Huge "thank you" for doing this video! I recently joined a covers band that is doing this Beatles 'deep cut' and now I think I got it! Just when you think you know a Beatles song, you don't! Deceptive simplicity at its finest. Keep on playing and posting!
thank you so much. i just want to know how important your videos are to me. i'm a middle-aged man who is trying to learn piano. i LOVE the instrument and i love this stuff!
Hey, I just want to say is you're probably the best online piano teacher on RUclips. I searched up Strawberry Fields Forever and I got your video. I watched it and it looked hard at first but once I kept watching the video over and over and using your sheet music to reference, it came easy and I was playing that song as good as you. Now my friend told me to learn Hey Bulldog as he says "It has the greatest piano line in any song". So I listened to Hey Bulldog and I found the song amazing.
Hello! I'm 17 and I play since I was 16. Not much time, but I swear I'm a good player because of your tutorials! Really, I learn how to play piano by myself and I'm getting better every time I pratice. Thank u for being my teacher! Keep it, please, it helps me to study music. :) Kisses from Brazil (sorry for my bad english)
I don't think so, that line cliché at the pre-riff part doesn't sound McCartney. It actually sounds a lot like Lennon trying to make it sound rocky, just like he did in post-Beatles songs like I'm The Greatest. However, if it did so, it would probably sound a lot like Paul's vaudeville-ish piano stuff, such as Martha My Dear, When I'm Sixty Four etcetera.
dude, thank you sooooo much! iv'e bought a piano & i started to play it just because i saw your video of in my life, and i start to practice, thank you, you are such a wonderful teacher! i don't know how to read music but is a pleasure play piano this way!
good news john! my piano teacher didnt force me to play hot cross buns or anything when i started learning piano. she taught me hey jude as my first song! after that i learned penny lane, helter skelter, oh darling, and recently, maxwells silver hammer!
+TheMetalMisfits All British kids had music in their regular school curriculum back then. That's why UK produced so many amazing rock bands. Everyone left high school with fundamentals.
When guitars became popular, it was said you could walk down any Street in England and see pianos out for the trash. What a shame. Even homes without much money had a piano often. Let's remember something else too. They had been playing for a couple years, and being around George Morton, they were learning as much as they were writing. They had limited access to everything in the studio and as far as instruments. To an extent, they could all play basic piano, which you can see in the Let It Be video. Hell, if you can play guitar, and learn basic music, just how to build chords using the major scale and the formulas, you can play any chord with ease on a piano. Of course that doesn't make you able to play the piano. It makes you able to play any single chord. Like most guitar players, I wish I could play the piano, and one of these days and as I've said for year, I'm going to start learning more and getting the coordination down. Been saying that for 40 years. Lol
that's the part that gets me. as not a spring chicken anymore, it amazes me that these guys, and others, can play so well, compose so well, and sing so well, at a young age. not fair, nothing is. going to make a clock out of my strat.
@@TheHexeract While this may be true, the Beatles specifically learned most of their music on their own by learning chords and intensely listening to records. John and Paul would even blow off school together to write songs. Paul knew some piano from his father and was by far the better player but both him and John picked it up over the years after they met George Martin.
Piano John! I know you get this a lot, but I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to play Hey Bulldog now. It's been a long time that I've been wanting to learn it, and finally I've conqured it. All thanks to you! Your videos astound me with your talent...Truly amazing. Keep it up, man!
To continue from my last comment, I went straight to your tutorial because you have a lot of Beatles song tutorials. So along the way, my piano teacher had helped me out by learning your songs. Also she thinks of you as a piano genius since she's read your sheet music and watched your videos. I (probably my piano teacher also) just want to thank you for putting up the piano tutorials because I can play songs as good as you. I'm only a 15 year old high school freshman so I look like a show off.
