    Paul manages to capture Sade’s music. The piano is complex but he captures the melody with chords. I play Sade’s music wish I could capture it like Paul. Great job!

    Paul, you're one of the few people who's covers I sometimes like more than the original.

    • @paulwwells
      @paulwwells  Год назад

      Thank you prometheus for your open-mindedness. Yes, there are examples on RUclips (none of them mine though) where a cover matches or exceeds the popularity of the song as first released.

    Thank you! I love IS IT A CRIME especially the chorus and the solo parts. You played it all beautifully!

    Diamond life, lover boy.
    We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
    City lights and business nights.
    When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
    No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
    When sentiment is left to chance.
    No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
    No need to ask.
    He's a smooth operator,
    Smooth operator,
    Smooth operator,
    Smooth operator.
    Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, western Maine.
    Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
    Face to face, each classic case.
    We shadow box and double cross,
    Yet need the chase.

    Paul I owe you a huge depth for this tutorial. I have learned so much in playing my fav Sade songs particularly " Is It A Crime. " I can barely see your right - hand for that twinkle part for the chord for the chorus " Is It A Crime. " I tried to play that part by ear and I don't think I'm quite getting it. I would love to see more of your right-hand for this song! Thanks again Paul - your playing is divine!

Anyways ...You're awesome though. I'll just watch a million times and learn the hard way. How did you learn all these songs? How long you been tapping the keys?

  • @paulwwells
    @paulwwells  13 лет назад

    @BipProductionsBeats The problem is that I have to rig up a different camera for the tutorials, it takes time to get it to focus correctly, then it takes ages to transfer it to the video editing software and put it all together; so unfortunately I cannot make tutorials that easily. Plus I'm generally pretty busy at the moment, I've only managed to push out one video in the last five weeks. I will do a batch of tutorials soon though and I'll include this one. Sorry again about the delay.

    This may come, this may come as some surprise
    But I miss you
    I could see through all of your lies
    But still I miss you
    He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
    He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine
    He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
    She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
    Is it a crime?
    Is it a crime
    That I still want you?
    And I want you to want me too
    My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
    My love is taller, taller than the Empire State
    It dives, it jumps, and it ripples like the deepest ocean
    I can't give you more than that, surely, you want me back
    Is it a crime?
    Is it a crime
    That I still want you?
    And I want you to want me too, mmm-mmm
