Sunrise Serenade - jazz piano tutorial

For those who requested it! This is the lengthened version of one of the songs I played in my "Jazz Riffs" tutorial that I posted a few years ago. I finally got around to finishing the song.

Hey John, I really learn a lot with your videos, keep up the good work!

By the way, do you ever plan on making any Queen tutorials?

[pianojohn113]

@sklood I've had a few Queen songs on the list for about 3 years now (Bohemian Rhapsody most often), so I suppose I should try to do them soon. I need about 3 weeks off to get through the entire list!

I know this has probably been requested a million times, but could you do a tutorial on scenes from an italian restaurant? From watching your video I figured out the beginning, but I am stuck on the fast part.

[pianojohn113]

@Zalephyrix Yes, I'm considering doing some kind of tutorial.. that's a difficult song to teach on a video, but perhaps I can work something out where it's not too confusing. That fast part is the hardest one to show, unfortunately!

I know you have a bunch of requests. but man the solo on do you feel like we do by peter frampton. is amazing. ever thought about doing that? the 1976 version. starts at 4:20

[pianojohn113]

@johntsunami I love that solo, the whole song too, but it would be a tough one to effectively teach on a video.

Ive been watching your videos forever now... Played/learned at least 15 of your outstanding tutorials. I've actually preformed 3 songs in front of an audience now, that I learnt from you. Cheers, happy holidays John!

We're so happy to have you back!!!! I also play your tutorials, because you play them originally as possible!!

@SMGG74 I've got a few Pink Floyd songs on the list, I think Great Gig in the Sky might be on there.  I'll add Goodbye Blue Sky for you. The challenge on "Gig" is playing the sax solo on the piano, fun!

[SMGG74]

Hey John, I know you probably have a lot of songs on your list, but have you ever thought of doing a Pink Floyd song? Maybe Goodbye Blue Sky or Great Gig in the Sky? Good songs that should translate to piano I think. Love what your doing by the way :D

@cath901 Thanks, Catherine! I still have to figure out what pinterest is, as I haven't really looked into it yet.. but I thank you for doing that!

[cath901]

Hello John, I pinned your video on my pinterest. Yes, of course, the same as Yannick and holyblob, you know me too. I think you tought me about more than 40 pieces now (that I still have to work hard to have them alright). I will never have enough thanks for you! Take care, Catherine
