As a 6 month, semi self-taught piano student, I'm getting a good workout with your tutorial, and I appreciate it for two reasons. First of all, it sounds accurate,and secondly, by not showing every finger playing every note, I have to listen harder which helps me to learn it better, and to everyone complaining about your not spelling it out note for note, people, do a little homework, look up what a 6th chord is, a slash chord is, etc... Thanks for your time and for a fine job !!!!

@LOOKN450 You're very welcome! I'm glad you got more out of it than just the notes. I don't put the camera directly above the keyboard because I don't have anything to hold it there. I'll continue doing harder songs by saying the chords and going note-by-note for easier parts.

Hey man i could use your help cause my dream is to be a country musician but i want to play piano and sing....can you help me out...you prolly don't read comments on these vids but i thought i would try anyway

[Pianoman2489]

@brumfieldcalvin I read the comments. What kind of help do you need?

[HardyHarHarlans]

at 1:49 , what are the notes that he is playing on the left hand?

[Pianoman2489]

@HardyHarHarlans E, B, and the E one octave above.

i have to see your fingers to be able to learn it could you make a vidio with the camera above you looking down at your fingers ( a beginner) thats all i need to be able to see all the fingers and i have found i can learn a lot of songs if they show it this away

[monkeykid3250]

This dude sheetmusic211 stole your vid, man. He added sheet music in the comments and called it his own.

Good stuff, a great help!

[fsumike2000]

The most accurate version I've seen yet. I just wish I could see the keys you are hitting a little better (I don't really know my chords on piano yet...)

[PinkFloyd4dummies]

Recap: G(9) G7 C(9) Cm6 G (D/F#) Em A7 D (G Gmaj7 G7)

G D "don't you draw the queen of diamond" Em Bm C G D/F# Em C G D/F#

Am7 D6 A G

This is indeed a very good tutorial, and I agree with LOOKN450. The fact that your are giving chords is a lot better than giving note by note. Things you could also explain to us (if you have some time): how some of the chords you play along are inverted so they can be played more easily on the piano, or the nice trick of how changing the base of a chord changes the whole chord sometime (ame thing as inverted chords). Anyway THANKS for the lesson :-)

@IndyJ10 it looks extremely similar to a Yamaha MO8 (i have one and it's really good) only difference i saw was the buttons were moved around a little. but yeah try searching Yamaha MO8
