[@asreversas1614]

I love it❤❤❤❤ so amazing

[@johnedwardpiano]

Even though I have only been playing for two years now, I devote all my free time to the piano. I believe it’s the only way to improve. There are still many concepts I struggle with but I feel that I have improved and see where I’ll improve in the future. I have never had any formal lessons. Everything has been KZbin videos. I think my biggest weakness is not going high enough on the keys, not digging in or not rotating my wrist enough. Moving my elbow out away from my body and keeping the wrist straight. There are many techniques I need to work on. I probably need to learn scales also. I never take the time since I’m always trying to learn songs. Once again I always enjoy your content. Each week is a treat to see what you will post next

[@mrguitar5051]

Nat you NAILED It with the transcription on "Let it be" As a rocker guitar guy I been looking for the CORRECT playing of this song for months. Than today I came across your video on KZbin! NAILED IT! GREAT JOB!

[@johnedwardpiano]

I decided to revist this classic. I tried to learn it a year ago and it proved to difficult for my skill level at the time. A year later, and after watching many of your tutorials, I feel confident enough to give it another go. Thanks for everything you have taught me, Nate. I rarely watch any other channels. None of them have the production quality, the step by step instructions nor do they post the chords up or explain the timing. Also, none of them let you download the lyrics with the chords. I have found in my limited time with the piano is that it is all about timing. Someone can give you the chords and the words but if you dont know the dynamics or when to play a chord to the lyric in the song then it makes no sense. Its all about rhythm

[@PianowithNate]

Amazing!! You've come so far, keep it up!

[@mrbulkyc1]

Loved the guitar solo 🎸

[@bleonardyou]

Nate. So when are you going to post a tutorial on that guitar solo? If you don’t want to do that, then could you tab it out for us. But your ample teaching talents would be great with a video tutorial. Thanks for teaching me so much. I bought both of your courses and I’m slogging my way through the first one. I’m spending a lot of time on each lesson before moving on to the next one. It’s not easy for an old guy like me, but I can see myself getting better with each video.

[@PianowithNate]

Hi - so glad you're enjoying the courses! If you're looking to learn the guitar solo here, this video might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Sqep18bdRpqKM

Thanks! I'm going through your course right now and wanted to see what all you have on here. I like the way you teach and build the song up, really makes it understandable. Love the Beatles stuff. Also would be interested in Your Song or Daniel by Elton as well as Desperado by Eagles.

[@PianowithNate]

Hi Mark! Those are awesome suggestions, putting them on my list. I am curious, because most people find my course through the tutorials here and not the other way around: how did you find out about the piano chord breakthroughs?

[@markgeier197]

@@PianowithNate I think I initially started with a video (saved it but didn't really try it) and got on your mailing list. After my coaching season, I started on the course as I wanted a better base to get started. I'm on the inversion chapter and was just curious what your youtube videos were like so finally watched on in detail to see how it was compared to the course. I'm no natural, but with you stepping through it, I'm making progress on the inversion chapter song as well as this one now.

This was so helpful. Can you pls do Bad Dreams by Faouzia next? It's my favourite song.

[@PianowithNate]

Haha thanks so much!

[@dianesykes9328]

Hi Nate I really enjoy listening & watching your clips. I started learning piano late in life in my 60”s. I was hoping you have a Hotel California clip I could try. I understand you must have lots of request. Thankyou;]

[@PianowithNate]

Hi Diane! You're in good company here on this channel. Hotel California is a great suggestion! I'll mull it over...

[@ScarletteFiesci]

Nate so glad I found your channel. I love your teaching style and the confidence you enthuse into my playing. I am classically-trained and this is something we are never taught as I am sure you are totally aware. So it's really significant to learn this way. I was always very envious of all my friends who had never taken a piano lesson in their lives or were able to read music and could just play the songs. I used to get angry with myself spending hours and really slogging away learning to read and then interpret music transferring that onto the keyboard which didn't always work out well lol! Just learning the little flourishes or at least in my case learning how to put them into the song is what I need to be focusing on and I think I would have cracked the code so to speak. Thank you so much Nate. Did you say that you have a chord course where you teach the flourishes and scaling songs up to a more professional-sounding cover? Have subscribed and will certainly be following you now that I have found your channel.

[@PianowithNate]

Hi Scarlette! It's great to hear from you! I am so happy that this approach is resonating for you. Thanks for all the kind words and for subscribing. You've got some exciting musical times ahead! And yes, if you want to learn more about that course, check it out: www.pianochordbreakthroughs.com Cheers!

[@ScarletteFiesci]

@@PianowithNate It certainly does resonate - Understatement. I just wish Traditional teachers would have included this within their syllabi. I feel this would keep more students interested and also, those such as myself; would ensure that you can play and not get frustrated by classical songs which are nigh-on impossible to play unless you do nothing else but practise at concert level all day. Unfortunately not many people have that luxury and give up a long the way as I did some years later. The kind words are sincerely meant. Can't wait to see what's to come. A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and yours.

[@spendohtdong3215]

Nate I would love Bohemian Rhapsody

[@paulallenMacca]

Thanks for sharing I always thought I could hear Paul play for C chord = CEGC and G chord = DGB.

[@lala-laune]

Hi Nate! Thank you for the tutorial! It would be great having the sheet music (as notes) also. Otherwise I have to switch from PC to my piano and have to remember how to play (they are standing on different spots in my room), but on the other hand this would be a great practise to learn to play it from memory. ;) But sheet music would be a big help!

[@PianowithNate]

Hi! I dont have sheet music for it, as I put it together by ear. That said, my version is very accurate to what is played on the original recording, so if you search for accompaniment sheet music for that song, I bet you'll find something pretty similar!

[@ronhayes4329]

Was really really good if you could do Magic by Olivia Newton-John would really enjoy

[@carrierechenmacher7293]

Thanks for your lessons and great teaching method. Would you add Blackbird to your Beatles list? I know it is mostly a guitar piece but you converted House of the Rising Sun seamlessly. I have seen a few other Blackbird videos but hard to follow. Thank You

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks for the kind words! Good suggestion, I have actually taught Blackbird on guitar to many a guitar student! I'll consider it, it would indeed be a little tricky to translate to piano with the chord based approach, but I will explore it and see how it feels.

Great tutorial Nate. Thanks a lot. How do you use the pedal in the F* C* part ?

[@PianowithNate]

Great question! As you probably discovered...it sounds muddy if you hold it down. So I don't. Just keep it lifted for that part...if you use the fingering I teach so that every note is a smooth, legato step into the next, it should sound plenty smooth without the pedal. Cheers!
