Celtic win the Scottish League and Cup double and Nate's got a new tune to learn, a great Saturday night. Yasssssss

[@baileycalebbriaevi]

Hello Nate: I am Marv. I am the one who requested you to teach this song.. Thank You so much for doing it so quickly and very nice job!!!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks for the idea! Had a lot of fun with it

[@em-rg3xf]

Excellent choice Mary. Im slowly teaching myself piano(46)and Nate is my go-to channel. I hope you update on how you progressed. I know this tune, but i love Nate's breakdowns. I love reading comments, because i now relate to so many people improving. I hope you check out Perfect Day Lou Reed thats awesome.

[@pnojazz]

Excellent lesson Nate! If you get a chance would you please do Commodores song Still? Thank you sir. ❤

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@kydzs]

Hey man you are an awesome teacher . Im learning many songs only watching your videos. Maybe you could do more David Bowie his piano songs are a delight and you are the only teacher on KZbin i can follow easily.

[@PianowithNate]

Good idea!

[@philippabertacco7919]

Nate, you are the reason I took piano up again after decades of wishing I hadn't stopped as a rebellious teen. I've almost conquered Vienna, and after Desperado, I'm going to tackle Easy. I follow 9 or 10 piano channels but you are the very best out there, and I so often forward your videos... even to non-musicians, who love them too 😊 My little girls have also just started playing, and as soon as they're ready, I'm going to introduce them to some of your simpler videos. Perhaps you could post a manageable video for younger players who are just getting into listening to (and playing) music? Keep doing what you do. You are so gifted and have a brilliant teaching style. Your videos are like musical Prozac. ❤

[@PianowithNate]

This made me so happy to read 💜

[@philippabertacco7919]

I've just rewatched this, and this is a brilliant interpretation of the song. I love how you infuse the percussion into this version. Also, your singing tone is lovely.

[@fabiancosster2992]

This is a very good lesson its good because i am learning how to play popular songs this is what i was looking for many many years ago when someone asks me to play something i can do it with your videos God Bless you and your family keep posting more videos like this

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@Adog660]

I have been looking for a while for a good tutorial on this song, and suddenly you post a new vid and all is resolved. Love your content and will definitely be learning this soon.

[@PianowithNate]

haha awesome!

[@CharlieNicolas-ws9ev]

Thanks, Nate for another excellent piano tutorial. This is one of my Commodore favorites.

[@Kristin-dg8qv]

I tried learning this from another tutorial and when it came to the “extras” I just wasn’t getting it. As far as I’m concerned, the extras are what really make the song. So once again, thank you!

[@PianowithNate]

Glad I could help!

[@skatoxnike1449]

Awesome Nate! Can you add "After All These Years" by JOURNEY to your next release? Thanks

[@roberthargett3887]

Nate, just started watching and I’m already a big fan! I really enjoy your method of teaching. I’d have to request that you do a tutorial and cover of “someday I’ll get it” by Alex Olsen. I think you’d for sure kill it!

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@lisadixon5886]

Brilliant tutorial, thank you,can't wait to dive in!

[@shiyoutarocurva1910]

Please consider Against all odds by Phil Collins, it's a massive hit and great to play in a piano, thanks as always!

[@PianowithNate]

I will revisit this! I was planning on it and then I went through a breakup and it felt a little too real to touch for a little bit

[@shiyoutarocurva1910]

@@PianowithNate thank you for taking a look on it, but if it somehow will remind you of unpleasant memories, you can skip this song instead. 😅

[@LS-lo8ks]

Please please do “Describe what she was like” by 2Klercs!

[@luke2809]

I love this song. Well done!

[@emilfjachmann215]

Thanks!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank YOU

[@johnedwardpiano]

Another reason I am grateful for this song is I desperately need octaves practice. Its one skill I haven't been able to make the stretches yet. Great song for octaves

[@PianowithNate]

Totally!

[@MichaeltheMortgageGuy]

Brilliant lesson! 🎉

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks! 😃

[@brianruvalcava7492]

Good one! Thanks :)

[@michaeleastman4739]

Nice song. I’ve always wanted to learn this. Can you do Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits.

[@johnedwardpiano]

I love your comment. I also would love for Nate to do that amazing Dire Straits song. Thank you for the request

[@johnedwardpiano]

I have been wanting this one for so long. You have been putting out so many great tutorials lately. I have a backlog now. Im very excited for this amazing Commodores song. Im still working on "A Day in the life" and "Father and Son". Nate, you are far the best piano teacher on youtube.

[@PianowithNate]

Always happy to hear about what you're working on, John. Thanks as always for the kind words!

