[@panmad6156]

What a wonderful instrument..

[@benbrophy6905]

Thank you so much for uploading - greatly appreciate this. Keep up the good work ;)

[@keithrobbo1000]

Oh you little beauty...........he's only gone and done it again. Naekid for Presidency !!!!

[@etoyiaburrell271]

i've been looking for this tutorial for YEARS!!!! thank you! if you get a chance, Jill Scott "whenever you're around" would be nice

[@TheNaekid]

Awesome thanks Toy! Good suggestion - I want to get to a Jill scott double feature tutorial sometime soon.

[@LawrinMaxwellsmpc500]

Yo this is spot on, you got all the chords voiced the exact same as the original. You are right the song has a different chord progression, the songs in A-flat major but they use that gsharp minor and bmajor a lot so they use both accidentals. Great work dude

[@nick9802]

That was beautiful

[@BillPhillips2000]

Thanks. Simple, BUT flavorful!

[@movimox]

Tellement stylé

[@TheNaekid]

Thanks! Lounge Lizard for the E. piano, and Logics "stubby bass" - everything EQed and compressed of course.

[@cbro777]

Beautiful......

[@davidwood6089]

Sounds great to me I’ve been listening to it the past few days and was about 75% identical to what you got.

[@joemegguh9298]

Great video keep up the good work.

[@TheRosegina]

love it!

[@Joefoxsub]

Nice job!

[@TheNaekid]

Cool glad you do!

[@TheNaekid]

glad its helping!

[@cshyira]

you are a big fan of Erykah Badu !!!

[@TheNaekid]

Thanks for the nice comment, glad you're here!

[@Mazinga]

Great tutorial, love the fender sounds. Where did you get the samples from?

[@LonzCantiLife]

Mazinga sounds like lounge lizard VST

[@ratchetheros]

Most unextpected intro to a piano tutorial

[@anthonyk5496]

Yes, yes, yes! Really diggin the tutorials man. question for you: Do you find light synth-weighted keys a hinderance when you play, compared to your fully-weighted piano keys of your Korg/Yamaha? I'm learning on the synth I have now, but thinking about investing in something with proper keys... Also thinking I should just use the damn keyboard I've got!

[@TheNaekid]

I think you should learn on weighted keys - but the nonweighted allows you to play in a really rhythmic style and you can do things with non weighted keys that you cant do with weighted! Like with the vintage keyboards - clavinet, electric piano, and synths!

[@quincybaker728]

Great tutorial. What board are you playing.

[@TheNaekid]

Thank you!!

[@vituvalera]

do you have a "rimshot" lesson? from the same erykah badu

[@TheNaekid]

thanks man!

[@TheNaekid]

Thanks!

[@drgnfrc13]

Apparently I need to learn a ton more theory, because this went way over my head.

[@jfjusa1]

study your chords in all keys and learn the intervals of the major/minor scales

[@mystro601]

Miss your tutorials. Do you have a website of new instructional material? And or are your products still available for sale or download?

[@TheNaekid]

thank you!

[@TheNaekid]

Definitely my man, keep it tuned, I'll be announcing the opening of my official website where there will be a Robert Glasper tutorial available!

[@MACEtheartist]

[@gironbowman3530]

[@LonzCantiLife]

[@kissfate45]

My god. This is amazing! Have you ever heard of With You by Marsha Ambrosius? I've been looking everywhere for it, and I cannot find it!

[@JazzDiva1]

hat program is that playing the virtual niotes?????

[@TheNaekid]

Goin on a trip to the other side of the world for 2 months but after that I will be!

[@OmriShir]

Please find it in you to make a tutorial for Out My Mind Just In Time. At least the opening piano part

[@GrandHealerofDivineRighteous]

WHAT TONE setting is this? I'm on a keyboard and picked bass guitar but church organ sounds better.

[@nik9999]

owwwww yes! beautiful. more Erykah please!!! oh and D'Angelo's - Africa.... please do! :)

[@TheNaekid]

nik9999 Thanks! Check out Erykah's "I Want You" tutorial @ www.funkpianoacademy.com/product/erykah-badu-i-want-you-tutorial/

[@nik9999]

Naekids Keyboard Tutorials purchased! now go on brother - that d'angelo request will make my year ;) haha keep up the great work !