Do you know you´re one of the best piano players of all time? I mean, playing piano is one thing, but making a tutorial so perfect, that´s just awesome. Thanx a lot again!
Hey John, what would you say is the easiest Beatles song to learn that you've done a tutorial of? 'Cause I need to learn a song for my music class and don't want to attempt anything too difficult. Suggestions would be appreciated Thanks :)
hello again! I did what you told me and I started playing oh darling but I realized it wasn't easy for me, and I began learning hey bulldog and it was super easy!! I'll keep practicing this song and then I'm going to learn oh darling. Thank you John! :)
@pianojohn113 I'm just wondering, is this an arrangement you made for yourself, or did you get the sheet music for this song from somewhere? I'm asking this because I can't find the sheet music online.
Hey John your videos are amazing! This song is one of my favorites on piano! Can I request you do some of the songs from the earlier albums, like "if I fell"? Cause I'm trying to learn it but there are no good tutorials for the full song up
You are by far the best teacher on RUclips, although I don't always care for the brief intros. Could you do an Oh Yoko! lesson? I'd really like to learn that song.
Thank you very much for everything!!!! And PLEASE make a tutorial learning how to play while my guitar gently weeps and the solo, it's my favorite song!
Hello John! I learned how to play hey jude and imagine, but i want to learn hey bulldog or oh darling! Which one do you recommend me? (i'm a begginer). PS: you are a great teacher!
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC TUTORIAL! thanks sooo much! :) Do you do requests?? Because from 5:49-6:09 when you do that little piano solo, i REALLY want to learn how to do that, and I can't really learn cause your going super fast lol, could u do a tutorial on JUST that piano part please? That would be amazing!
john thx for the video i've been waiting this for a couple of months and i've learned a lot of beatles' song thx to you :D keep doing this :D, I think the intro is alittle bit fast, but just my opinion :D, everything else is perfect! it's a complicte song to learn and to teach. So thank for your videos
Hey John been listening to the song Shes My Baby from wings at the speed of sound album. It would make a great tutorial i'm sure. Thanks for doing these, Cheers.
@pianojohn113 god bless u man thanks to you i'm learning the beatles's music very easily and its way too bloody fantastic : i can't believe it thank you for this
This sounds right and I will use it to learn. But I'm pretty sure the left hand isn't like the actual recording. I'm horrible with music terminology but the left hand should only play half as much as the right. (hit every other time) alternating from B to F sharp almost like a country bass line. Lennon is really pounding those bass notes in the recording and it's one of my favorite things about the song. But thanks alot this will help me learn!
I wish I could just get all these piano parts from sheet music-but they are never right. Next best thing are your very straightforward videos-thanks man.
I really enjoy watching your videos, and I'd love to play these Beatles songs, but it seems that I lack the ability to learn how to play a song without a piano sheet. Some day it'll be.
I just realized that it would be easier when you transition from that F# octave in the left hand on the A C# E A chord to the A E in the right hand and back again to just play the A C# E A chord with 4 fingers through the whole process. In this video John seems to say to play change from a F# octave in the right hand to a A E A chord in the left hand. It is much easier to just go from a F# octave in the left hand to a A E interval in the left hand and back to a F# octave in the left hand.
This tutorial helped me learn the song for my band, we're playing this song in front of a school, it will be a good time
Mason LeVasseur how’d it go
Billie Stefan I think good
Sharon Tzeng It has been a while but, I do believe it went well.
After 5 years, did it go well?
I hope it went well
Am i the only one triggered at how he rushes the intro?
no (this reply is from 11 months later)
@Student Eder Diaz I lowkey am tho
@@galaxyofreesesking2124idk, atleast he taught it well (3 years later)
Exactly
It’s really fast to learn if your advanced because he just goes over the core concepts of the song but the fun details he doesn’t really talk about