[@ChataCovers]

Great tutorial thx

[@pixelfrenzy]

Happy new ident! 😊 And thanks for the level warning at the start, very useful.

[@PianowithNate]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RG-500]

Thanks so much for posting these lessons. Especially for this one. Awesome!

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@theodorekorbos2804]

Mr Nate I love this song thank you❤😊

[@morrisseyDAD]

Great work Nate. I love the simple rhythm throughout the song, and how small variations can improve the performance

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome. Cheers!

[@maxlirand]

Fera demais!

[@justin81706]

I was literally just thinking about working on this song. Thanks!

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome!

[@RickHardcore]

Very well played and nice piano sound my friend!!

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@transientbystander2124]

Hi Nate. Thank you for all of your beautiful tutorials. Can you consider creating a tutorial for Baby I'm Yours by Cass Elliott please? Thanks again!

[@juanfernando1247]

Gracias :3

[@erikha88]

Can you please do "a man needs a maid" with Neil Young?😊

[@Aviciifan_1]

Hi Nate, I have a few suggestions for you if you could make a tutorial on the night by Avicii or levels also by Avicii or great balls of fire by jerry lee Lewis that would be great

[@AvaGreig-jj1id]

Could u do slipping through my fingers by abba please?

[@convenientlyhungry]

Hi, im not sure if you're gonna see this, but could you PLEASE, PLEASE make a video for ABBA's Slippin' Through my Fingers? Ive scoured everywhere but nobody teaches to play AND sing better than you Nate, and as someone whos been wanting to learn for so long this would be just PERFECT. Thank you :)

[@PianowithNate]

Hey I'll check it out!

[@convenientlyhungry]

@@PianowithNate THANK YOUUUU

[@blahblaahblaaah]

Nate, have you ever considered transcribing your renditions to sheet music? The lyrics/lead sheets are great, but I end up forgetting small details that can't be captured in that format. I understand it's likely more work, but just a thought! Thanks for everything, this is such a great song

[@blahblaahblaaah]

Related: I entered my email yesterday for the lyrics chart, but never received it. I tried again today and still nothing. Just a FYI in case theres an issue your end you're not aware of

[@PianowithNate]

Hi! If you're still not getting the chart email me at [e-mail] and I'll get it to you

[@blahblaahblaaah]

@@PianowithNate OK will do! And on second thought, I'll transcribe it to sheet music myself. I want to get better with musescore anyway, so it's a good opportunity.

[@mtarlo215]

Alright check this out Sir. I’m not sure if this is a good song for you but “if you can read my mind” by Gordon Lightfoot is a great song that has not received much attention on KZbin. You rule, thanks again for your work.

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out - and thanks for the kind word!

[@johnedwardpiano]

Nate. What about "God" by John Lennon. You are the only one beside JL that could do it justice

[@PianowithNate]

Love that song...

[@danielcarvalho4800]

Hello Nate. I am Daniel Carvalho Can you please doa More I cannot wish you by the tv show the Flash That's is my favorite songs I love to listen to and sing to so I would like to learn that on the piano. Thank you for doing your vedios, it helped alot have a good day or Night.

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@agentsquish]

Nate, I need your help! Can you please make a tutorial on Nine Inch Nails' Something I Could Never Have? i can't find a good one and I like the way you teach, thanks.

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@LAIYZZ]

can you do idea 10 or idea 22 by Gibran Alocer? :)

[@jo6731]

I have tiny, tiny hands. Other than just playing one note with your left hand, is there a better alternative? My thumb and pinky are 180 degrees from each other when I attempt octaves so it's not about not being able to stretch out. Would it sound as good to play the first and sixth or something like that? I also want to learn "Don't Stop Believing" but it has tons of octaves. 😭 Thanks!

[@johnedwardpiano]

I also have the same problem with octaves. I would love to learn “Don’t stop Believing”. Hopefully, Nate will post it one day soon

[@PianowithNate]

Hi! It depends on the song...for many, this one included, I think single bass notes sound great. In fact, I debated whether to do octaves or single bass notes for this one...it isnt totally obvious from the recording what the left hand of the piano is doing as the electric bass is more prominent. In general, 5ths are a good bet if you need a bit more power or rhythmic potential from the left hand. I'd advise against 6ths unless that is how the song is composed...in most cases it will introduce new notes/harmonic information that doesnt belong and changes the sound too much.

[@johnedwardpiano]

I agree. I use single bass notes often as I haven't mastered octaves yet​@@PianowithNate

[@johnedwardpiano]

More JL, Beatles, and Billy Joel. Of course, you haven't done a video yet that I haven't liked. Every week it gets better and better

[@PianowithNate]

I think you'll be pleased with the song this weekend :)
