I just decided to learn this and here you are with an excellent tutorial. Glad I found this. Thanks Nate.

[@PianowithNate]

Glad to hear it!

[@julieogorman501]

Thrillled to find this. Thank you !

[@bonniesharmony]

Thank you Nate.

[@johnedwardpiano]

This is one of those songs I had forgotten about. Then when I heard it I thought to myself, I love that song but didn't remember who sang it. For some reason, when I think of Joni Mitchell, I always think, "Big yellow taxi." Great tutorial

[@PianowithNate]

I only discovered it a few years ago...its so good!

[@trenthogan4212]

I had no idea Joni could also play piano...seems she's a pretty decent player too. Amazing song and lesson. Thank you

[@PianowithNate]

Oh yea, she's super solid!! And thanks :)

[@sonjahewer5527]

Great tutorial Nate! Thank you! This way, I learned that beautiful song I have wanted to learn for years in only two days 😅

[@PianowithNate]

That's awesome!

[@AshleyGomezi]

You know I was waiting for this!!! I've been working on it for a bit now and it just sounds so beautiful and challenging, especially to play and sing! Definitely the most complex advanced one I've learned thus far. THANK YOU so much for this amazing tutorial of one of my favorite songs!!

[@PianowithNate]

Yay!!

[@oohhyah3545]

could you do “my old man” by joni mitchell piano tutorial, please?❤

[@ericfrederic5413]

I came here to say the same thing. There is no good tutorial of that song on youtube

[@back-seat-driver1355]

Wonderful! yes, the level is right. Great explanation and teaching strategy! thanks so much, Nate!

[@PianowithNate]

Glad it helped!

[@fernandlepage1326]

Thanks for the tutorial..love that song 🙏

[@PianowithNate]

Me too :)

[@ritadragotta542]

I was so excited to see this selection! Excited to learn it.

[@jgpix1]

Interesting and timely choice, Nate! This is DEEP. One of the more advanced songs you’ve done. I’ll work on it all year for the ‘23 season 👊

[@PianowithNate]

Indeed! I didn't want to simplify it too much but I realized given how complex it is, I probably didn't post in time for anyone to master it for xmas this year :-P

[@johnedwardpiano]

Wonderful song, Nate. I can't wait to give it a try.

[@pearljoyoftheorient]

So good! Wish you all the best and thanks for all you do!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you! You too!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks! Welcome!

[@Boots-zh9iu]

Wow this is so beautiful and the man can sing like really sing what a voice !! Thank you for the tutorial :)

[@PianowithNate]

Wow thank you!! Glad you enjoyed

[@mariascanlan6838]

Thank you so very much

[@PianowithNate]

You are so welcome

[@caroldouglass5220]

Really nice tutorial. I’m going to transpose it to the key of F, to fit my vocal range, but the instruction will make that easy. ( I’ve studied piano since age six and was a piano major in college. But still, the lesson made the piano accompaniment clear.) This is one of my favorite songs, with a lightly touched melancholy that Mitchell did so well.

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome! As you can hear, I would have done a lot better if I had transposed it to F myself and sung lower haha Glad the video was helpful! Enjoy :)

[@martinaleopoldseder636]

Thank you, Nate! This is a great tutorial! So helpful!

[@PianowithNate]

You're very welcome!

Could you do " right here waiting " please

[@zara-rx8xj]

This is so helpful! Is there any chance you could do ‘Blue’ by Joni Mitchell ? There aren’t any online.

[@PianowithNate]

Good idea! I'll think about

[@panacheshahGamer]

Looking forward as always 🎉❤❤😊😊

[@jeffconrad8259]

HI Nate - great video and channel! Do you have a MIDI file of your version of River that I can download? Thank you!

[@PianowithNate]

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I no longer have the recording session for this video...sorry about that!

[@bonniesharmony]

Can you do Laura Nyro “American Dove” ? I truly enjoy your videos, I’m working on “River”, I’m just a beginner but I love Joni Mitchell, I do play the guitar and I taught myself playing her songs using her tunings. I noticed someone already requested “Blue”, I’d like to try. Thank you Nate.

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check them out!

[@robynnerossrancapan1946]

Hi pls teach us how to play knee deep at atp for intermediate people pls I’ve been waiting to learn it but some are super hard and some don’t sound like it

[@nohaylamujer]

Instant subscribe . Thanks. Could you do more Joni songs? The Last Time I saw Richard?

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks for the sub! And I'll check it out and mull it over :)

[@tincan6374]

Wish I could totally slow you tube down as it is fast for beginners i stop and start but much slower option would be great

[@PianowithNate]

You can! Click the little settings wheel in the lower right side right below the video, then hit playback speed, and set to 50% or whatever you like :)

[@pelkk9080]

While it's Christmas, can you please teach the Christmas song of Ed Sheeran and Elton John 😁

[@DanaManzella]

This is an incredible tutorial. Do you have the sheet music for this to purchase? It would be great to refer back to

[@PianowithNate]

Good to hear from you! Unfortunately I don't 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 google search for accompaniment sheet music for this song, I bet you'll find something pretty similar!

[@johnnycache75]

Are you going to do new Xmas songs this year

[@PianowithNate]

Yep! I just released one on sunday and will release more in the next couple of weeks. Here's my Xmas playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrUdZSMf7-tmdEsi=JL_usqeS2mz291AJ

[@johnedwardpiano]

How about "Rocket Man"?
