How To Play "Now And Then" by The Beatles [Piano Tutorial/Chords for Singing]

[@PianowithNate]

Hi Everyone, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the words of support, empathy, and encouragement. I don't have it in me to respond to each one individually right now, but I read them all, and it means a lot. I feel very lucky to have such an incredible community of thoughtful music lovers here 💜💜💜

[@em-rg3xf]

Take care Nate. We all love this channel. Big love from UK

[@mrwhoopie727]

Can you do a tutorial for I can’t tell you why by the Eagle’s

[@DanteSpenkelink]

Hey Nate! I'm so sorry to hear about your breakup, I hope you're feeling better now. I've tried to play this song a little bit here and there already. But now that you've uploaded your tutorial, I can really get to work! :)

[@colleenkyde8793]

Hi Nate. Im so sorry what you've gone through. Its never easy but you are strong. I love this song and you have done it justice. I love how you make it so easy to understand for everyone. Hang in there. Music is therapy. We are so lucky to have you teaching us. Thank you Nate.

[@johnedwardpiano]

I have always admired John Lennon. As a Beatle and as a solo artist. I was never abke to fully appreciate the genius of his music until I started learning piano

[@ripleyhrgiger4669]

Hey Nate! I love this song too and as usual your lessons are fun and easy to follow! Try to remember that you're worth caring for and being loved, Nate. Breakups can be the absolute worst thing; but most of the time they're better for both parties. Sometimes letting go is what we need to do to be able grow - and letting go of someone you care for is the hardest thing in the world to do. Especially when you feel warm when you think of their smile, their laugh, and the way they look at you. But you know deep down that by being together you're holding them back from being the best that they be, or yourself, or both. THat's when you know it's time to let go. Keep up the good work, Nate! And keep your chin up the best you can right now - you will be stronger from all of this if you keep pushing forward and recognize that you DO matter and you are appreciated. And that goes for everyone reading this, okay? Be good to each other and try to remember that we're all individuals and that breakups and relationship issues happen. Sometimes you can't make things workout; and that's okay. ALright? Damn I want to hug everyone.

You're quite inspirational as a musician, and as a person, and we appreciate you.

[@DarthMcKimm]

Thank you so much for sharing. I love this song too and your tutorial couldn’t be clearer or more accessible. I hope you’re recovering from your break-up. These things are never easy…😢

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you so much!

[@philmaharlikajr.8862]

You are the best Nate! I came across your tutorial for Straberry Fields Forever just few hours ago…your video was uploaded some years ago. I am a self taught piano begineer and I find your teaching style very straight forward and no waste…everything is relevant no other extra bla bla bla like the orhers…but most importantly, very accurate and faithful to the original recording…then after few hours…here you are! Just uploaded NOW AND THEN….so timely! Thank you for doing this…really appreciate it! 🍏 Beatles Forever 🍓♥️😎

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@panacheshahGamer]

What's up nate! Thanks a lot about the song but it is really sad to hear about your breakup... Im so sorry for you and hope your fine, thank you for giving me wonderful memories with this song as well.

[@jimmyrotten1652]

This is a great video not just for how accurately play the song, but how to play chords on piano in general.

[@PianowithNate]

Glad to hear it!!

[@johnedwardpiano]

I am so sorry to hear about what you're going through. You were there for me when my wife passed away. You made the tutorial for "Woman" by John Lennon when I requested it. I am proud to say that I have learned that song. I can play it fairly well from memory. I am so grateful to learn this wonderful new Beatles song. That is the amazing thing about music. The way a certain song will resonate to a particular exoerience in your life or how memories and songs are tied together. When my wife became ill, learning the piano became my therapy. You have been the most wonderful teacher. You have helped me through some tough times these past two years. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. You are performing a wonderful service. Nate, you have inspired me to keep playing piano

[@PianowithNate]

[@gregwilliams2011]

Wonderful. Many thanks Nate. I'll be trying this first thing tomorrow once the neighbours are out! You're a star

[@janemiller-yh1yx]

Hey Nate! Thank- you for your tutorial of Now and Then by the Beatles. I have been a Beatles fan for over 50 years. I have just taken up playing the piano again since my retirement and I look forward each weekend to new pieces to play. So sorry to hear of your breakup. Music can be a great comfort. ❤

[@PianowithNate]

Indeed 💜

[@abrahamsetti2143]

[@NeitoZOfficial]

do you think that you could do “Something” by the beatles next? gorgeous song, and i’d really like to learn to play it! love what you do.

