Finially someone that plays slow enough for me to see where to put my fingers and then repeats it until I catch on. I haven’t played piano since I was 12 and I’ve forgotten everything.This was the most helpful video I’ve seen yet for this song. Tysm for your tutorial!!

Awesome comment man. Thanks so much for taking the time to thank me this way, these kind of things keep me going. Great to hear you're making progress. Keep it up! Cheers.

[@attiliohollige]

Your tutorials are really useful and work for real. Thank you

[@pianocouture]

I'm very sorry for that, but after uploading the total sound (voice+piano) is now 'one thing' and those cannot be edited separately anymore unfortunately... In future video's it's better! Cheers

[@jaridecrom9845]

Man your channel is great, i picked up a keyboard last friday and now t days later i can allready play a few notes all thanks to you Thank you for the tutorial man keep up the good work

[@pianocouture]

Awesome! Thanks so much. Cheers.

[@KaBoomChannel]

The Beatles said when they played in Hamburg the crowd loved this song so much they would play it for an hour straight. When they got to that "Hey ho" break they would get the crowd going nuts and start the song again all over again ha ha

[@jmike2435]

Thanks you for posting! Nice instructions with the highlighted keys and your fingers actually playing...

[@pianocouture]

Thanks! Cheers

[@pianocouture]

This is 'right' though..? :) (although there are always different options and interpretations to play of course). Cheers

[@tibbenhamful]

This is a great tutorial, but I just want to give some constructive feed back. I found the video frustrating when combining both hands. I just feel you rushed it and went to fast for the average beginner I found myself trying to pause the video over and over!! Thank you for your work though!

[@federeeco3198]

Same

[@MrPedrograndi]

Actually, the way he plays is a little bit different than the way he teaches... Found it because I learned the groove as he shows, but the sound still wasn't quite right... so i started to pause (over and over again) the part he was playing fast.

[@tH4ttUs]

What does the blue points mean? i do not understand :) ( There are red and blue points)Plz tell me :)

[@alaincournoyer8906]

Tu es un super prof merci beaucoup

[@Andre-ji5rp]

it's really cool!! ) i will try plaing this composition))

[@leannal-t791]

the song is called What'd I Say

[@pianocouture]

Great to hear that you're picking up on piano. If you go to my website (link in the description below the video) and look for my freely downloadable Manifesto - 'Bare Essential Keys to Harmony', that would be perfect for beginners like yourself, or anybody that would like to have an introduction in Pop-Piano. It is a 42-page ebook, as said completely free for anybody to download and share. Hope that helps! Cheers, Coen.

[@kothreat1]

Take some time and make sure you know how to do it before making a video lol...

[@tuix000]

it's actually what'd i say

I'm starting a movement to correct the grammar in rock and roll songs, starting with, "I Can't Get ANY Satisfaction".

Great to hear Leon, thanks for your comment. Cheers.

[@ericsmith6354]

Thanks for posting it in the key of E which is the original recording. A lot of other channels have it but in other keys.

[@tdfanfrance]

Thanks a lot for your very clear explainations. I love this song ! I am still far to be able to play it with both hands but at least I have now a good 'recipe' to follow, and perhaps one day, I will manage to do so. You are a very good teacher. by the way, which software are you using to higlight the played notes ?

[@piano8608]

Very good ! I just played piano for 2 years and I can do it thanks to you ! CAN you do the same with NINA SIMONE MY BABY JUST CARE FOR ME ? It would be wonderfull ! ;) Marie Cécile

This is the best yet the worst tutorial I’ve seen! You’ve got a new subscriber!

[@pianocouture]

Thanks for your comment! Cheers

[@oppositefrog]

Great tutorial and great song. My only problem was it took me a while to figure out which notes you were playing with which hand once you got to A9.

[@edwinghudson1223]

hola que tal amigo buen vídeo pero seria super genial si subieras un tutorial de la canción de I Belive To My Soul igual de Ray Charles

Great video! Thank you 🙏

[@jeandeprau602]

Excellent méthod ,thanks

[@adamurbaetis9320]

you didnt even show us slowly the parts you played fast, each time u changed what you played too, makes the entire learning experience nearly impossible unless you go frame by frame

[@pianocouture]

Yup, Dutch. Hoping to loose that accent for my future English... ;). Cheers

[@Cookefan59]

You forgot about the most famous part where he and the Raelettes do a call and response!

