Just recently came across your easy theory..”Every Player Needs to Learn The Diatonic Chords of A Key” video from a year ago. I’ve learned more from that video than the dozen in person lessons I took this year at a local music store. You are a GREAT teacher!! I’ve subscribed and cant’ wait to complete all your video’s. I just watched your Accompany the Right Hand Video as well. I’m totally inspired!!! Thank you from Canal Fulton, Ohio!!

[@person3538]

"Sunshine" is my favourite song by Ray Charles. Really underrated gem

[@antondavis5029]

Genius! Big Ray Charles fan. Don't let the sun catch you crying definitely my favourite

[@williamb4335]

Just amazing. Thank you.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup for this. My favorite Ray Charles song is the next one.

[@johnmackenzie3030]

Excellent tutorial

[@manuelmakesartz]

Funny, I was trying to find exactly what your video title suggests. I have the exact same issue with all these covers and tutorials I saw on KZbin; they sounded wrong and I wanted to practice it like Ray Charles played it. So thank you a lot for this lesson!

[@benedikttscherfinger5145]

gerogia on my mind for me!

[@feineszeug]

thank you, good work 😊👍🏻

[@21stkenn89]

THIS IS THE BEST EVER CHANNEL FOR PIANO BEGINNERS like me!!! You deserve more subscribers. New subscriber here! 👌 I am struggling with my left hand, thank God I found your channel.

[@hlqa7938]

Sweet!!!

[@giovannimarroccomediumspir6796]

Genuis, good 👍🇲🇫

[@sugarbunny6235]

14:11 I need this for personal reference

[@aldohernandez3476]

Can you please do “I Believe to my Soul” by Ray Charles!!! I cant find it anywhere

[@szita2000]

Your bottom G sharp key makes a funny (siren) kind of noise. I am not sure if only I can hear it or I am just making it up. But neverless Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

[@commanderfox1858]

i thought so to

[@fcool04]

Hi, nice lesson! What is the key of this?

[@ilianavoutou7367]

Hi there. Thank you for the video. Could you please do more videos of songs to learn? Theory is okay, but sometimes showing songs and how to play them would be better. Thank you

[@Emily-jx8em]

Agreed!

[@PianoFromScratch]

I’m describing the chords used because if it was me watching this when I was starting out, I would have been very confused and wouldn’t have been able to make sense of some of the notes in the right hand. Learning a bit of theory like that as you learn a song is much better in the long run, will help you label, recognise and memorise things more effectively and it’s really important for people who want to learn more about how that style/sound is created so they can do it themselves. 🙂

[@Doggo.hollic]

@@PianoFromScratch you should first play the thing that you are going to learn

[@PianoFromScratch]

@@Doggo.hollic I did at the beginning 😉

[@Vanolo999]

No it wouldnt be better

[@jeremyhofmann7034]

I see how to do it now 🕶

[@JamsODonnell100]

Lonely Avenue, please

[@CJ-ob2kv]

So if you just wanted to play this and sing the song, would you just play these chords on repeat?

[@tanienshadofficial7849]

Please make all of me by john legend tutorial

[@micksayers1]

Really like what you are doing, but i only tend to play in key of ‘F’.

[@tommylovejoy8730]

nice tutorial but i noticed your fingering is different when playing the bassline the first time as opposed to when you break it down and it makes it more confusing to learn. I must say though.. this is the closest tutorial to how it actually sounds so well done on that

[@sict_9742]

What scale is this ?

[@glasses1ie]

D minor blues

[@CJ-ob2kv]

A-flat minor

[@glasses1ie]

oops, sorry

[@rontb]

[@JulienExantus97]

[@christophermatchett3812]

Sinners Prayer

[@sugarbunny6235]

When you can’t do octaves 👁👄👁

[@nealellis1180]

Yeah, well, I think Ray played in flats, not sharps. Just sayin'

[@PianoFromScratch]

Interesting, I just know it by ear so had no way of telling whether he was thinking in G# minor or Ab minor. I went with G# because it made more sense, it's the more common and simpler key signature - In Ab minor I would have had to use an Fb 7 chord. Either way, it's the same actual notes on the piano! 👍
