@Sergey, thank you so much for the time stamps.

[@dannuttle9005]

These are the best jazz standard tutorials I've ever seen for someone at my level.

[@levimatthew8911]

I agree! Great sounding and playable!

[@momentosvirales2023]

Great Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning piano fast without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend Sam at very last got excellent success with it.

[@박승훈-c5v]

As a beginner,I enjoyed this number and autumn leaves on this autumn days. pianogroove is very kind for beginner. Thank you so much.

[@sylux6985]

This is one of the most beautiful song I’ve ever played. Thank you so much for your tutorials!

[@Fabsurf101]

I'm so glad that you break down and repeat each time and go right back to the top. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

[@dsebas565]

This is by far the best jazz piano channel on youtube. More progress achieved with your videos in few weeks than almost in a year with piano books. Very complete and clearfull tutorials. Keep going on!!

[@llamaking1071]

check out "Walk that Bass". He's got some deep dives on jazz concepts.

[@lionellaplaise357]

Vous n'imaginez pas le bien que vous m'avez fait en me donnant la possibilité de jouer ce morceau. C'est autant le pianiste amateur que l'homme qui vous remercie. 😉👍

[@antoniopizzileo5131]

very beautiful song and very clear tutorial, thank you for giving us all this beauty

[@nickycatterson7303]

What a great teacher of a great Jazz classic beautifully played and taught simple voicing that sound so complex I love the way the melody and chords sound as if they are one together rather than two separate components 👌

[@daveadams5]

Excellent tutorial of this beautiful tune. Really enjoyed listening to this and your explanation and tutorial were very easy to follow. Thankyou so much for posting this. Cheers!

[@derycktaylor3677]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial. I like the way you take the time to explain exactly what you are doing. Great job.

[@PianoGroove]

Glad it was helpful! You can find more lessons like this in our playlist “how to read lead sheets” which is on our channel homepage. Enjoy the lessons!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

This tune has an almost hypnotic effect on me .

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

Incredible version,used your video as a guide and already playing and like the way it sound. One thing makes me A LOT messing in studies is some explanation about Different cords... Subbed for sure. Thank you.

[@diannebrewer8069]

Just beautiful!

[@totiturushi4935]

Thank you from Argentina. I very apreciatte this tutorial.

[@jonedr.rahadian3908]

I only spent two days learning this piece. Ur tutorial is really helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@miguel.bbeats3136]

that's crazy good

[@GtavoMN]

This is perfect, I Just got my first piano, and this is perfect, I can't thank you enough

[@davesax11]

Excellent explanation of the tune integrating theory with practice and explanation in context. Beautiful tune regardless of the level... thanx

[@miguel.bbeats3136]

this the only channel i've come across that does a full video and not just a section of it just to advertise the other half on another website (no hate tho I respect the grind)

[@michaeldunagan8268]

You make the outstanding seem so possible! Thank you so much for displaying your talent and your teaching ability to me. I greatly underestimate how far away I am to being a good jazz pianist. One thing to point out I guess to viewers would be the tonality change or key change when the "B" section goes into the Cm7 / F7 / Bb△ a ii-V-I, and even stays that way with the chord on the seventh note of the B-flat major scale, Aø, until resolving to the D7b9 where a G major tonality sounds.

[@Solomon.Y_Music]

Super super teacher.... God bless you 🙏❤️😊 we liked your teaching methods

[@myajones7119]

Thank you soo much for this tutorial! You guys are the only channel that fully explain everything very easily. I would love a tutorial for the song " Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's or an oldie Barbra Streisand song or Frank Sinatra song if possible. Thanks.

[@gabrielhernandez5033]

That intro😍 And even better class🔥

[@philippepierrelouis9956]

Awesome. Thank you sir. One of my all time favorite song.

[@stevomo3738]

Is the EXACT sheet music for what you play here available for my printing if I join? I don't want to just have your chords and lead tone, and have to learn everything slowly off your video always, then not have anything exact -to keep for the future if I just want to go up to it later and remember and play it exactly.-quickly Thanks

[@alejandrorojaschavez5140]

I need a tutorial to do that fmaj7 F C A in the begining 😊 Thanks for the video

[@eunikepaulina306]

It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me Oh no, it's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation Oh no, it's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms And I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams came true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you will only grant me The right to hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night The nearness of you

[@gohype7789]

I reduce the speed to 0.75 and turns out, it sounds PERFECT!

[@paulfinch648]

Wow this is a great tutorial and a really beautiful tune indeed. I normally play classical but I just couldn't resist doing this tune. I didn't like the grace notes so much but you are really right about listening to vocal versions of the tune. Even better people could try singing it, if they can play piano they can have a shot a singing will help a lot as well as listening. Thanks so much for uploading this and taking time to share with us.