[@i1rlj00]

Great tutorial. Can you do a tutorial on Heaven Must Be Like This - Ohio Players?

[@violetnewcomb1195]

my favorite .few of you here teaching this Happy so Ican learn it ,thank you so much !

[@petrieq9373]

It is hard to follow when you keep making mistakes...

[@chiroloko]

Thank you.

[@CallOfDoughnuts]

It took a couple hours but I finally got both hands to work together. Then I listened to Ray Charles’ recording and realized he shifts to a simpler two note pattern on the left hand when the chords come in!

[@antoinejeannet8804]

Ve-ry, ve-ry goood !! I've always loved that song and i'll try to play it Thanx you very much ; rock'n'roll !!

[@craigbrowning9448]

From Footage I've seen of Ray Charles, the First Chorus, the Roots are Sustained by the Left Hand and the higher notes are played by the Right Hand.

[@m00n69]

I think your system is great and your lesson is fun, but I don't think any live performances by Ray have the intro figure carrying throughout the song. And you missed the trickiest bars in the 12-bar set, the last 2, or the turnaround. They are called E7, but these bars are nothing like the other E7 bars. Thanks.

[@mrmyoozik6286]

Let me just thank you for sharing your video I've been practicing and practicing practicing I finally got it and I wanted to come back to tell you how much I appreciate this video it really helps me developed my left hand doing something different that my right hand is doing and have fun at the same time this is really a nice groove by Ray Charles thanks again I really appreciate it

[@stere0479]

Nice man! thanks u for that, you can do the "how to play" of "I Believe to my soul" pls ? is a great hit

Very nice sound and good teaching! Thank you very much, need practice

[@slaptwin7867]

Dude thank you so much

[@TheVivert]

do you want to sell me the partition piano what I'd say - Ray Charles - original piano lesson. Tutorial by piano culture . thank you. it is good vidéo but probleme for to put the accord with melodie.

[@pianocouture]

I don't have a partition at this moment sorry. There is a Piano Couture sheet with chords in the making though. Cheers.

[@piano8608]

I m looking forward to seeing it !! ;-)) MC

[@vansullivan236]

Great, thanks!

[@kimonathanasiou1968]

Chords are right but it is wrong

[@sabrinaleung2730]

Ok this is super bad sorry

[@pianocouture]

Hahaha, thanks!

[@loot6]

Its What'd I say...

[@Acting_Out]

How did no one else catch he said the 'G' is the seventh note in 'A' chord when 'Ab' / 'G#' is actually the seventh

[@Acting_Out]

Same thing for 'B' chord. 'A#' / 'Bb' is the seventh note, not 'A'

[@hetheringtonpiano]

They are the flat sevenths. The A and B chord in this case are both dominant chords which use the flat or 'dominant' 7th

[@MrVilin1985]

SUPER VIDEO !

[@andys9337]

Very good!!!

[@gregsbest]

Wonderful clear explanations. Thank you Nicholas. I would like to learn 'Georgia on my mind' , but using Bobby Floyd's version, it is found on the Piano Guy's channel , when he was a guest artist . Please check it out, I think it is better than Eric Baumgartner's version( and that one is good too, but...). Tx.

bravo

Mess around anyone?

[@AlbertWeijers]

Change the title to "What'd I say", as earlier commented. But thanks for the tutorial.

[@StealthArt]

it's not that noticeable, haha! I'ts just cuz I'm dutch too (:

[@andraspandy]

Put the voice down and the piano louder. It's really annoying and hard to follow like this.

[@coochiebluz1]

thanks for uploading this lesson. I am almost 70 and have just started piano lessons, this is the first song my piano teacher taught me....I am still having trouble using correct fingers. I will use your tutorial for home practice. in my sheet music there is tricky timing...some root notes are on the 1 beat, others are on the 'and of the 4 beat.

[@pianocouture]

My advice - ditch the sheets and learn about patterns. And chords for the actual notes, obviously.

[@coochiebluz1]

@@pianocouture patterns? I know about patterns on the guitar eg scales, modes, CAGED etc, what 'patterns' do you mean on the keyboard?

[@ThePROFESS10NAL]

@@pianocouture don’t tell him to ditch the sheet music until he can, at the very least, read it to the point he can see a chord on sheet music and put his fingers where they should go. If you ditch it too early it’s hard to go back if you ever find yourself needing to.