[@TheNaekid]

nik9999 Thanks for the support! I'll put it on my list!

[@andrejohnson1073]

Can you do apple tree by Erykah badu

[@alexandrapickens4373]

Did you know Out My Mind, Just In Time by her? I've been trying to learn it for quite some time now. Would love a tutorial on that, willing to pay for sheet music as well if you do. Please write back

[@TheNaekid]

it's a dope song fasho, I'll file it into the suggestions box! Thanks for tuning in Alexandra!

[@alexandrapickens4373]

No doubt. How big is this suggestion box of yours? Lol wondering how I can move this up to the top of your list

[@TheNaekid]

Alexandra Pickens Really big LOL. The songs that make it usually have either a ton of views (750,000+) on the official song, or they are just too catchy and I just have to transcribe it.

[@alexandrapickens4373]

Email me @alexandraapickens please. I've already downloaded a couple of your full tutorials.

[@TheNaekid]

Alexandra Pickens cant, unless you give me a domain name haha. BTW, just so you know, I dont do personal requests anymore. But if you've got other questions, feel free to email me at [e-mail]

[@mjolden]

I think you did a great job, personally. A lot of times with R&B, especially Neo Soul (this song is a prime example of Neo Soul), the chords are kinda weird or don't make a lot of sense, as I'm still trying to grasp it myself. You move a little too quickly, I must admit, and having to pause and rewind every other chord is a little annoying, but overall great job, dude. Sounds great, once I get it down I'll upload a vid of myself.

[@TheNaekid]

Cool man! Thanks for the feedback!! Keep on jammin!

[@KenNoLastName]

Matthew Olden yeah, neo soul has a lotta dissonant chords lol.

[@mjolden]

KenNoLastName That's what makes it more beautiful than the average progression lol. They go against the grain of music theory, so it really puts the "soul" in neo soul.

[@mjolden]

***** It's funny, cause I figured out how to play it already lol, But thanks anyway, bro.

[@PLanBBeaTZ]

what s the name of you site?

[@peggylee1586]

Jazz does stuff like that

[@datwasdope]

Yo. Lauren Hill's "Nothing Even Matter" (feat. D'angelo) would be DOPE!!!!!

[@TheNaekid]

Ill put it on the list, cuz thats a sick track!!

[@TheNaekid]

I would never ever ever take that job haha

[@robj2e]

The jones girls, nights over egypt!!!! please!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[@JazzDiva1]

Hey Naekids w

[@peggylee1586]

Jazz

[@TheNaekid]

:)

[@Anti8705]

You're welcome! And check out my vid I just posted of me playing it now

[@TheNaekid]

nice job - you got it!!

[@therubyshow1]

Get to the tutorial bud ! Hahaha jk

[@therubyshow1]

Thank you

[@wntriam6485]

that tremelo is irritating as hell haha

[@donnyswift5065]

Maaaan.....you are a good teacher....but JUS5TTEACH..!! All that mental exercising and wrestling over notes and chords is DRAINING...!! Play the song...teach the chord progression and stick with what you are doing...opposed to second guessing yourself and confusing most us...!! You play a chord...then change the chord...as you break down and analyze and debate with YOURSELF bout which one is right..????? Thanks anyways

[@TheNaekid]

Lol - you are absolutely right. Sorry, and I hope to do better in life in the future :)

[@brandonwoods8535]

when you show the cords you just quickly tap the keys of each chord so fast that i cant even tell what your hitting because i dont know where each note on the keyboard is. and you keep rambling on about who knows what playing other chords that aren't a part of the song. just teach the song one way in one form as is and show the notes of the chords clearly and please stop rambling its frustrating trying to pause the video a million times just to see what you played.

[@TheNaekid]

lol I love rambling though!! ramble ramble ramble.

[@TheNaekid]

Also! for less than the price of a candy bar at 7-11 you can buy the chord sheet, which spells out every note I play :) check the link in the video description.

[@brandonwoods8535]

thanks for being positive

[@TheNaekid]

Brandon Woods :)

[@mrgloc513]

Neo soul and some gospel chords don't make sense to me. they make me break all the rules of chord structure I've learned

[@DNoelProductions]

Thank you!!

[@MultiRedman30]

Dope