[@jgpix1]

Hey Nate. I’m glad you made this! I knew there’d be tutorials all over YT , but I was waiting for yours. I’m sorry to hear about the personal stuff. Hang in there, hope things get better. Takes time, but it will

[@Randy_Solares]

Hey Nate, so sorry for your brake up. Great video, as soon as it came out I was thinking you would be the one with the best tutorial. Thanks!

[@dangerlach8671]

Awesome tutorial, thank you! Things happen for a reason, you're a good and inspiring individual.

[@back-seat-driver1355]

Another Gem from Nate! Thank you so much! Nate, stay strong....!

[@back-seat-driver1355]

Nate, feel assured you have many fans sending good vibrations to you. Thumbs up!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks you 💜💜

[@rabodhav]

Nate, you're getting me hooked. I'm a big Lennon, Jackson Browne, Joni fan. I was learning Woman. 😂 see you have Now and Then. I'm searching for Running on Empty...low and behold, you've got Late for the Sky, another fav. I'm still on the difficult Woman and Now and Then. I'll still be searching for a few more Lennon numbers...and Neil Young...let's go!😊

[@PianowithNate]

LET'S GO!!!

[@cindyspearman]

I love this song. So glad you showed us how to play. I just recently found you on KZbin and I have to say I think you are the best piano teacher online. You break the song down in an easy manageable way to play and I like that you show us different ways to add depth to a song. I also love that you email the lyrics and chords. That is so awesome and I greatly appreciate it!

[@PianowithNate]

So glad to hear this!! Cheers

[@mrwhoopie727]

Hey Nate thank you for all you do,I have one question what effects are you using on your vocals. Please share

[@PianowithNate]

Hi! I record into logic pro, and use a little bit of compression, a short slapback delay, and some reverb. Cheers!

[@charlieharpman2107]

Heyyy Nate!! Sorry to hear about your break up. Hope you are doing better. It’s great to see you back!! Another great tutorial as usual. Very easy to follow. It is great how you break everything down and how you show us how to play those melodies . Great play through at the end!! 😄🎶👍 as usual the displays at the top are very helpful. Love those rocking chords.

[@suecarr2836]

Hi Nate. I'm so sorry for your breakup. It's a hard thing to go through. Music has always been the voice of my emotions when I couldn't speak. And thanks to you, I am now able to play out my emotions instead of just listening to a recording of the music. You're the best, and I know you will get through this. Thank you for the best tutorials on the internet, and thank you for being you! You are appreciated and loved.

[@GLICKTON]

im going to learn now and then, thank you for the great video.

[@wybetulk8588]

Im so sorry of what you are going through :( hope everything will get beter for you from now on❤️

Will you do real “real love”? It is so beautiful… I think it will be good)

[@StanScott-wi8cj]

This tutorial is amazing! Well done!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@StanScott-wi8cj]

@@PianowithNate I'm just wondering, have you done octopus's garden? I know it's not a piano song really but it would be fun to learn.

[@VERBALKINTMAN]

Fantastic tutorial and superb rendition ❤️👌

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Lugi1070]

Love how you flair it up for a solo piano!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks!!

Thank you SO much! Your explanation is presented so well. You make everything so clear. You also have a wonderful voice. Your cover was excellent. Many thanks, Bruce.

You are a great teacher ❤

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you! 😃

[@0010Kev]

Hi Nate. I just discovered your channel. I really like it! I'm so sorry for the difficulties you've been going through. I've been around far longer than you have (I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan!) and one thing you will discover if you haven't already, is that somehow The Beatles will always be there just when you need them most. From the sixties right up to today they have had an incredible and unmatched talent for creating songs that can mean so much to so many people. They may mean different things at different times, but you will find that they will never let you down. Hang in there,,, it will get better. Oh and by the way, you sound a lot like John Lennon! Excellent!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks so much! 💜

[@abrahamsetti2143]

Lovely Nate wonderful tutorial thank you very much

[@PianowithNate]

My pleasure!

[@PianowithNate]

Wow, thanks!

[@dazsaxon7967]

Hey there, just come across your channel. Great cover of this beautiful song. Well done!

