I love this song and can't believe you covered it. Bravo. Now, "Maybe Im Amazed." I wish I wasn't working 60-70 hours a week. I would do nothing but learn all these amazing songs. You are the best, Nate. I got your chord course. I enjoy it too.

[@PianowithNate]

This was a fun one!! Keep it up John - cheers!

[@cripzrus]

You are just the best Nate. Thanks for the clear and detailed talk throughs on all your work, especially the best fingering for us ambitious beginners.

[@PianowithNate]

🙏🙏

[@jvieira5719]

Dude, your amazing...glad i found you. I just started playing 2 months ago and I almost have Imagine to memory, just have to speed up things a bit to keep the tempo. Women seems challenging but as they say, no pain, no gain! Thanks again for being out there! Joe

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome - keep it up!!

[@bjornkinding6998]

Nate, you're the BEST! Sir Paul and 007, can't beat that. Unless of course you add Roger Moore as Bond and top it off with Nate's piano tutorial! A quadruple in brilliance! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@PianowithNate]

Good to hear from you Bjorn! Cheers!

[@eatyourgmos7260]

I've always loved, and have always been curious about the final chord of this song from when I was a kid. Things didn't look too promising when I saw you repeatedly hit the A sharp with the right hand during the outro, but come that final chord, you nailed it. Great job! Now I know what the chord actually is 👍

[@PianowithNate]

Haha awesome! Happy to help

[@ginghamt.c.5973]

Thanks, Brilliant Tutorial: Especially the segment around 8:02 ; finally broken that part down to be learnable !

[@PianowithNate]

Great to hear!

[@rocheyboy7777]

Absolute beginner to piano (3weeks) but played a little guitar years ago….Aside from breaking down the song. You have a gift in not making the lesson feel like a chore or too serious, and your personality shines through 🌟 Thank you 👍🏻

[@PianowithNate]

Wow, thank you! So great to hear this

[@jameswhaley3287]

Congrats Nate, this is one of my all time fave tunes! Excellent tutorial, expertly taught! Comprehensive and clear!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you!!! This was super fun to make

[@Rick51]

I appreciate this channel a lot. Thank you, Nate.

[@PianowithNate]

My pleasure!!

[@nm7804]

Excellent tutorial as usual, love the chords in this song.

[@PianowithNate]

Me too!

[@MikeDiTerra]

Great tutorial Nate! Can't wait to learn this one!

[@PianowithNate]

Enjoy!

[@FineArtsMusic]

your singing has improved as well as the quality of your tutorials!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks so much!! I'm definitely working on it

[@vincentguarino4262]

Thanks for breaking down the tricky part! I learned it 4 years ago and haven't played in that long. Totally forgot how to play it. Fantastic refresher course! Much appreciated!💯👍

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome!!

[@jean-baptiste6479]

...made easy I can not thank you enough....

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@Grandrew_]

Another incredible tutorial! Thanks so much for choosing to share your skills with us. I feel like with your teaching style, a Band on the Run tutorial would be amazing! Thanks again Nate :)

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Band on the run is a cool idea, ill mull it over

[@Marlene-ou5ol]

@@PianowithNate I have already "too much on my plate" with all your videos ( almost thinking of quitting my job) . I would add "Only love remains" (which is a piano song), "Baby's Request" ( jazzy), "Tomorrow", "The Back Seat of my car", "It never happened before"... I had found a couple of months ago a cover of Band on the Run on piano that I found quite impressive (but it was not a tutorial --- not even possible to take down the notes played ). But after this one, I am going to Strawberry Fields.

[@keeganleach4264]

You just got yourself a new fan thanks I just listened to "you're so vain".

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome! Welcome to the channel :)

[@AlsBox]

Thanks Nate great job! The section before the middle 8 is so impressive, 👍🎹 I played it to some friends they now think I can play properly 😀

[@PianowithNate]

Nice!!! Glad to help :)

[@speedyboy1942]

This one is great, almost finished with the song. I would love to see what you could do on a journey song if you are interested! Cheers mate!

[@westfield90]

I was waiting for this one. Awesome

[@PianowithNate]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@LegioPiano]

Man this song brings back memories. Nice tutorial sir!

[@PianowithNate]

Music has a way of doing that!

[@rh45sth62]

Awesome, thanks Nate !

[@ricardos7852]

Thanks! High quality piano lesson!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks!

[@dj_plays4261]

Bruh thank you so much! I love this song so much but I just couldnt find a simple tutorial😭 and then I found this! This was really helpful. I subbed:)

[@PianowithNate]

Happy to hear that, and welcome to the channel!

[@BillBodi-oz3mh]

Very good I am going to study it and play it and you teach very well thank you

[@PianowithNate]

Enjoy!

