Beverly Hills Cop - Axel Foley Theme Lesson [Slow]

Me playing the famous tune for keyboard lesson (very slow)! Please comment!

This is a very creative and straightforward way of learning this score.

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j no dude. Axel F was created by Harold Faltermayer. His orginal version of this was in f#. But in "Beverly Hills Cop" it was played in D. And most people now learn it in F simply because its easier to learn. The "F" in "Axel F" does not symbolize the key the song is in, but the character Eddie Murphey played as in Beverly Hills cop. (Axel Foley)

thanks for the help bro, was trying to figure this out on my iphone but finally realized it wouldnt go cause i dont have enough keys, hahahaha

[@sandromaster]

thanks :D

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 no its in f ask any axel f player its just the other way starts with the white key not the black

[@Magicmaker1234]

@VirtuaTV No. -facepalm- Common misconseption. Axel F does not refer to the scale it is in, it refers to Eddie Murphies character "Axel Foley" from "The beverly hills cop". Harold Faltermayer published this piece in f#. Even tho in the movie it was played in d. F is not correct.

[@Magicmaker1234]

no, its correct. The ORIGINAL axel f is played in f# as shown here. Most pianists have twisted it down to f and some down to middle c

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j how many times do i have to tell you that the version we've all listened to is in F? BUT, the original (the version that wasnt on an album) was in F#. Therefor, the ORIGINAL is F#, the released version is F.

[@VirtuaTV]

@Magicmaker1234 Yet the released recording is in F. I didn't mention the title, although if it was named soley after the character, it would be called Axel Foley, not Axel F. Seriously, though. If you actually listen to the track, it's in F. Surely, you can hear it.

[@VirtuaTV]

@Magicmaker1234 Actually, no. The original is in F. Buy the track and play along with it and you should see. If not, there is no hope for you.

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j are you listening to me? im sorry man, but you can look it up. He developed it in F#. just its easier to play in F, and sounds almost exactly like the original.

[@oelieH]

I believe it is in C minor

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j uh, backstage? You went backstage to meet Harold Faltermayer? Why is it i think you're full of it?

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 not in the black key in f not f# the white keys

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 backstage 1997

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 IM RIGHT GO ASK HAROLD

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j whatever helps you sleep at night.

[@ladymopar12j]

@sandromaster its wrong

[@Magicmaker1234]

@ladymopar12j im honestly tired of repeating myself. Ive heard the original, not the version everyone is accustom to now. And it's in F#. but im sick of this, so im gonna have to end it here. have a wonderful day.

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 its the truth im sorry but it it started in f but overtime f# made a song out of it your its in f# to but f first

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 how many fucking times do ihave to say it its not in f# listen to the sounds in the song its in f

[@ladymopar12j]

@Magicmaker1234 its in fucking f not #f listen to the song
