FAITHFULLY Piano Tutorial & Playthrough

[@billwhitmer9766]

Best tutorial on KZbin!!!! Thanks for the entire song play thru. A+

[@mikebardenpiano]

I appreciate the compliment, thank you!

[@patrickmc.2011]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@KIMBERLY-er9yk]

As a girl who can't read piano music but can play most things by ear, this channel is the best thing ever!!!

[@mikebardenpiano]

So happy to hear that!

[@1Nynja]

Agreed!

[@drlynnhutchinson]

I agree with you and I took piano lessons for a very long time, but could never grasp learning the music notes so I always had played by ear and I was able to fudge it with my piano teacher

[@drlynnhutchinson]

Thank you for your dedication to those of us who are piano inept, the funny thing is My Husband was the drummer for enuffznuff!!

[@panacea407]

Man, I gotta say, that was simply outstanding. I’m a 2nd year adult piano student, and I am going to learn to play this timeless Journey song, thanks to your tutorial. 👏👏

[@Nuttykatiebelle]

Amazing tutorial! Probably the best I've seen on youtube. I've played piano for years but I never learned to read music sheets. I always played by ear and learned from synthesia piano tutorials. Your combination of first talking to us throughly about how its played and then at the end giving us a complete look at the piece, its just great. This is what all piano tutorials on youtube should be.

[@mikebardenpiano]

I appreciate the feedback back and glad you found it helpful!

[@tempus448]

Increible el tutorial! Enorme! excelente explicacion, claridad y detalle! muchas muchas Gracias por el aporte!

[@mikebardenpiano]

¡Gracias por los comentarios generosos! ¡Me alegro de que lo hayas encontrado útil!

[@morerebel4850]

I want to learn this song to play for my friend that I'm asking out on Valentines Day, and this video just saved me so much. Thank you man, God bless.

[@mikebardenpiano]

I love that! Good luck!

[@neiljacildo8776]

This is exactly what I've been looking for! 👏👏

[@mikebardenpiano]

Awesome!

[@estebandejesus2015]

thanks Mike for this lesson. Great job. I have subscribed. I am an old man now, (played guitar for 20+ years) and upon retirement wanted to learn to play piano. Mostly love pop/rock/blues music (70's and 80's). Getting pretty far along (took lessons for 1-year, thru 2nd Alfred book on my own) now and so grateful learning piano forces one to read music accurately, especially if you are going to play with other people. sorry to ramble. this lesson is very accurate, it will help me smooth out the changes. AND to all others, if you play an instrument (no matter how good your ear is) LEARN to read and eventually write music. It is a blessing.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I play guitar but been wanting to build my piano/keyboard skills. I can play very simple thing with both hands but want to take my playing to the next level.

[@TheTriturator]

Love the way you teach! Best tutorial for this song IMHO!

[@georgechacon2648]

I love watching this tutorial many times.....I see something I missed the first time and learn something new the next time....I guess it takes time to sink in . Cool bro!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Awesome

[@simonpower1103]

Love it mate, got most of it when trying to work it out myself but you've filled in all those bits i struggled to find. Thank you👍

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad to hear it! You're welcome

[@butchhernandez8188]

I'll come back here when I learn this piece.

[@jcncrental]

Excellent to play through after tutorial as well as have the song outline visible. Spot on my friend!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad it was helpful!

[@juliabryan8083]

Thank you so much for this 💗

[@jgpix1]

Things I liked: The color coding. I’m not sure what the method is here, but it works. For a mostly play by ear player like me- sometimes all those black keys blend together. Also, all the small details do help. Like displaying chord names, and individual notes (B1, B2 etc. ) Also- a huge part is- having the vocal layover. Sometimes , if you’re someone who plays by memory like me, you get into a pre chorus or something and you forget where your at. Hard to explain but the vocal really helps you keep things in order. Once again, great work!

[@mikebardenpiano]

I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful and thanks for the specific feedback. I'm especially glad the color coding was helpful because there really isn't a method, it's just what my software generated.

[@failingdisciple938]

Excellent lesson!

[@chrisbrendandavis]

Mike, great teaching style. I wish you could do more tutorials!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Thank you! I have been on a break due to moving and it taking some time for me to get the new recording space set up. But I fully plan on getting out more tutorials. Do you have any requests?

[@donaldzarling1767]

Great Job music brother I always loved this song by Journey I’m learning just to play.You did an awesome job.

[@billhasty5197]

Amazing Lesson Mate. Thank You.

[@mikebardenpiano]

My pleasure!

[@donaldzarling1767]

You helped me out big time With the Lover Boy working for wknd Song.

