    I am a guitar and piano player. I have been following your guitar lessons for years did not know you taught piano. The best on-line piano lesson I have found. Great job and thank you Andy!!!

    • @codyduncan5107
      @codyduncan5107 3 года назад +2

      Om B you need to learn the flow of the song by listening to the song like the other guy said you can learn the transitions and how it should sound and find the tune

    I love this teaching style. Someone just gave me a vintage copy of the sheet music for Piano Man and I'm officially obsessed with learning to play it. This tutorial is helping so much.

    Let me know what you think of the style of this tutorial! DO you like the score on the screen? Any suggestions? Let me know what you'd like to see!

    • @LGMI9
      @LGMI9 5 лет назад +3

      Andy,I kind of get confuse when playing my piano ,I feel your class is for persons that already know how to play the piano.Please help me understand it more, thanks.

    • @jaredpalmer667
      @jaredpalmer667 5 лет назад +3

      Yea I like the score. As I can read music mainly in the treble clef but very very basic in the bass clef so this will help me personally alot!

    • @kirstenfrostholm8063
      @kirstenfrostholm8063 5 лет назад +8

      I think it is the best style I have seen in tutorials. You have the fingering, the piano mapped where you can see the sustain pedal (thank you for explaining that btw) and the cord as a note at the side of the screen, just perfect 👍

    • @pbarrene3359
      @pbarrene3359 5 лет назад +2

      It is a really good tutorial, but could you give us the score with the fingers? Thanks!!

  • @jojosaunier3603
    @jojosaunier3603 3 года назад +13

    I love the way you're more genuine and more like a teacher, who goes into depth how to play, and not only say the cords in an almost performing way, like many other channels with similar content. It makes me feel almost like your a live piano-teacher teaching me.
    Or maybe its just quarantine getting to me, and me missing my regular lessons. 😅

  • @jthickey1975
    @jthickey1975 3 года назад +14

    Really enjoyed learning different sections. As I listened to the song I feel it is easy to put them together like
    Intro - Verse - Interlude - Verse - verse(instrumental) - Verse - Bridge (da da da) - Chorus (same as verse) - interlude - verse - verse (this is a little richer) - Bridge - Verse - verse( instrumental) - verse - Bridge Instrumental - Verse - Verse(instrumental) - Verse - Verse (louder and richer) - Bridge - Chorus (same as verse) - Verse instrumental ..... fade out or could end in interlude
    One subtle thing in this Verse lesson is that the second time that you play it through it is different - you need to look carefully to spot that - so
    1st Time : C - C/B - Am - C/G - F - C/E - D7 and then G
    2nd Time : C - C/B - Am - C/G - G - G11 - C
    Similarly the Bridge is
    1st Time : Am - Am/G - D7/F# - F
    2nd Time : Am - Am/G - D7/F# - D7 - G - G/F
    Hope that helps someone who wanted to put it all together.
    Thank you @Andy Piano

    • @tunabledegree2866
      @tunabledegree2866 2 года назад

      1. What do you mean by verse instrumental and bridge instrumental?
      2. When you say to play verse does verse count as 2 times thru with the second time being the variation or just one time

      @iangonzalez6478 5 лет назад

      Andy Guitar well I like learning the melody by also just the chords, so I can sing along... I’d like to learn the essentials really, “let it be”, “hey Jude”, or some fun ones like “honey pie”, “Martha my dear”, “obla di obla da”, I’ve heard “imagine” is pretty easy, “the long and winding road”, and many others! You can pick which ones you enjoy playing and teaching! :) all the best Andy :)
