I Left My Heart In San Francisco Piano Tutorial

I Left My Heart In San Francisco piano tutorial
• I Left My Heart In San...
Take some piano lessons from Scott Houston “The Piano Guy.” In this video, Scott and his guest, Dave Powers focus on showing you how to play the signature lick from Tony Bennett’s hit “I Left My Heart In San Francisco.”
Dave plays the song in the Key of C and shows you a descending chord and how to slide down on the keys to achieve a great sound.
Scott and Dave just want to help you to teach yourself piano skills to get you having some fun at a piano as quickly as possible.
In this video, they will focus on accompaniment piano. Dave explains his thoughts on how he arranges the tune. As a basic rule you can play the whole song all the way through.
Then play a little instrumental part and finish up
by playing the song again only this second time, starting about halfway point through the ballad.
A “call and response” technique is used for the bridge. Dave uses chord tonesin his right hand to fill in any gaps in the song.
For the left hand part, Dave demonstrates a slow stride technique playing the root note then coming up and playing the chord.
The video concludes with a great performance of "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" on Piano.
If this video is too advanced for you, take a look at the link below to a video in which Scott will focus on the bare bones of playing the song “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” from a lead sheet.

Smokes let’s go

This performance had an outstanding effect on me when I was younger. I stayed home sick from school one day and saw this episode on TV. Growing up in a strict, religious household, our musical options were limited. This piece was one of my first introductions to jazz music, and I've been in love ever since. It's amazing to have finally found it again after all those years.

i have a brother n law who heard me playing 1 of my compositions which has a key change in it. he pointed that out implying that there's no such thing in music. i would have loved to hear these guys talk about how many key changes there r in this particular song which is my fav tony bennett song.

[@natalieaz8282]

Video l like this is incredible valuable. Unfortunately Scotch does stop posting =(((

[@resi45]

I wish they provided sheet music for what hes playing. Just to give someone a perspective on different ways of playing.

[@autisticguide4470]

Nice :)

[@themindbusterator]

thats the theme song from trailer park boys!

[@jeanphillippes2196]

The chord over the words "Climb Half-way to the Stars" is not really D Minor (in this alto-voice transposition). However, since the chord is question it is a floating chord - on the way to A Minor "any" consonant chord really would do! (In Baroque music floaters are quite common, usually denoted by a big DASH in the figured bass). If you use plain D, for example an F# fast upbeat can be exploited in the bottom part to give you a nice circle of fifths into "The Morning Fog" (F#) - B7 then E7 - Am Generally speaking I found the left hand part in this version unnecessarily kerfuffling. It's good to show off one's knowledge with loads of inflexion chords if you want to - but, truthfully you need only the basic chords to give a good effect.
