MY TUTORIAL OF THE `Taratata Master Class` MIKE BARSON "MY GIRL" TUTORIAL VIDEO.

PLEASE NOTE THIS VERSION IS SHOWING HOW MIKE PLAYS MY GIRL LIVE IN 2013, NOT AS ON THE STUDIO SINGLE/ALBUM VERSION FROM 1979.
Original Taratata Master Class video of Mike playing this is here :- • Taratata Master Class ...

So glad you were able to work this one out, after watching Mike's tutorial I could only get about half way through this tutorial is so much easier to learn from. 👌👍👍👍

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thanks, yeah that original tutorial video was frustrating due to the captions they used.

Amazing! Thank you! Liked and subscribed! Greetings from Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Lee - Thank you so much for providing this fantastic resource online. I'm currently trying to teach my seven year old son how to play a couple of Madness songs on the piano and we absolutely love your tutorials.

[@cloggysaint]

You ARE Mike BARson and I claim my £10! Fantastic stuff.

[@MrNuttylee7]

+cloggysaint Ha ha ,thanks mate. But i`m afraid I aint Mr.Barson.

Great video! I am 16 and trying to learn how to play my favorite madness song on the piano and you are my savior, madness is my favorite band. Glad you're documenting their method

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you for your kind message.

[@potatosalad9085]

@@MrNuttylee7 from there to now I've gotten pretty good at It, can play the whole song in somewhat good timing. Can't wait to show off

[@dansumo73]

Another belter of a video Lee. I love the way you completely take apart Mike's playing, note for note, even if it's different to a different version of the same song and slow it right down for people like me to learn. Have you ever disected the Peel Sessions before. Especially Bed & Breakfast Man. The piano outro is spectacular!

[@SavoPaddy]

Thanks a million for posting again, quality as always. I totally agree with you in terms of how underrated Madness were/are as musicians; feel that there's a reappraisal of their music going on though and your videos are an important part of that growing appreciation and understanding of how good they were/are, as well as an exhibition of your own considerable talent to take them apart and play them so well. Thanks!

[@MrNuttylee7]

SavoPaddy Thankyou very much, that is very much appreciated.

[@SimonNutty]

Great Vid Lee, keep up the good work!

[@nickmellor6563]

Hello my friend. I came across this lesson after watching the original lesson. But yours is accurate. I've only been playing piano for 2 months and slowly working my way through this. Thank you.

[@gerarddeegan4964]

Well done' Excellent rendition

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you

[@theactorjohnlarroquette]

literally was tryna figure it out from that video last night and was like whaaaaaaaaat this rocks

[@juliofc56]

Estupendo my friend I’ve been looking for this for a long time cheers dude.

[@varanchio]

Ah man, you are saint. I'm just a beginner, but absolutely love to fool around and practice little pieces and hearing Madness sounds.hopefully one day i can play the whole song.it couldn't be possible without your work, thank you so much :) best wishes to you✨🦋

[@ablack9431]

Hi, bit of a long shot but would you be so kind as to post up the chords with the actual notes please? I have a chord book but it’s coming up as different, I’m trying to do a cover of the track myself.

[@Stewart1966]

Great tutorial mate!! I'm learning this from your video, nice one!!! I bought a Roland digital piano a few months back as a 50th birthday present to myself, never played the piano before and have spent the first 3 months learning only chords, scales, fingerings etc - no songs. Now it's time to learn to play songs and no better than a true classic from my youth!! When I get better I plan to treat myself to a new Hammond. Wouldn't mind a vintage Vox Continental as well. Seems like you've got the lot!!!

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thanks Stewart, thats good to hear. Hopefully my channel will be able to help you to see & learn all the amazing detail that is in the keyboard parts of all Madness songs. Yeah regarding gear i`ve got the lot as you say, such is my dedication to trying to recreate Mike Barson`s amazing piano & organ sounds on Madness records :o)

[@deadlegification]

Superb as it happens

[@grez6330]

Fantastic!!!

[@loslobos4053]

if it took me a 10000 years i could never play this what a talent to have

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you. You never know, give it a try.

[@loslobos4053]

your a lucky man you have something special

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you, you`re very kind. Just practice & practice.

[@theselector4733]

BRILLIANT!!!!!! Thanks for uploading this. As a muso and fan I've always been interested by their style / genre. The ska thing was obvious but it seems like they also had some Music Hall & possibly Rag Time or 20's / 30's influence in some of their tunes. What's your take on that? Cheers

[@theselector4733]

Exactly......who else would write a song about the 'house on their street?' .... but it's those typically british things that make em special. I just discovered "Liberty of Norton Folgate", what a song? Some r describing it as their masterpiece.

[@MrNuttylee7]

I dunno about their masterpiece, but they certainly put a lot into this song. Here is my video of me playing along with the whole song kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2KupaeJaLR_qa8 where you can see Mike uses a few different styles on his piano e.g. stride piano (or slow ragtime) & waltz etc.

[@jmlyon75]

thanks mate, could not find out the bridge on the taratata video !

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you.

[@tonygohagan2766]

Thanks Bruv! And well spotted those mistakes on the other vid That Man!

6:08 chorus played quickly 6:20 start of chorus

[@traustitraustason982]

cool

[@adrienne575]

thanks for this one...it's a hard one...any clues you can give me for how to manage Misery on the keys in my cover band?

[@MrNuttylee7]

Thank you Adrienne. I`ll have to look into Misery.

[@therub2191]

i got it! thanks alot man

[@HamptonFarly]

Sounds wrong @2.19? Thought it when he played it as well

[@MrNuttylee7]

Not wrong , he`s just played it differently to the original. He varies the way he plays the solo all the time. If you study the original Taratata Master Class video of Mike, you will see he plays the solo in two different variations on that video alone!.

[@cloggysaint]

Aaaargh! Verse, no problem, chorus, all good, solo? Forget it!

[@MrNuttylee7]

I know, I understand your frustration, as the piano solo is very difficult. But well done for getting the verse & chorus, & I bet if you keep on practicing the solo, you will eventually get that too. Maybe try to break the solo up into small sections, & slowly master each small section before trying to play the solo all in one go. Don`t try to play it at full speed straight away, learn to play it slowly. I bet it`s the left hand part (the offbeat chords) that are giving you problems in the solo?

[@cloggysaint]

I'm actually cheating a bit and doing the chords with my right hand and the melody with the left, but yes, it's the timing of the offbeat chords that are proving tricky!

[@Blackrratt]

Day 1

[@Blackrratt]

Can play all but the middle instrumental 1 month

[@MrNuttylee7]

Hey, that`s good stuff, keep practicing & you will get there. Remember, practice is vital.

[@Blackrratt]

Pretty much perfect now but have made some parts easier for myself lol. Will be posting me playing it so you can watch it if you would like too. ​@MrNuttylee7

[@HamptonFarly]

He messed up the solo and so did you 😂 must be tricky or something

[@MrNuttylee7]

Where?. If it`s where you mentioned in your previous comment, then it`s not `messed up` or wrong , he`s just played it differently to the original. He varies the way he plays the solo all the time. If you study the original Taratata Master Class video of Mike, you will see he plays the solo in two different variations on that video alone!.
