Piano player for many years (early 70s in age) but never really got past intermediate level apart from a few special pieces. Now retired and more time available for music. Love your teaching methods. Also came here from Ricks channel and subscribed.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Rick Beato led me here , I’m not piano player but I know mega talent when I see it , you should be a full time you tuber

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Very kind of you-Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lizzitaylorsversion13]

I feel so proud of myself, I just learned this song by listening to the whole tutorial once, I’m blind and I love piano tutorials like this where everything is perfectly explained

[@miguelatubia8466]

I need ro say somthg you've never heard or read : you're a wonderful teacher. My hat's falling.

[@billsmith3182]

The way you explain these songs is brilliant. You break it down so easily for novices, you show us the notes, dont go too fast. Just excellent..

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks, that’s really kind of you! 🙏🏻

[@galacticminx]

This is a great visual setup. We can see four different views at the same time - you playing as a whole person, just your hands from above, the keys highlighted with note names, and the notes on the grand staff!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Glad you like it!

Very nice & clear tutorial. Can’t wait to start playing !!

I finally have found somebody who can give simply and a proper lesson.

Holy diver! I'm actually doing it! And while I know music, I suck at playing it. This was great.

[@JamesWilliams-sf1vh]

Hi Pierre; I am an alien. I only can use one finger on my left hand, what can I do? I love Piano music and this song.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

There is a lot that you can do. I’ll make a video response for you shortly.

[@kimberc813]

😂😂😂This comment and answer is sooooo freaking cool!!! Love it!!😂😂

[@atlantargh]

lots of people avoid using the thumb and pinkie on black keys; try the pointer and ring finger, respectively. We all have different shape/sized hands - - take any fingering recommendations with a grain of salt. Good luck!

[@teedtad2534]

@@pierrejpiscitelli NO one ever did -" Impossible Dream" by Tom Jones,.. there is a really good Karaoke version of it on KZbin, and you can find Jerry Butler singing - " For Your Precious Love". Live Doo Wop version on KZbin! There are two males and one female back up harmony singers in this video... Jerry is wearing a dark grey suit....the piano sounds like a rippling rain 🌧️ 💧 drop sounds.... Beautiful!! You can ALSO find the original recording vs his Doo Wop live on stage.... The Righteous Brothers - " You Never Walk Alone " is another Live on stage is another great song for the spirit! KZbin also has a wonderful karaoke version like their 1965 live stage version of it on KZbin!! Do those please!! Thanks for asking me!!!! ......... 🙏🍎🍎🙏

Could you also teach us “Trouble” by Coldplay? Thanks!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Added to the list!

[@The_Sochmusic]

Legend.

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

Crossover from Rick Beato just now. Not sure how I'll do on this. My Yamaha keyboard is on top of my dresser so pretty much at chest level. I still manage. Wondering if you teach how to play anything by Traffic or Procol Harum?

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Get a decent keyboard stand, and make sure your arms are relaxed and forming an L shape. Wrists straight and relaxed. Love both of those bands, I’ll add to my list! “Whiter Shade of Pale” maybe…

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

@@pierrejpiscitelli Actually it came with a stand. I just haven't set it up due to lack of room. Thanks for the possibility of a Procol song. There are lots of them to choose from. I also love old Van Der Graaf for keyboards. I mostly play guitar. Writing songs with a friend. He plays piano and keyboards.

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

@@pierrejpiscitelli Thanks for inspiring me. I carried the keyboard upstairs so we can use it in our next songwriting session. In the meantime I can mess around on it trying out these tips from you.

[@peterbernhard7415]