28 now eh?
you rock, love your style, fast, concise, essential, on the music. hate tutorials who just talk for 40 minutes to say "major 7" . thanks!
Lennon and McCartney really were phenomenal composers weren’t they
Always thought that was a Lennon song, but musically, it is so McCartney.
LatinoCracks
I like this song more than lady Madonna

Amazing you took the time to share all these videos for free. With the notes above too! Huge thank you . this would have taken me hours to figure out.
Great tutorial, I've watched several and most are missing a lot of parts, yours fills in the gaps, solid, thanks.

9 years later and still Epic.
Hooray! Been waiting for this one for a while.
thank you for the awesome tutorials! i wow my piano teacher every week by learning one of these songs! :)
love your videos. Any chance you could do a tutorial of The Beatles "Misery"
I love your turtorials, you're helping me a lot =)
Brilliant work and well explained like all of your tutorials
Can you tell me how to get the sheet music for your arrangement... would love to get it. Thanks.
Piano John to the rescue yet again.
Many thanks, John.
Around 3:45 when u play those chords wat notes do u play in between the two of them to make it sound different
Hey John your videos are amazing! This song is one of my favorites on piano!
Can I request you do some of the songs from the earlier albums, like "if I fell"? Cause I'm trying to learn it but there are no good tutorials for the full song up
such a killer lick
You are by far the best teacher on RUclips, although I don't always care for the brief intros. Could you do an Oh Yoko! lesson? I'd really like to learn that song.
Oh man, another song I'm gonna memorize tonight.
Do you have any suggestions for a beatle song for beginners. What would you say the easiest song of your tutorials are?
Thank you very much for everything!!!! And PLEASE make a tutorial learning how to play while my guitar gently weeps and the solo, it's my favorite song!

Would it be to much to ask if you could do 1985 by Paul McCartney?
Thanks for everything you've done for me
You're welcome, QWEN, glad the vids have been helpful to you. :-)
@@pianojohn113 seriously, you have positively changed my life so much and im sure many many others feel the same. honoured that you would reply to me
These are some awesome videos.
Nice job man! thank you for the amazing tutorial!!
Thank you! These videos are a great alternative when you can't find tabs.
cheers john guitar and bass guitar ready to go just need to had keyboards thanks again look forward to it.
do you have your own sheet music for this one or is this the same as the original.
Thank you!!! I love the new camera!
The beginning of the sheet is wrong. The right hand is an octave higher than it should be, right?
john thx for the video i've been waiting this for a couple of months and i've learned a lot of beatles' song thx to you :D keep doing this :D, I think the intro is alittle bit fast, but just my opinion :D, everything else is perfect! it's a complicte song to learn and to teach. So thank for your videos
Do you know tricky organ tunes such as "I'm Down" and "Only a Northern Song"?
Hey John been listening to the song Shes My Baby from wings at the speed of sound album. It would make a great tutorial i'm sure. Thanks for doing these, Cheers.
Sweet! I started working on this one yesterday.... Thanks...
Great overall, but in the verses, the left hand bounces the I an V with each chord.
If you hear the isolations, you can hear the 1,5,1,5 bounce.

VERY USEFUL INFO.. MY FRIEND.. I NEED IT FOR A GIG VERY SOON.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Hi man, very good this one! Thank you very much, it helped me a lot! Ceep on doing more!
Very glad you liked it, thanks!
I wish I could just get all these piano parts from sheet music-but they are never right. Next best thing are your very straightforward videos-thanks man.
It would be great if you make a detailed tutorial for the solo part only.
Maybe showing each hand individually.
Sheet music would help me TREMENDOUSLY. Would you consider transcribing some of your covers?
Another great video!
Could you do Jealous guy or Back in the USSR?
Congratulations from Brazil
thanks, man! It's really useful!
Thaks man, this song so much fun
Awesome! thanks!
I really enjoy watching your videos, and I'd love to play these Beatles songs, but it seems that I lack the ability to learn how to play a song without a piano sheet. Some day it'll be.
Hey John, I don't speak english, What does that (D) mean?
3:15
The note D.Note after middle C
Hey John, thanks for another good tutorial. Just a heads up, this one is in your Elton John playlist. :)
Oh great! Thank you so much for this one :D
@pianojohn113 could you make a tutorial om Money (thats What I want)? at least the intro??
This is different than the "Beatles Complete Scores". Why is that?
Keegan. MOV This isn't exact and that book is highly inaccurate.
Gracias, exelente, thanks you so much excellent
