It would be great if you could do a tutorial of the chrous:)

[Mario Ajero]

Follow the link that I mentioned in the video to buy the sheet music for the rest of the song including the chorus. Also I've given some lessons on the chorus and bridge to some students who purchased the music over Google+ hangouts. Feel free to add me to your circles.

Hi sir! Really thankful for this tutorial :) Just wanna ask if this covers the whole song? Thank you so much and God bless

[Mario Ajero]

This covers just the opening for the song (which does repeat in the verses). The bridge and chorus have some different chords. You can find the rest in the sheet music that I talked about in the video. Also I've given some lessons on the chorus and bridge to some students over Skype or Google+ hangouts.

Thank you so much Sir for the fast feedback. God bless and Merry Christmas! In any case, do you have a music sheet for the Song "One Friend" by Dan Seals? Been looking here in youtube but no one uploads :( Thank you again.

I found an arrangement of that by doing a search on the MusicNotes website.

Many people have varying degrees of exposure to music education. This lesson obviously was not aimed at virtuoso pianists, but people who are more just fans of this music. If I was able to inspire them to try it out on the piano especially if they never touched a keyboard before, then I feel like I've accomplished something in providing a gateway to have them recreate this song at their own pianos.

Love this song



[Mary Grace]

Wow thanks for that. Ive found it, but the problem is just a beginner.. Wasn't able to read the notes properly. :( Hope you could make a little help and video for that. If only okay but if not I fully understand. Merry Christmas

Thank you so much! I recently moved and have not played my piano in years. As part of my move I got it tuned and its tone is as warm and bright as ever. I feel like I have reunited with an old friend and this tutorial sparked me.