First time around, I did subscribe. The tempo of demonstrating iis just fine, guess to anybody, me, I am into harmonies, chords, these days, and, interestingly,, I find mentioned "chord" at 0:34. I do believe, over here, on the Continent, at least, many piano lessons do without mentioning chords or harmonies at all. (wonder if this changes over time, or geographically, ways of teaching, I mean). The first chord mentioned is E flat major. Wob, just beats me. This comes to a surprise, as even beginners, guitar, piano, expect something like, F, after C and G.. What is E flat major on the cirecle of quints? So casually mentioned, to beginners, the more so intriguing to those about to advande:. As was insinuated, in a very positive, irritating way, I was going up in the cirecle, arriving at the utmost top - which may show that I am a beginner - but then tried the "flat" - you did say nothing about sharp - and to my bewildermenti It's only the second quint below the F chord (more familiar, indeed, I find the ups: like D major, after C and G). So, this is "after dark" (dark black key of F), and brings P. Simon to my mind "reunion", only one step away. My bold assuming is that the empowerment of going down two, where one would have sufficed, leads to imagining to go up from the C, not to the sky of D but till there iso more, but renuion only a half note, not even a half note away from what wasn't easy in the first place. Cheers, Thanks for letting me be bubbly, it's not that it's your fault. Thank you for letting your space, very much in advance. Great teching, keep it up! P.S. I will edit the typos as soon as I see clearly, not now. so, as a custome, I'öö be sure back.

[@thenativepianist2897]

soclose to 1kkk subssssss good luckkkkk whats special on hitting that milestone any aurprises???

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Maybe something like “A Thousand Years”, “1000 Miles?” Lol

[@lesliedicroce8414]

Hi, random question but where did you get your mouse pad??

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Amazon! Type in “carpet mouse pad” or something like that

[@lesliedicroce8414]

Thank you! @@pierrejpiscitelli

[@itorres008]

Nice explanation for beginners. But, there is more to the song than this. The part "Nothing else compares.... " Gb, Db, Ab... And the 3rd arpeggiated chord part on the main riff is Eb Ab C, not F Ab C... The overall chord is an Fm7. There is an F bass, but the arpeggio is Eb Ab C, where the Eb is the 7th of the Fm7. Towards the end the arpeggio changes when it's played a bit higher up.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Of course, there is a bridge.

[@phxntomplanet]

What about the other riff in the song Dx

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Ha yes there is a bridge! Trying to keep this super simple and friendly, just teaching the main hooks of pop songs. If people really want long and detailed tutorials, I will gladly make them! Still sort of scoping it out… thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

[@phxntomplanet]

@@pierrejpiscitelli I think it’s beneficial to have all sections of the song especially to be able to play it all the way through. If people only want the hook they can just choose not to watch the rest of the tutorial. Thanks for your response :) good video otherwise

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Totally. This was actually my first ever KZbin video and experimentation with the multi-camera/light up keys, so I guess I was trying to keep it short. But, I’m glad to hear that you’d be down for a longer video! I think I was also afraid that a 30 minute video would turn people off, since most are looking for quick, easy and instant gratification.

[@parkewithoutreverse2]

You're going way too fast for a beginner to catch up. C flat D minor H sharp can you help with what all this means and where the keys are?

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

It's important not to expect real-time results to occur during the 6-7 minute duration of this video. You can slow it down, pause, restart, etc. In a private lesson, I could easily spend 45 minutes or so teaching this song to a student! No matter what, there are going to be plenty who feel that this is too easy, and others who believe it's too difficult as unfortunately it's impossible for me to know your experience or prior knowledge.The rate at which people learn, or what their baseline of musical knowledge might be varies tremendously. First thing you should do is learn the names of the notes on the piano. There are plenty of videos on this subject. Also, go on amazon and get some note labeling stickers to stick on your keyboard. This will help you as well. As soon as you see me demonstrate one of the three-note shapes, pause the video and take as long as you need to find the notes on the piano. All of the visual information that you need is here. Good luck!!

[@parkewithoutreverse2]

@@pierrejpiscitelli Experience? I helped someone move a piano once. This is the first time I've touched any musical instrument. 😁 I was really proud of myself until hearing this is like the absolute easiest song to learn on piano... I thought I was doing a difficult song!!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

@@parkewithoutreverse2 It's really difficult to jump head-first into a piece like this without any musical knowledge. I feel your pain. No wonder you're frustrated!! Should I make a "crash course" video that explains the names of the notes, where they are, etc.?? While this is a beginner piece in some ways, there is a baseline of knowledge that you could learn quickly, that would make the whole process more pleasant for you.

[@girlplanetboy]

The second chord starting on F….. he says the next note is Eb, but it’s not; it’s Bb. Tsk tsk!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Haha I have to rewatch that
