Hi. Currently I'm 13 but I can't afford a piano or piano lessons. I do want to learn it though, do you think when I will be older and get enough money, will it be too late?

[@kavokei1337]

Wow, I taught myself to play this by ear when I was about 13 or 14 and somehow got it about 90% right. How did I even do that? I wouldn't know where to start these days without this video. Thank you! Love this channel ♥️

[@karaokeking9747]

Wow, thanks so much for this! I have been self teaching for the past year and have just started departing from the method books to work on my ultimate goal- accompanying my singing on the piano. I read music just fine, but just looking at the transcription, I would have been too overwhelmed to even start. I love how you break everything up into chunks and explain what’s going on (for example- hey, that intro is just a couple of triads with the middle cut out. I can do that!) I think this is the perfect middle ground between just wading into the sheet music, or following one of those RockBand style tutorials. You guys obviously have a passion for teaching. I’m still making my way through the first two verses and am excited to learn those blues chords in the bridge. As a relative beginner it’s going to take awhile, but I’m confident I can do it.

I have been trying to play this for years but with your help I think it doesn't look anything like as difficult as I thought it was. I'll have a go. The arpeggios remind me a little of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" (which I can play). I'm basically a guitarist but I can play piano a little. You've inspired me! Thank you so much 🥰

[@LisaRSArt]

Beautiful singing Lisa! 😊🙌❤️👏👏

[@mhathaway35]

Love how exciting they make it. Whole new perspective I’ve the song.

[@BallisticDrummer]

Thank You!!!! I have LOVED this song for ever!!!!

[@Momoheim]

Bless you for that tutorial guys!!! i give you 1 month of my life, which I would have lost if i didn't have this.

[@toneranger]

Beautiful voice Lisa. Thanks for the great tutorial guys.

[@ralfnolte174]

Thanks for this great tutorial, folks! This is really the most detailled one i could find, and you also seem to have a good time! Fun to watch! Could you do another one for "Silver Thunderbird", too? Could not find ANY floating around... Keep up the good work! All the best, Ralf

[@ryanrabbitt9409]

Love this thank you guys so much very inspiring for us at home learners!

[@michaelleggieri7135]

I've been playing solo piano for years. I get requests for this song so started to figure it out and never realized how tricky complex this song is. Will probably take me a week 2 hours a day with metronome .

[@rh45sth62]

Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson ! Loved the tandem approach which made it seem easier to learn 😀💯👍🎹

[@billymona6011]

May you please show us how to play Dandelions Ruth B. My sister is learning to do a dance to it for an upcoming competition, and it would mean the world to her if I could learn this piece. I Love what you do and your music lessons, I have learned so much from you!

[@kuganthambipillai7280]

Brilliant. Can't seem to know when to start. I play by ear.

[@Tony-Stockport]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Loved it!

[@LisaRSArt]

This is so beautiful❣️. Thank you for this. Definitely one of my favorites! Wow❣️👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏❤️

[@PianoteOfficial]

You are so welcome! thanks for your support :) :) :)

[@Nighttrainpiper]

I can’t believe that super complicated song ends on a c chord. The audacity!

[@janemc4342]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR HAPPY CONTAGIOUS MANNER. I HAVE A QUESTION, WHAT KIND OF MICROPHONE AND FILTER DO YOU HAVE IN THIS VIDEO, I LOVE THE SET UP YOU HAVE THERE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BEST TO YOU!!

[@susandraluck25]

An episode of “X-Files” used this song in one of their rare tender upbeat endings to the story line-sweet!

[@robarias8625]

Yes! And that’s why I’m here.

[@iowauss]

You make it look easy, U R Good !!

[@lindajolive7155]

I love this arrangement, it's great. Can I please buy the sheet music from you, somehow?

