How do u play the transition from the 9th verse to the 10th verse? Cause it’s played differently (or it’s just not shown) in the video compared to the notes.. shouldn’t you play h,a,g twice in a row according to the sheet?

[@glynnbayliss5156]

@@Battleangel_xo I've having the same dilemma with 9 & 10. I couldn't combine her base line with the lead because she doesn't play the lower G until after the last lead G in 10. I ended up making bars 9 & 10 just like 1 & 2, but with the descending notes in 9.

I learned piano along time ago and started lessons when I was 13 yrs old. I had the sweetest old lady as a teacher. I believe some people are born with a gift to be Extraordinary teachers. You have the best tutorials, and have made me fall in love with piano again. I should have never stopped. Actually just ordered a new casio key board that should be arriving today. I want to thank you sincerely for lighting this passion up for me again. You are amazing 👍

[@Nadz95]

I've been playing piano for about 15 years on and off, recently this year I have got back into it and I've got to say you're an amazing teacher! I was able to learn this in just a couple of hours because you make it soo simple. Such a talent from you x

[@pluviosealphe2427]

She is one of the best ever

[@BGGamesOfficial]

Same bro

[@manikandanrajagopalan3154]

In couple hours? How's that even possible

[@PianoteOfficial]

Here's the link for the sheet music and the timecodes for all the parts of the song: pianote.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/pdf/Perfect-LeadSheet.pdf The important left-hand part - 0:59 Adding the right hand - 1:35 Putting both hands together - 2:25 The pre-chorus - 3:10 The chorus - same chords, different order - 4:16 How to deal with overlapping hands - 6:05 A simpler option for the left hand - 6:16 The final section - the outro riff - 6:53

[@duongval]

Could you give me the left hand note?

[@PianoteOfficial]

The left-hand notes are arpeggios of the chords. So for a G chord the notes are G-B-D-G-D-B up and down. And then it's the same for ever chord

[@duongval]

[@atharvtiwari1377]

This is hands down the best tutorial I've found for perfect.

[@happylifeyoutube]

I'm 66 years old and I am Thai. You speak very clear I can understand and now I can play this song. I love the way you teach how to play this song. Thank you so much.

[@WelshGingerCat]

I've just ordered myself a £400 keyboard piano so I can learn to play this. Can't wait til it arrives next week. I can't even play chopsticks! You are so very talented.

[@seydougoro1041]

[@tfmarketing12]

That part at 6:16 to 6:49 about how to use "shells of chords" was just amazing and eye-opening to me. I don't think there's any piano teacher on KZbin who simplifies piano concepts as well as you do, Lisa. Amazing job as always.

[@olamideogunwale2956]

I don't get the shell of chords. Could you explain a little better please?

[@tfmarketing12]

​ @Olamide Ogunwale Shells of Chords: You just do the "outside" keys of a triad, to make it simpler. Like for example C-major triad would normally be C-E-F, but you can just do C-F to simplify it. Same with G-major triad which would use 3 fingers to play G-B-D at the same time... but you can just do G-D (skipping the middle key B). In that sense you're just doing the "shell" of the triad, skipping the middle key/note and just playing the "outer" notes of the triad instead. If you look at the way Lisa hits the keys from 6:16 to 6:49 you'll see she just hits the outer notes of the triad/chord during that section (instead of the 3 notes in the chord she was doing before), and it still sounds good. So it's a good way for beginners to simplify things. Hope that helps.

[@robinsebastian1614]

u can't imagine how much happiness and confidence you gave me through this single lesson .. wishing you all success am happy,also feel very lucky to find your lesson on you tube tc

[@ThisuraYapa]

I think I found the best channel on KZbin to learn playing the piano. The presentation and the time duratiin of each part is perfect and best of all the sheet music is given free.

[@anjalibisht5548]

How does your left hand play so soft!?

[@yoganshkhandelwal8718]

That’s so true whenever I play the chords they are always so harsh

[@ayushbaranwal3637]

Play gently and use foot pedal or damper

[@arielnapenas8240]

I dont know how much to thank you for all your videos. This one is very helpful and will help me moving forward. I understand now how to play the left "open" along with the melody, without notes but just seeing the chord name. Thank you.

[@danielmbuyamba4937]

You're my favorite teacher, you make it sound so easy and your explanations are flawless. Your skills are master level and you have a beautiful voice, wish we could hear you sing more... Thank you Lisa.

[@spencersoh4488]
