You taught me wild world and now you taught me the PROPER WAY 2 play another of my favorite songs. I am a content editor and this channel is the best place to learn how to play these songs for ppl that are just starting or novice players and that’s a large demographic of people so I really appreciate ur work and would love to see if we could get ur numbers up man . Not even pitching u I genuinely would like to see what could be done . Keep up the grind

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks so much!! I'm growing slowly but surely...honestly just really happy to have reached the people I have so far! But I'm in it for the long haul :)

[@gerthornslet4156]

Wow. Eltons "Your Song" and Billys "Just The way you are" is the two songs that made me throw my guitar out and buy a keyboard. I hav'nt learned them yet, but your fatastic teaching make me see the light again. Keep up the good work, love your singing and clear explanation.

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy learning this one, let me know how it goes!

[@fotowue]

Thanks. As a beginner i've learned now my favorite song in round about a week. Fantastic!

[@PianowithNate]

Amazing - cheers!

[@danmurraypiano]

Really good tutorial and you have a great voice!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@markblackman6148]

Hi Nate, here's a little fact for you about 'Your song'. My nephew's degree thesis was about the arrangements on Elton's album 'Elton John' which featured 'Your song'. He spoke for many hours with the arranger, Paul Buckmaster, gathering facts and information. One of the facts was that Buckmaster's arrangement of 'Your song' was deliberately arranged in a way to offset Elton's piano inversions. For example, in the chorus...Elton plays... ...Bb/d And you can tell ... Cm/Eb.. everybody Fm this is your.. Ab song Paul said that he arranged around the route while Elton's piano played the first inversion for the first two chords. Elton also played the first inversion Bb/d in as the link chord before the intro came back in. The recorded chats and interviews are a fascinating listen. So sad he passed away, so talented. I thought you'd like to know. 👍

[@PianowithNate]

Super interesting, thanks for sharing!! It is a beautifully arranged recording all in all

[@julianakk5975]

After watching and learning from your videos for a while I’ve started coming up with my own covers from chord charts on the internet like you showed in a previous video! This is one I’ve been doing. Yours is, of course, more comprehensive and better than what I’ve come up with but it’s still a cool benchmark of my progress. Thanks for continuing to teach us!

[@PianowithNate]

That is really, really great to hear. That is absolutely my hope and why I often go into my thought process while I teach rather than just "showing" people how to play the notes of a song...I really want people to make that leap of confidence of learning these songs themselves (the same way I do before I teach them). So, congrats !!

[@jgpix1]

Great lesson, Nate. I enjoy your approach. Always keeping it simple but offering a little expansion that helps you get there. Without getting too complicated. Keep up the good work!

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks so much! Glad my approach is working for you

[@muzikhed]

Good choice.

[@justin81706]

Nate! This is one of my all-time favorite songs ever. It means the world to me. Thank you so so so so so so much for doing this one.

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome!! That makes me really happy - hope you enjoy learning it :)

[@grayumkay]

Wow amazing 😊 thank you, I’m so happy you have done this song

[@mfhuppes03]

This is one of the songs I was really waiting for from one of your tutorials, especially because of how easy you make it to understand. Thanks, Nate!

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome - and thanks for the kind words!

[@jimbo2167]

Good lesson Nate, this'll be so great to play.

[@dontrapani7778]

Great job, Nate! I will be sure to add this to my "must play" list once I get it down.

[@PianowithNate]

Sweet! Enjoy!

[@CharlieNicolas-ws9ev]

[@jonathandouce4618]

Just bought a piano a month ago and landed on your tutorials and learnt 3 songs already. Thank you for your excellent tutorials. So organized and precise. Also love how so stay true to the recording for the songs. Can you do a Coldplay song? The scientist?😊

[@PianowithNate]

This is so great to hear! The Scientist is a great idea...I think I've hesitated with that one since there are already a bunch of really good videos teaching it on youtube, but I'll revisit

[@КсюшаМуринович]

You can do that one yourself. C, Am, F, G, over and over again.

[@asadasad84]

[@PianowithNate]

I think I will indeed probably tackle that at some point...cheers!

Great tutorial again. Would love to see some supertramp. Your video for the logical song was awesome. Keep up the great work, love your videos 👏.