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jerickson725]

Wow Nate, that was beautiful! I got teary-eyed watching your playthrough at the end, knowing what you are going through. Breakups are difficult no matter what the circumstances are. Wishing you brighter days ahead 🥰 Thank you for another amazing piano tutorial❤ -Joni

[@PianowithNate]

[@pds002]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us under such challenging circumstances. I hope this has been cathartic for you. It certainly means all the more to me as I try to learn it. Last year, I had a huge heartbreak and discovered a very obscure Prince demo song: I can't Love You Anymore. I wept many tears learning to play that one and it was poignant and cathartic for me too. It was very brave and kind of you to do this for us. We appreciate it.

[@PianowithNate]

💜💜💜

[@jhn1987]

Very nice tutorial! Other than John’s vocals, the piano is my favorite part of this song. It is very Beatles like. Sorry to hear about your break up. Some years back, I went through a very difficult break up. I was very in love with the person and was quite devastated. After some time had passed I began to realize that there were serious flaws in the relationship that I ignored. Although I couldn’t see it at the time, moving on from this person was a very positive thing in my life, and allowed me to grow and achieve things I could never have done had I stayed with this person. Hopefully, it will be the same for you.

[@PianowithNate]

This really touched me. Thank you for this perspective

[@flouisbailey]

Guitar player wanting to add some guitar this is excellent.

[@starlighttone3545]

Hey Nate, it’s hard for us musicians cos all the songs are mainly lost love songs… 😢 I have a good idea, start thinking Christmas ! We all need a couple of groovy Christmas carols in our repertoire.

[@PianowithNate]

Good idea!

[@lisanielsen5764]

Nate!!! Awesome song, I was thinking of requesting it. So sorry about your breakup.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

[@PianowithNate]

You're very welcome!

[@rabodhav]

My heartfelt sympathy,.Nat.

[@johnedwardpiano]

Nate, you have done an amazing job covering this new Beatles song. You really captured the essence, energy, and tone. I would be excited to see other Beatles Anthology songs in the future. Perhaps "Real Love" or "Free Bird" or any other earlier JL songs: Jealous Guy GOD Mind Games Just Like Starting Over Nobody Told Me Im Stepping Out Oh My Love Stand by Me Mother I can think of others. Some of them are .ore guitar oriented and may not translate well to piano.

[@PianowithNate]

I will hit many of these eventually!

[@asadasad84]

Super ... Great ... You are Great ...

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you so much 😀

[@loveyourselfandme1283]

[@west_0456]

Oh Yeah!!! Thank you)

[@mariahmelendez7824]

Can you do a tutorial on how to play I will by the Beatles :)

[@norbert_energiesparen]

Danke!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you so much!!

[@AlexB_yolo]

O get the impression the piano is doing arpeggios during the melody part, and then a more staccato style during the chorus. It’s hard to isolate though, because of all the strings playing similar on top. Thoughts on this? Great stuff mate, big thanks!

[@PianowithNate]

You're right, it IS a little hard to tell within the mix. My overall thought is...in the case of this song and many others, it is less important to me to get a piano part perfectly accurate to what the piano plays on the recording, and more important to capture the energy of the music (which includes bass, guitar, drums, strings, etc) for a solo piano rendition. Cheers!

[@Carnicamagna]

Hi Nate, thanks for doing this here. One question: the picture shows Asus4 but you play an Asus2? For me the Asus 4 sounds better.

[@PianowithNate]

Hey! You've got a good ear. It's actually sort of an unusual chord that includes both the 2nd and the 4th...I talk through it at 4:20

[@Carnicamagna]

@@PianowithNate Ok, thank you. Your tutorial is great and helps a lot!

Hey Nate. Where is my tutorial ? "Now And Then" by The Beatles.

[@PianowithNate]

I'm not sure what you're referring to!

[@charlesgoldsmith6410]

It’s funny my mum has just passed away …….. I’ll listen a few times and see how I can play it 🤞

[@charlesgoldsmith6410]

Yes we both have different different feeling about this song my mum and your wife / ……. Ok Nate laters

[@PianowithNate]

I'm so sorry to hear, Charles

[@markblackman6148]

Thanks Nate great tutorial. It's a shame that the last Beatles song has been put together so loosely. A great song but a poor production. It drags and is one dimentional. Such a shame for their last record.

[@PianowithNate]

I didn't have that reaction to it, but maybe it's because in my emotional state, I just connected to song on that level and wasn't meeting it with the critical ears i might usually have had