[@PianoHeal]

Best jazz tutorials on KZbin imo you’re a great teacher ! ❤️🎹🎶😊👍

[@farelelisabeth320]

super tutoriel , merci beaucoup !

[@rachelsmename6]

Hi Hayden, this was great, thanks! Can you please tell me how to find your advanced version that you mentioned in the video?

[@maxguo5803]

immediately liked your video, which , it seems to me, has a musical logic found in jazz classics. can't find the more advanced version of the same song yet.

[@Mary-eo7ir]

I like that these tutorials give the sheet music too!

[@michaelengland7228]

Just incredible I love your interpretation.

[@michaelengland7228]

So so beautiful thanks🙂

[@jonathanmoyo2569]

still new in jazz when learning chestnuts i came a very good idea of dominant and diminished used as passing chords so u said diminished are used half step before the approaching note then in this tutorial a diminished was used a half step above the approaching note, am bit confused here

[@yuheis7476]

Awesome tutorial. I’m just starting to get into jazz and this was great, I learnt it very quickly and your teaching was easy to follow 👍🏼

[@tatongt]

Thank you so much.

[@dfaria1000]

Beautifully explained..... thanks.

[@frodobaggins62]

I think your tutorials are terrific, however...some of the chords you use require quite a stretch. e.g., the very first chord FMaj7 covers a 10th from the root to A. My hands simply won't cover that. What suggestions do you have for people with smaller hands?

[@michaelsangoy1603]

I just use a different voicing of the chord. I'm a younger dude and that shit is difficult asf 😂

[@chromezify7182]

Man if this is beginner im about to be a beginner for a long time

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Yeah ! When he said " after you've learned this BASIC version " I had the same feeling. !

[@vincentaranda6169]

right??????????? if this is for a beginner i wouldnt even k ow what to call myself

[@terryfoster8419]

This mixed with your passion for the melody. Makes you sound like a pro.Gets better when you see the progression.

[@djsliky4000]

I'm a pro beginner 😅

[@jassrajmishrajee4496]

I feel you 💀 i need to watch jazz for dummies 🥲

[@karenvent974]

Is it possible to get the really nice turnaround notes spelled out, please? It goes by too quickly for me to capture. I love your style!!

[@davidkelly1220]

Super, thanks for posting, subbed

[@et_cetera_]

Having trouble downloading the sheet music to this. Do you have a direct link to the pdf or know where to locate it within the website? Thanks

[@deananightingale8197]

I have the Norah Jones song book and it starts in G. By any chance can you do a tutorial from the song book? I’m new at playing jazz and I really want to learn this song so I can sing along. The original is a bit too high for me.

[@DianneBrewer-q6n]

Ding dang! I’m trying so hard to keep up with those left hand “sweeps” between the melody as you run them up - even slowing down the speed,it goes by too fast. Ahhhh

[@vanessachallis2159]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Is there a link to the second one? 👍

Just Great

[@lafayettegunterjr2967]

Can you do a tutorial for the jazz standard ladybird

[@Reviwitha6]

I'm more used to midi tutorials but I can also try to learn from sheet music too

[@Liebestrunkenmusik]

Thanks man

[@victorchiong5239]

original is key of c right?

[@winterdesert1]

I love this arrangement. Do you have anywhere that I can access the sheet music for it? It's so tedious to keep freezing the screen and trying to write it out myself. :) Thanks.

[@kosmasophia]

U can take a screen shots of the chords and use scanner app to make it into pdf and the print it. Takes just few min to do:)

Any new year's specials for yearly or monthly subscriptions? I'm looking for something around $30 monthly?

[@PianoGroove]

Hi Mike, our annual membership gives you a 40% discount on our monthly membership. This works out at $29 p/m - you can see more here and read reviews from our students: www.pianogroove.com/join/ Cheers, PianoGroove

[@tntwashpro3863]

@@PianoGroove thanks for replying. Many people who offer lessons usually don't respond. I will subscribe to an annually subscription and give it a try. Quick question, how indept do you go into theory? I would like to not only play jazz, but also play other genres by ear. So having in understanding on how music work and being able to create my own music is a must. Also, are you available to answer questions for your subscribers?

[@ttwa5328]

Good tutorial and nicely executed. Regarding in your left hand voicing, do you follow any specific rule that prescribe 3,2 or1 note voicing? If so what might that be?

[@PianoGroove]

There is a discussion on this exact topic in our community area, check it out here: www.pianogroove.com/community/t/new-course-beginner-jazz-arrangements/3531/8 Cheers! PianoGroove

Can we purchase the music sheet with all the voicing?

I never saw the 7th played in the initial Fmaj7 chord.

It’s in the key of F Major. Here’s a related lesson where we explore scale runs over the same song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonZe4urf5aLicksi=VbujvPBhf9PP6Uli
