Hi Kathy!! Awe, thank you so much!! you are so kind!! I am glad that I came across you and we were able to connect!!! Let's keep up our comments on each other's channels!!!
Great job Ben! It's funny I like teaching the building blocks and some theory. BUT what I really like how you provide motivation and happiness for your community and beyond!!
Hi Angeleen! I'm so glad that you found Music Made Easy! I hope that I can share just a bit of my knowledge with you and help you in some way!! Thanks for your support and being part of the Music Made Easy Community!
At last I found you LOL!! Great tutorial Ben I have found that your explanations of the fingering are easy to follow. I hope you have more coming Thank you.😀😀
Hi Terry! First, let me say a huge THANK YOU for the financial support you've given me. That is just amazing!!! Yes, lots more here on the channel and more to come! Hit the notification 🔔 bell so you get reminded when I release my weekly upload in Sunday afternoon!! 🎹👍
Im so excited! You are a fantastic teacher!!! Not everyone is!!! I will practice this so that I can begin to take my keyboard with me when I do live shows!!! 🙏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘 thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much. Talent is all relative.... I think we are ALL talented, it's just what those talents are and how we use them, right? Thanks SO much for listening to this week's tutorial and leaving me a comment. It's always great to hear from you!! 🎶🎹🎹🎹🎶

@@moneyfornothing3264 Oh yeah!! THAT is AWESOME! So glad to have you here, Matt!! You don't even know! Cool people like YOU that will comment and have a conversation are THE BEST! Thanks for subscribing!!
I've played this one more times than I can remember, but I wish I had this video when I first learned it back in the day! What a great resource to contribute to the community!
I'm sure glad you liked this one! It isn't exactly like Journey played it - but it is close enough to help someone that isn't a strong piano player at least pick it up and feel some success. That is my goal at Music Made Easy is to just help people get "up and going" and playing a REAL song!
Thank you so very much, Claudia! I'm glad that you were able to stop by and watch it. Thank you for leaving a comment for the Music Made Easy Community!! 🎶🎹🎹🎹🎶. Hope to see more comments from you on other videos too!!

Hello Patricio from Chile!!! Wow! That is amazing that you found my channel from another part of the world!! Thank you SO MUCH for listening to this video - and I hope that you'll be able to take time and watch other tutorials on my channel. I ALWAYS reply to comments, so do leave me a comment on each video you watch and I'll chat back with you!! Thanks again for being here!
Absolutely classic song to cover! It's good you simplified the left hand a bit. This one can be a tad bit trickier if played the original way. Another solid tutorial Ben! (:
Thanks Kalynn. I appreciate your comments and encouragement! Yes, I try to do an arrangement of the songs here that make them easier for anyone to understand and play. Sometimes that is a tough thing to do.....
Hey Steve!!! You'll get it - just keep at it!! Set a time for practice every day for 15 minutes. This is a hard one to have your right hand doing one thing, and your left hand playing a completely different rhythm, I know!! Thanks for your support and comment!! Let me know how you're progressing with this one!!
Hi there!! Yes, the channel is growing! You need to stop by the channel more often if the last time you were here we were at 500!! That was last month! LOL! Hope you enjoyed the video, and hope things are going well for you!
I went from the REO to this and yes I am subscribing (I was sold after the REO .I know it can’t all be this easy but it will be nice to have a few tunes under my belt and I was able to get these to sound halfway decent reasonably fast. The pace is good and the instruction his easy to understand .
Thank you SO much!! I am so happy to hear that my tutorials are hitting the spot for you! I'm glad that the pace is about right for you. It's really fun to learn some songs like Journey and REO (and others) so that you can feel like you really accomplished something on the piano, right? So glad you found Music Made Easy!!! And thank you very much for subscribing also!
Hi Ben. I subscribed because I really like your method to teaching the keys. I play synth/keyboard but just play by ear (even though I know a bit of theory when it comes to double bass/tuba). Cheers!
Well, hello PingPong85!! I'm so glad to have you join the Music Made Easy Community! Thanks for watching this video and leaving a comment! For every video you watch and leave a comment, I will always reply back. We can get to know each other that way. Where do you live and what is your age? 🎶🎹🎹🎹🎶
Thanks Mckenzie!! I am so glad that you stopped by today and checked out this latest tutorial! It's always good to see your comments here! I hope you're learning!!!
Love this!! I played college soccer and this song was our TRADEMARK pre-game song. So fun to jam out to it with a bunch of teammates. My uncle plays the piano, I'm recommending your channel to him!
Thank you Hailey! (Did I spell that right?). I'm glad that you liked the song - and that would be GREAT for you to recommend my channel to your uncle! Heck, recommend it to anyone and everyone you know! Thanks for stopping by and listening!
I am SO glad to have you here as part of the Music Made Easy Community!! Fantastic! Thank you so much for trusting me to teach you cool songs on the piano, and let you get to know me a little!! Tell me more about you... Where do you live?
Hi there, Kisses! I am so glad that you found my channel too!! Thanks for subscribing and leaving me a comment to let me know! It's great to have you in the Music Made Easy Community! That is awesome that now you can start playing the piano again! Let me know what other videos you watch here on the channel!
You must be so talented to do this! New sub btw! Since you want to know. It feels nice But its hard because My hands won’t do what I want. Also keep up the good work!
Thank you, Distance! I appreciate SO MUCH that you decided to subscribe to Music Made Easy, and be a part of this great community!!! You will get it, just keep practicing!!!
Thanks so much, my drumming friend! We ought to do something together someday! That would be fun! You did see the video that I made a while back of me playing the drums, right?
I would love to have Steve Perry's voice so I can sing while I play..lol..is this in the key of E ?..I am definitly going to practice this song..thank you so much for making it easy for us all.. Cheers!!!
yes, wouldn't we ALL like to sing like Steve Perry?? Amazing!! Glad to see that you're working your way through many of the videos here on my channel! I appreciate you leaving comments along the way!!! Thank you!!!
Hey Ben i am just a begginner and love the tutorials, a stupid question is there a limit to how many songs your brain can retain or is it easier the more songs you learn?
Hey Riccardo! So glad that you found Music Made Easy - and I'm happy that you love the tutorials. I really enjoy doing these and helping people like YOU learn to play the piano better! No, there is no limit to what your brain can retain. It does get easier the more you play, trust me! The secret that I have found is that if I learn a song, and then I add it into my practice sessions as I'm learning other songs too. So, in a couple months, when you sit down to play, you are playing multiple songs in one practice session, and then learning a new song. Make sense? Glad that you've let me be part of your piano journey!! Thank you!
Yes, Ash Leigh, this one will take some practice. It's one of this that require your left hand to do a different rhythm than your right hand. But I have confidence in you!! How is the Richard Marx doing going for you?
Ha Ha! Well, I'm glad that you picked Music Made Easy to spend some time on your phone with me! You know, you're always welcome to go back and watch my past videos again! Watch Time always helps the channel!!

I love your teaching style you have helped me so much. I cant wait to get this song down. Can you make a video about rythym and keeping in time.
If I can just get my two hands to play in sync I'll be all set. Thank you so much for the great instruction!
Hey Steve!!! You'll get it - just keep at it!! Set a time for practice every day for 15 minutes.
