other hobbies of mine. It'll be near the top of my list and hopefully once I get the piano ball rolling again they'll start coming out like baby rabbits.

About 2 weeks ago I stumbled across your tutorial while trying to plan a gift for my husband for our 16th anniversary using the song "The Luckiest".Last night, after coming home from dinner we entered our front door and walked through a path of lit candles from door to piano where I played and serenaded him. He was in shock(I haven't played piano seriously in years)and told me that it was the best gift he ever got. So I thank you so much for teaching me, and I hope to learn more songs from you.

And that alone makes doing this whole thing more than worth it :)

My hands and wrists hurt so badly. But this is a great tutorial.

[jaytagle]

Very Nice of you sir!:-) Thank you very much for this!!!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Have just started learning the piano and this have worked through this one bar by bar, and it is definitely very well put together.

On the bass run in the third bar, F# C# F# A F#, I actually think the fingering is a lot cleaner if you use your thumb on the A, seeing as you'll be hitting the A with that thumb in the next passage anyway. Maybe it's just that my fingers have not quite figured out what they are doing yet though.

Great video!

AWESOME. BUT PLEASE PUT UP A TUTORIAL FOR STILL FIGHTING IT. I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!

[dannyd1572]

This is great! I'm learning a lot. Do you take requests? Think you could teach us Oh No by the Commodores?

[dannyd1572]

Thanks! I've played this over and over and have learned a good portion of it tonight. All musicians were given a talent and we all should share our knowledge of it and pass it on to others just like the gift it was given to us. Thanks for posting!

at a quick glance this tutorial looks great. I'm definitely going to try to learn this next. Thanks ahead of time. I know how much effort it takes to make tutorials...

[piratessfifi]
