Happy To Serve (The Song): Jonny's Daydreaming Piano Bridge

[@David-Hope]

Fantastic, thank you. Always played this with right hand and found the fourth chord change tricky, now I know why.

[@a_d_s5361]

Wow you’re a genius.

[@MacianArt]

I’m so happy this channel exists

[@goodnoyz]

great channel

[@OtaConnor]

Bless you

[@calmambientstudyandreading3284]

I don't want much for my birthday. I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy and loved. Wishing you a good day.

[@asmusavlund3074]

I never noticed that the main melody was hidden in the bridge melody. So cool!

[@santiagorojaspiaggio]

OMG, i watched him play and i understood what kind of thing he was doing, instead of the classic only-right hand sheet everyone was doing; but i didn't know exactly which was the pattern nor if there was gonna be somebody talking about this. Great thing to find you.

[@felipegarcia7924]

Loved the Jacob reference 😂 I've never saw that original pattern in b section, because I have to use the left hand for the bass notes, but it's amazing thank you

[@jcjendly1466]

I started the piano last week, it's so cool to have it explained the way Jonny exactly plays it, and not only with the right hand (which I was trying to do for the last hour) as in some other tutorials for this song. Thanks

[@coolbubble]

I’ll add that if you listen to the Zermatt performance of this song, even Thom could’ve benefited from this tutorial : )

[@maedst398]

I play this with one hand as a nice exercise

[@mannuelmanny3402]

Love this Song

[@CreativeLemming1]

Joe just keeps giving, excellent 👌

[@tinocano5009]

This arpegio is so amazing. Congratulations!!

[@jimbaaab]

Oh, and nice work, fella 😉

[@marcocopococolococo]

Beautiful song

[@porouscrump]

Helped a ton! I've been avoiding playing this section of music for... years now. Lol. But I just memorized it from this video, so it's perfect. Thank you.

[@sonamgupta9975]

Such a good teacher! I miss that only guitar lesson I got, once upon a time ago😂

[@ItsTompp]

Dang I’ve always played the bridge just with my right hand but all the same notes, I didn’t know he did it with both hands

[@TwitchSalivate]

omg... i can't believe i never realized the right hand continues the same figure as before... i've always "faked" it with a sort of ad libbing of the chords.

[@iscreamforicecrem2322]

Loved it!

[@sebastienbarbin7132]

By the way, thank you! You did an excellent job as always!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Super interesting to hear it broken down like this. That B section always makes me think of The Legend Of Zelda for some reason.

[@Andrew19650]

I love it

[@vincenttaiki220]

Yeeaahh thank you so much!!❤

[@kpman644]

Learned something new here. Always played B section melody with just my right hand. I then just layer the fifths with my left. Did not know Johnny played this with his right and left. Genuinely couldn’t distinguish until you slowed down 😅

[@farfle10]

Yeah if you're playing a solo rendition I feel like you got to play it with right hand only and add the bass with the left. But this is clearly how it was written, and it kind of blew my mind.

[@sebastienbarbin7132]

It is a fantastic pattern, that gives the greatest melody with just a set of two notes and one of three notes. It took me some time to realize that the A-D-E notes were still there. I could not even figure out the notes on the keyboards, until one day I was walking and listening to the song with my headphones and I though that it has to be a conceptual idea where the two hands represents the dreamer and its outside reality, not on the same rhythm during the verse, but eventually overlapping during the interlude. I tried it at home and the melody magically appeared out of nowhere! I read somewhere that some of theses notes are ambiguous and therefore our brain can be confused and hear them in two different ways, like an optical illusion.

[@ItsTompp]

Yeah it definitely took me a while to get the bridge down

[@hammerhei7646]

Never occurred to me that the A-D-E were embedded into that part of the song and now my mind is blown. This whole idea of playing a melody and then playing another one in a different time signature on the off beats is just so good and its just another writing technique I'm going to be stealing from Radiohead Also there's another Jonny Greenwood piece that uses this technique, it's called Three miniatures from water and its the first piece on the Jonny Greenwood tiny desk concert. I'm pretty sure the opening piano part has Eb-G-Bb played on the left land while the right hand plays C-Eb-G-A on the off beats and its such a haunting and hypnotizing melody. Anyway look forward to more videos like these (Oh and just one more thing, did you see the smile concert it was so bloody good)

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Yes I did! It was so good!

[@thomasnoller7818]

Thank you so much for this. The way how to play this interlude without botching particularly the last sequence has puzzled me for the longest time. In literally all other tutorials I've seen on this, the (advanced) players play everything with the right hand, but it seems impossible to me, on the last sequence, to squeeze (my rather thick) middle and ring fingers on the two neighboring white keys while stretching the thumb all across and without hitting wrong keys and keeping the pattern clean. Question is, however, what does he do when the first four riffs have been played, because in the song this is when left-hand chords come in on the second turn, so he must then also play every tone of the interlude with his right hand...

[@JoeEdelmann3]

I’ve always (and I think Jonny does live) kept going with just the arpeggio part! In the recording they may have layered two tracks to bring the chords back in, or those root notes/5ths could be covered by the bass! The arpeggios just sound too clean to not have been played with that two-hand technique… but it’s possible

[@thomasnoller7818]

Best way for me is now (including left hand): play solo arpeggio with your overlapping technique on the first round, then, with left hand coming in loop 1 (twice), loop 2 (twice) and loop 3 with the right hand only, A octave on the left, then play loop 2(!) again once but with B flat and then F. Sounds authentic enough and makes me avoid having to play the convoluted loop 4 with one hand only.

[@julioguzman6216]

Yessss!

[@seanmichael2917]

Have you gone over anything from the eraser?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Haven’t dissected yet, but did cover the title track w Taka! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIqZYaernJ2jbck

[@vainilla3632]

Great pattern, somehow I have been able to play this melody with one hand and using my right hand to make the root notes, awesome atmosphere. Also, when is a new cover of atoms for peace coming? "Unless" has great potential

[@jimbaaab]

Poly what now?! Just when I thought it couldn’t get tricker than Weird Fishes. Jonny might just be a polymath!

[@roryhensen]

finally

[@sangucci8916]

You made a comment about the left hand as having the quarter notes but I've always heard it in 3/4 with the right hand getting the beat. Have I been hearing it wrong the whole time?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

I think based on the rhythm/repeats of the bassline/chord changes it’s technically 4/4, but I agree there is purposeful ambiguity there, especially without any drums!

[@sangucci8916]

@@JoeEdelmann3 Whoa that's cool. Definitely not the first time I've had to rethink a Radiohead song...

El vídeo mas esperado :v gracias!!! Oye podrías hacer un vídeo de cómo cantar como el Tom Yorke?? :C por favor

[@JoeEdelmann3]

lo siento, tal vez pronto! ☺️

[@endiox908]

Do you have plans to play a cover of daily mail of Radiohead?? Tks.

One from my earlier days! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4apaqlsd7ubq7M

Genial porq no era capaz de tocarla bien

[@1234epicfail]

Have you ever taken singing lessons? Or were you just born with a golden voice?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

☺️ no real formal lessons, just trial and error! I’d actually like to learn a bit more about technique though.

[@1234epicfail]

@@JoeEdelmann3 you should make a tutorial on how you taught yourself how to sing and how you approach the vocals in your covers! I feel like they don’t get enough attention