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks Edward!

[@monicamimo6385]

Thank u so Much. Great lesson. I am following your tutorials from Barcelona!

Awesome! Cheers!

[@gregoryjefferson4712]

Getting it down thank you! Another song suggestion - like you don't have enough. 'At This Moment' by Billy Vera and the Beaters - it's a sleeper

[@jonazgarcia8358]

Nate ! Thanks ❤ so much ! This is one my favorites, I will practice it until it get done 😊. I did request long time ago for Love of my life “ Queens” , so hope you can get us that one also . Anyway thanks for all your tutorial . Super helpful ❤.

[@bliss4tzu]

i love your vids so much, they’ve helped me throughout my whole piano playing journey ! do you think you could do tutorials for laufey & beabadoobee songs ??

[@Christian-ql4vw]

Many thank yous!

[@PianowithNate]

Thank YOU! Really appreciate it.

[@mattderov9682]

Thanks for this one. I was listening to the radio today and heard Laid by James - I couldn't find any tutorials out there on KZbin, so this might be a good one for you to tackle. It can be simple (3 chords), but also could be dressed up with different rhythms and arpeggios could be a great cover candidate for you.

[@PianowithNate]

Checking it out now - I'm not sure I've heard it before! I'll mull it over...

[@suecarr2836]

Love it!!!

[@marenmarne]

Thank you very much!! ❤

[@PianowithNate]

Any time!

Thanks for sharing your videos which I enjoy watching,could you please do Elton John’s Daniel original single version.

On my list! I will play around with it sometime soon...

[@rodolfogonzaleswowsoniceni7417]

Your tutorial is very much appreciated. Can you play a Joe Cocker version of the song You Are So Beautiful? Thank you and more power to you.

[@averyprice9422]

Secret Smile by Phish... thank you for these videos

[@PianowithNate]

Awesome. You can do it! Hope you enjoy. I'll revisit that song...

[@davidkerr4137]

Great video Nate. Particularly like that little walk up with the G in the chorus. Any chance you could look at Eltons 'Something about the way you look tonight' please? I cant find any tutorial for it on KZbin

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@JohnDeUlloa]

Thanks Nate, please change that dark blue to a lighter shade or different color as it's too close close to the Black keys. Just a suggestion.

[@PianowithNate]

Thanks for the feedback - some others commented on this as well and I have switched to a lighter blue for me newer videos :) cheers!!

[@sebastianu2046]

Could you please do Honesty by Billy Joel?

[@mynamev3245]

Day 2 of asking Nate to play Leader of the Landslide by the Lumineers

[@pc2nite]

Thanks for the channel, Nate. A small issue is that I find the Chordie fingered note colour of blue on the black keys a little difficult to quickly see. After printing the pdf I step through the video pausing after each chord and write down its inversion and rhythm in music notation. I generally only read music very slowly but can cope ok later after this procedure limited to just these details.

[@PianowithNate]

Hey this is good feedback! I'll experiment with lightening up the blue a bit

[@albertgalo-ou9cb]

Pls. Teach SKYLINE PIGEON FLY my fav on your next tutorial piano lesson...thank you

[@carlosgonzales1444]

Thanks for the lesson Nate. One question, I noticed your piano has C0, does that mean that C3 is middle C. Not C4. Thanks

[@PianowithNate]

You're correct! I switched software because it gave me more control of the sharps and flats, but it does have this less common octave naming convention which is frustrating and confusing. This reminds me I should message the developers about this...

[@bilaliqbal4474]

Hi nate could you possibly do shiny happy people by R.E.M.

[@felixe5563]

Hi! do you think you could do a tutorial on Those eyes by new west?

[@PianowithNate]

I'll check it out!

[@wilkenzo3166]

We need a Paul McCartney song next… 🧐

[@johnedwardpiano]

Agreed. Anything by Paul is great

[@westfield90]

I want nineteen hundred and eight five

[@huntertanner7809]

@@westfield90yes!

[@PianowithNate]

You're right! I make sure to regularly do "Beatles" songs but I've been accidentally showing my preference for John. Nothing against Paul, love him, John is just dear to my heart in a way that few artists are. I'll be sure my next Beatles tutorial is a Paul song :)