[@judebrown4103]

I think I finally worked out the other reason I find this kind of music hard... Set aside the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm rhythmically dyslexic (!) 😂 I just realised that unlike classical music which gives you every instruction on volume and emphasis etc with dynamic markings, this kind of notation does not. The times I've gone to sight read a piece like this that I kind of know what it should sound like but then play the notes as written (-ish) and there's something missing and I can't tell what. It's the stress marks showing where the beat goes! There are none so if you're hopeless with rhythm like me even after hundreds of years playing classical piano I'm lost as to what the music means! I guess there might be some notation in the first few bars..? If so I'll have forgotten at the page turn 😂 Now you lovely people have shown me how to relax and just use the chords and listen I need to revisit this kind of stuff. I'm 64 this year so that's two Beatles references to my name so I better get tuned in! 😂 👍 Enjoyed this very much but my brain hurts 😁👏👍 Edit : oh my goodness! I've just worked out this is why I've never enjoyed playing Bach... he wrote for organ and did not put in pianoforte dynamics... so unless you get a piece of sheet music that's been well edited for piano there is no guidance. Have we established yet that my classical training was restrictive and not conducive to letting loose the musical imagination? Or do we deduce that I am not a musician able to be in touch with the feel of the music that I'm making? 🤔

[@AdventurousJS]

I think you’ve deduced that nobody ever allowed you to explore your own personal interpretations of music, and so that particular musical muscle was never strengthened. Nobody grading you now…time to experiment like you are 5 years old and don’t care what the paper says! 🥳

[@judebrown4103]

@@AdventurousJS ha😄, you're right of course and that's just what I try to do these days. I never sit at the piano without starting a free form session without music so I hope to awaken that musical muscle... Now if I could just have some of the energy of that five year old! Thank you for the encouragement. 🙏☺️

[@greysoncolman2843]

could we try some more country classic stuff? or just some more oldies please!!

[@rickfiddler133]

Just wonderful!

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thanks a lot for watching :)

[@kevingodding9316]

Great Video, Fantastic Singing 👍👍👍

[@marcodonati572]

Amazing!

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

Awhile back you taught Bohemian Rhapsody part. I would like to learn the rest of it now. How about it?

[@AnthonyDavis-g8x]

Nice! Can I get the slow version lol. Great lesson

[@LifeinLancashire]

This is beyond my capabilities at the moment, so I'll have to try this at a later date when I get more proficient on the piano.

[@santomon07]

I liked the 3rd and 4 verses....but I was hoping to see what he was doing on the C chord in the chorus...sounds really cool but hard for me to figure out what his little riff or ornament is that he's doinf

[@GeorgetteBu]

In other word the first beat is "and one and two and three and four". The first note is like a "pickup" beat but it's a note. Or it's like a "rest" but there is a note.

[@laydenjohnson5587]

This is really nice

[@laydenjohnson5587]

hey I was wondering if you could do " she could be you shawn hlookoff" no one in the world has a tutorial plz

[@Indianabones007]

Wow, this is awesome, what a great song! Could you do the same with Whole of the moon? Got rhythm but need intro and outro ❤️🤟

[@PianoteOfficial]

definitely putting it on the list!

[@Indianabones007]

@@PianoteOfficial that would be awesome! Just working on Walking in Memphis now 🤟❤️

[@FlappyBelly]

...what is the tob treble clef for? I'm very confused.

[@louisdouglas270]

could you please do a tutorial of children - robert miles

[@alancardoz3577]

Wow ... niceee ... the second verse is quite similar to the intro of A Little Love by Bryan Adams

[@PianoteOfficial]

im listening now!

[@jurpretiheijdeinespinosa3378]

Can you do tutorial for Line without a hook by ricky montgomery

[@GeoJesse]

When I first saw the title of this I thought it was a game where you mugged or shot people

[@oscarbilly547]

Gr8!

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thanks!

[@alpmontenegro2671]

Great but Can you just take it slowly for us who are neophytes?

[@PianoteOfficial]

maybe not on this video but you can alway hit the slow motion button!

[@nietherniether7508]

🎶

[@fabiogutierrez2823]

🤗👍

[@wolflone249]

Would be interesting to see the melody played together with the chords as well. Not everyone is a singer 😅

[@michaelwagner6995]

🌹🧡🧡👼🏻😘

[@StephandeVere-n5w]

So annoying you keep cutting and chopping. Just play the 4 chords slowly for a few seconds each!

[@jengiolando4159]

Any new note reading vids???

[@PianoteOfficial]

Got some more coming soon!

[@jengiolando4159]

Yay! So excited!!!!