[@kennedyseaton5485]

can you do “junk” by mr mccartney next?? great cover, i’m such a big fan of his

[@PianowithNate]

Cool idea! And thanks :)

[@todor6067]

Hiya Nate, could you perhaps make a tutorial on how to play Jordan Maxs' "Out of luck", an insanely good song!!!

[@johnyoung5703]

Fantastic Nate! Thank you. How about ‘Blackbird singing on the dead of night ‘. Might be a bit easier !

[@DanteSpenkelink]

Once again, great work! Would love to hear a cover of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

[@PianowithNate]

I'm planning on this one for sure! Saving it for when I release my music theory course since the lyrics in the first verse are very relevant to that :) hopefully will be out in early summer

[@DanteSpenkelink]

@@PianowithNate I can’t wait! I don’t know where I would be without your tutorials, they’ve been a great help.

[@ЖоэльЛамбер]

Thank you and bravo. Your vidéos are fantastic

[@PianowithNate]

Glad you like them!

[@onaldocardoso9663]

Excelente tutorial, parabens

[@robertmehr6650]

Another brilliant tutorial Nate , please could you have a look at McCartneys song Tomorrow,love to hear you do that one .

[@desoxido]

Really good. Thanks for the tutorial, although I think McCartney does octaves with his right hand in the instrumental part. I do it that way and it sounds pretty cool.

[@PianowithNate]

It definitely sounds cool! It's hard to tell if it's played on piano or we are just hearing the higher octave added by the orchestral instruments. Either way, quick octave melodies are a bit challenging for much of my audience here, so I left it out in the video, but I think it is awesome when people build on my arrangements. Cheers!

[@simonsimon325]

Thanks for your help getting me up and running playing piano. Could you please do Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks at some point? Cheers.

[@PianowithNate]

Oh wow that is a good idea, love that song

[@Marlene-ou5ol]

Thanks a lot. Good videos.

[@PianowithNate]

Cheers!

[@geraldwitcher9174]

I'd love to hear you do Wasted Time by the Eagles!

[@laradomingues6149]

Hello Nate!!! Thank you for another awesome tutorial!!! Could you do Cinnamon Girl by Lana Del Rey??? Thank youuu

[@13Sala13]

The Bm7 chord in the verse, I'm also playing a B in the right hand. The D7 I have a D in the right hand. I get that your video is aimed at a certain skill level so are you simplifying the chords a bit, or are you playing what you think McCartney plays? Thanks for the video.

[@PianowithNate]

Hi! It's a good question, and I am revisiting now with headphones. I'm usually pretty good at picking out details but I am genuinely torn on if the right hand is also adding the root on those chords or not. It is a subtle difference, accentuating the root note slightly more, and while it changes the character a tiny bit, it doesnt really change the color. My honest opinion (I'm sure others would disagree)is...in this case it isn't super important to make sure to do it EXACTLY as he did...either of these options sound "close enough," and the deciding factor should be a combination of what feels best for your hand and what sounds best to your ears (sometimes this is even dependent on a particular piano!). Hope that was useful, cheers!

[@isaiantonio3707]

Can u Pls pls pls do the daylight live from paris version i’m beggin

[@mjstow]

"Love that chord" you say. Oh me too. me too.

[@PianowithNate]

😎

[@stevemcnerney7345]

Smackwater Jack? Please

[@allanjulio6705]

Can you do a tutorial for meatloaf's "i would do anything for love"...

[@PianowithNate]

Great suggestion!

[@ostideciboire4705]

On the line "live and let die", Paul doesn’t plays the G7 on the word "die" but one beat later

[@PianowithNate]

You're correct! At least for the first "die" of each chorus, they hit together on the second line. I believe I did it right in my performance but I was indeed a little sloppy with it in the lesson itself

[@bigbadbob143]

wow

[@hanatazouar3261]

9:11 time stamp

[@jameswhite7298]

Thanks for a great tutorial, but your note 'spellings' are wrong ! Harmonically, there's a huge difference between G# and Ab or C# and Db, even though they are enharmonics - but other than that, good stuff.

[@PianowithNate]

Hi James! You are totally right. Unfortunately, for songs like this one that don’t fit neatly in one key, I am at the mercy of my midi software. To set it to display all #s or all bs, it often produces natural signs on white keys which looks messy and confusing as well. I’ve been writing the developer begging for more control :) Glad you still enjoyed it though!

[@CesarOmarMarinCSR]

🤌👀👍

[@davidcohen26]

If you are not an absolute beginner this is really terrible to follow. Maybe make a fast version in the beginning, and than slow it down...

[@PianowithNate]

I appreciate the feedback! I do a full playthrough at the end of each video, it could be helpful to skip ahead to that. Perhaps I should make that more clear...

[@eldkir]

Great tutorial! How about the little flute part during the Gm section?
