How To Play "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran (Beginner Piano Tutorial)

[@PianoteOfficial]

Here's the link for the sheet music and the timecodes for all the parts of the song: pianote.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/pdf/Perfect-LeadSheet.pdf The important left-hand part - 0:59 Adding the right hand - 1:35 Putting both hands together - 2:25 The pre-chorus - 3:10 The chorus - same chords, different order - 4:16 How to deal with overlapping hands - 6:05 A simpler option for the left hand - 6:16 The final section - the outro riff - 6:53

[@duongval]

Could you give me the left hand note?

[@PianoteOfficial]

The left-hand notes are arpeggios of the chords. So for a G chord the notes are G-B-D-G-D-B up and down. And then it's the same for ever chord

I've been playing piano for about 15 years on and off, recently this year I have got back into it and I've got to say you're an amazing teacher! I was able to learn this in just a couple of hours because you make it soo simple. Such a talent from you x

[@pluviosealphe2427]

She is one of the best ever

[@manikandanrajagopalan3154]

In couple hours? How's that even possible

[@charlesculp5999]

I learned piano along time ago and started lessons when I was 13 yrs old. I had the sweetest old lady as a teacher. I believe some people are born with a gift to be Extraordinary teachers. You have the best tutorials, and have made me fall in love with piano again. I should have never stopped. Actually just ordered a new casio key board that should be arriving today. I want to thank you sincerely for lighting this passion up for me again. You are amazing 👍

[@robinsebastian1614]

u can't imagine how much happiness and confidence you gave me through this single lesson .. wishing you all success am happy,also feel very lucky to find your lesson on you tube tc

[@atharvtiwari1377]

This is hands down the best tutorial I've found for perfect.

[@ThisuraYapa]

I think I found the best channel on KZbin to learn playing the piano. The presentation and the time duratiin of each part is perfect and best of all the sheet music is given free.

[@sunsetfamilythunderfamily8257]

Thank you for your continuous support in teaching us and the music notes you have provided us. We (the family) appreciate it very much!

[@gordondubois1587]

I LOVE your "happy" way of teaching.Thanks you for sharing your gift

[@WelshGingerCat]

I've just ordered myself a £400 keyboard piano so I can learn to play this. Can't wait til it arrives next week. I can't even play chopsticks! You are so very talented.

[@gameingverse3221]

I already learned how to play this song. But we all know that learning never ends. Thanks 😍😍

[@grandstandforpiano1822]

[@felicidadgadiano6375]

she is a very good piano teacher. She was able to simplify everything. Thank you very much for this.

[@tfmarketing12]

That part at 6:16 to 6:49 about how to use "shells of chords" was just amazing and eye-opening to me. I don't think there's any piano teacher on KZbin who simplifies piano concepts as well as you do, Lisa. Amazing job as always.

[@olamideogunwale2956]

I don't get the shell of chords. Could you explain a little better please?

[@tfmarketing12]

​ @Olamide Ogunwale Shells of Chords: You just do the "outside" keys of a triad, to make it simpler. Like for example C-major triad would normally be C-E-F, but you can just do C-F to simplify it. Same with G-major triad which would use 3 fingers to play G-B-D at the same time... but you can just do G-D (skipping the middle key B). In that sense you're just doing the "shell" of the triad, skipping the middle key/note and just playing the "outer" notes of the triad instead. If you look at the way Lisa hits the keys from 6:16 to 6:49 you'll see she just hits the outer notes of the triad/chord during that section (instead of the 3 notes in the chord she was doing before), and it still sounds good. So it's a good way for beginners to simplify things. Hope that helps.

[@almostthere2516]

It is hillarious that your ad breaks are filled with Ridley’s music school playing….. yes you guessed it: Perfect, by Ed Sheeran! 😂 Well. I am sticking to you! 😂

This is pretty good to make a novice sound good with some practice. Simple; but effective. What I really like about Lisa, besides her ability to teach, is that she has a warm, school-girl quality that comes through. She's like someone you've know for a bit, and remember fondly.
