Can You do the song Paisaje of Franco Simone? Please

[@larsnobel4279]

This video is exacly what i need. A 20 minute long video explaining a fairly simple song, is just the kind of background knowlegde a beginner needs to have.

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

You’re fantastic Nate. Just born to teach ! 🎼

[@PianowithNate]

I appreciate that!

Quite a few versions .This is actually the easiest and yet sounds so much better and true to the original recoding, many thanks Nate

[@PianowithNate]

Wow, that's awesome to hear!

[@2Marlene8]

Omg! The same chords I have but I just don't know how to play it right. I'm so glad I found this channel. Sounds as good as to the original.

[@PianowithNate]

I'm so glad!!

[@lindsayboakes8255]

So glad you did this. The version seems much less complicated than I thought it would be. Thank you.

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome!

Dear Nate, I am glad to hear your songs on piano. I learn Piano since 3 jears. I can speak a little English that I learnt at school at many jears ago, in 1966.But music is international.

[@PianowithNate]

Indeed, great music transcends language and culture!

[@MYTV-mt6nv]

Big thanks to you, Nate. You made me learn this playing easier. Bless you always.

I'm 48 and learned to play a bit of keyboard by ear until I was 11. I'm suffering the worst grief and have got a new keyboard starting from scratch with this song. Stunning, and very simply explained and demonstrated. I'm looking forward to learning it all the way through. My timing is a bit off but I'll get there. Thank you ❤ And the explanation of the minor fall and the major lift is awesome!

[@PianowithNate]

Good luck and enjoy!! Music heals!

Hello Nate! I Just wanted to say your videos are so helpful especially for intermediate piano players like me. I was able to learn The long and winding road for only a day thanks you your tutorial. I'm trying to learn They long to be (Close to you). Thanks for the beautiful tutorial. I hope you do more Beatles covers. "Hey Jude" would be a good one. Much love Nate! From the Philippines.

[@PianowithNate]

Just shot Hey Jude! It will be out in a couple of weeks :) I'm glad my channel has been helpful for you, cheers!

Hi Nate! Thank you so much for all your effort by making these piano teaching lessons, and for learning me how to play. Now I can finally play all my favorite songs on the piano. You are a briliant teacher. Keep up the good work!

[@PianowithNate]

Happy to hear that! And thanks for the kind words 💜

[@mihaisea1]

This is indeed the greatest song ever!!!

[@erx64]

Hi Nate, I've been following you for a few months by now and, in my opinion, your channel is the best piano tutorial channel I've ever seen. Your explanations are clear and essential. It is a good method to show the different levels and tips of piano playing as an accompaniment, for each segment of the song. However, i would like to suggest that you make separate videos for each level. Good job! Continue like this💪

[@PianowithNate]

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words! Your feedback is very interesting to me, and it's something I've thought a lot about and wrestled with. I think maybe I'm worried that some people will only stumble across the version of the video that's not well suited to them. And sometimes it feels like it would be hard to separate it into two videos because it's not a black and white "easy version" and "hard version" but a slew of options that you can pick and choose from to suit your level. But I do think I should experiement with this. I'm curious - what about the experience makes you wish it was separate videos? Do the options feel overwhelming? I guess my question is: if I continue to do one video for everything, how could I change the structure/pacing/approach to make it a better experience? Cheers!

[@erx64]

@@PianowithNate I can only describe my user experience with your tutorials. I really appreciate the way you organise the lessons and I usually go to the last chunck and watch your performance first. After that, I study each segment in the part where you explain the way like your final performance, skipping the easier levels. A version with a unique way of playing each part of the lesson might be easier to learn .... but I want to repeat: your videos are already great!!!!.

[@SusanRichardsDay]

Fabulous job ! Extremely talented and a very good teacher . Thank you .

[@PianowithNate]

@@PianowithNate Well I am from Montreal, I sing and write in french ... I am quite a good lyricist but I try to work with musicians that as good at writing music as I am at writing lyrics But the mood of french music is usually quite different... I made a french adaption of Hallelujah because most of the translations were too litteral or too lousy... I couldn't find in the translation, the mixture of sacred of love that is almost religious in that song Your vocal reddition of it is quite impressive, as is the texture of your voice Thank you and take care Excuse my french ;-)

[@drewb9743]

I love this song.

[@PianowithNate]

Me too :)

[@bigbadbob143]

Great Lesson! Can you do another arpeggio in the near future

[@bjornkinding6998]

Hello Nate, and thanks a million for your great teaching! Your courses! Your tutorials! Awesome! Last Monday, CNN aired a documentary about Little Richard, The Little Richard, The King of Rock and Roll. You must have played his songs, tried out his style of playing. Could you please teach us the basics of Little Richard's way of playing! A simplified version of Good Golly Miss Molly, or Tutti Frutti, or Lucile would be so much fun to try my fingers on.

[@PianowithNate]

Good idea, Bjorn! I'll mull this over

[@johnedwardpiano]

Nate. What about some Eric Clapton. Wonderful Tonight

[@AshleyGomezi]

Another great and easy to follow lesson! Perfectly suited for various skill levels too. It was easy to pick up the basics quickly and now have some extra stuff to improve and work on in the future. I appreciate that you take the time to go through all the parts of every song and ensure we can play and sing through it all. So many lessons from others will start off simple and quickly get too hard to follow, but not yours, so thanks as always for that!! I've always loved this song, especially all the AMAZING covers by so many different artists! Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwrights versions are by far my favorites, simply beautiful! You should do a Rufus Wainwright lesson, maybe Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk?

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks Ashley!! So glad to hear this. Yep those are my two favorites as well. A Rufus Wainwright tutorial is a good idea...I saw him live once just him and piano and it was incredible. I'll mull it over!

Thanks a lot Nate, i'm a beginner and your explanations are really clear 👍Would it be possible to study Song for guy by Elton John ? Best regards.

[@PianowithNate]

Good idea! I'll mull it over

[@MusicDive-ex7mi]

Many thanks! Out of curiosity, you said you play this in root chords. In case you would play inverted chord (or rather inverted arpeggio) -- the order would be from low to high, or according to base form -- for example C/G would be played c-e-g or g-c-e? Or the rule is "what sounds better to you"? 🙂

[@PianowithNate]

Well, certainly I think the rule is indeed "what sounds better to you." If using inversions, I would make it so you dont need to move the right hand between C and Am. So either C = g c e and Am = a c e, OR C = c e g and Am = c e a Just to clarify, I am only talking about the right hand voicing, the left hand would still play the same roots. Slash chords (i.e. C/G) imply that the left hand would play a different note. Cheers!

Hi Ritchie! So sorry about this. I got an email from my web platform this morning that they are having a server issue and are working to fix it as soon as possible. They just sent another update that they've located the issue and are working to implement the fix. I'll let you know as soon as it's back online. Thanks for your patience! This has never happened before, and hopefully will never happen again.

[@pierre-alaintessier2804]

It would have been great if you would also separate your great harmonys so we could learn it

[@PianowithNate]

That's a good suggestion, ill keep that in mind if I do a similar arrangement in a future video

[@estebanisswimming]

Please: The Weeknd Save your tears

[@GoogleUser-qz5zv]

E Major is the secret chord, though! It is the only chord in the sequence that isn’t found in C major. It also occurs in the measure with “Hallelujia”. So, a surprise major chord bringing light and joy to emphasize the glory of “Hallelujia”. A dark e minor where there should be glory and light just feels wrong. There is no secret chord if e minor is played instead of E Major. All the chords are then found in C major. Predictable. Ah! But change to E Major - THAT is magical - and the secret to the shine and praise of Hallelujia!