[@jgpix1]

Great video! Very clear and accurate!!!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

[@jackgeary6928]

Nice vid. Your vid confirmed I was playing this correctly. Much appreciated.

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad to hear it!

[@kendalljohnston977]

Great video! Thank you!

[@rexsolomon6325]

Very helpful. Subscribed!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Awesome, thank you!

[@estebandejesus2015]

Mike, do you ave any Moody Blues songs?

[@drlynnhutchinson]

Perfect

[@patrickmc.2011]

Man this is awesome!!! This is really awesome! It’s really one of the only accurate songs I have found. Can you do, “ all cried out” by Lisa Lisa and the cult jam. Or Styx lady95 the 95 version. It’s amazing what other up to you tube. Leaving out notes and chords and wrong it’s a mess even with guitar tabs etc it’s like that. But, This is right in the money!! Amazing really good stuff!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@georgechacon2648]

Wow! Love this Bro! And watching you play along with the song has inspired and encouraged me to want to play with more feeling and harmony when I play . So cool at the school...you rule!

[@mikebardenpiano]

So awesome to hear that. Thanks so much!

[@RueanneDennis]

Thank you

[@tmkcooking]

This is good. I’m not a pro but certainly not an easy song to learn.

[@JamesHu007]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TorsSongs]

Glad I found this video, I am fairly new to piano, though I have played guitar for years, this video explains a lot of helpful tips and a visual demo- took me over a month to learn how to sing it like Steve Perry memorizing the lyrics and practicing the vocals, but I bet it takes 6 months minimum to learn to play it on the piano... but hey, The crowds love a good cover of this song so what are you gonna do... thanks for posting this!!

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad it's helpful. Good luck on the learning process!

[@1Nynja]

OMG, where have you been?! Best tutorial for this song. Love how you teach, too. I subscribed. Could you make more tutorials for Journey? Open Arms is another great one. Also any simple and advanced Coldplay songs would be awesome.

[@mikebardenpiano]

I have some more Journey I can do for sure. Open Arms is one of them.

[@dcshred1170]

Thanks again bro

[@dadztv9560]

Thank you for this tutorial.

[@mikebardenpiano]

You are welcome!

[@AtomizedSound]

Nice! Just need to show us those synth parts too!

[@johnsalaman1315]

That was great,,subbed for sure...

[@mikebardenpiano]

Thank you!

[@patrickmc.2011]

There is a part you skipped after, Restless hearts vs then it goes sleep alone tonight sending all my love on the wi re Then there are like three chords so after the wire it does like three chord run up before the Em gm#m B, I am sure it’s all the chords already played but. It will take me way to long to ear it lol. You play the part in the play through i seee I got it. Thanks again, I have tried a lot of other online lessons. This works best for me and specially accurate like this. I have played guitar since I was 13 and I play other instruments so I have a pretty good foundation, but piano is my weakest instrument. I can’t wait for you to do some more videos. This channel will be huge man if you put the time Into it. Awesome Lesson!!! I would pay for these membership or whatever just An FYI!!

[@mikebardenpiano]

I appreciate that! I gotta get my business model figured out. lol

[@WayneMusicianUK]

Awesome Mike! Thanks so much for this… I’d been playing it this way pretty much, just the wrong inversion on the first chord.. this has helped me tremendously 👍🏻☺️

[@mikebardenpiano]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback!

[@sheilac4852]

I can’t even play my piano when it’s going this slow lol I want to play SO bad. Love the sound of a piano!!!

[@randyp867]

I noticed on a couple of parts, you adjusted some settings on the fly but, I couldn't notice any changes to sound, tone etc.. what were you changing? Just curious. Also, I LOVE your format. First CLEARLY explaining all of the sections. Then, playing it all together to see how it all fits. If I get stuck on a part, I can just flip to that part of the song. Love it. Keep up the amazing work. 👏

[@mikebardenpiano]

I wasn't changing tone at all, I was actually just turning pages on my tablet as I was reading the part. :-)

[@mikebardenpiano]

But thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you find it helpful!

[@tamiaustin3393]

Do you have the chord sheet for this on your website by chance?

[@mikebardenpiano]

Hi Tami, unfortunately I do not. However I did put the link in the description where you can get the same sheet music that I used as a reference. Hope that helps!

[@Squilfinator]

Going through a tough time with my girlfriend right now and we decided we need a break. We are both hurting, but need time to improve as individuals. I don't know how to play piano, but I figured I'd learn how, and start with this song.

[@mikebardenpiano]

Tough times, sorry to hear that! Good luck with the song and the relationship.
