Thelincolnexpress 1865 It’s just another way of playing the harmonies. He’s merely taking the third of each chord and playing it an octave higher. The chord can be rolled to avoid having to spread the hand.
I find it quite easy and natural to do, and I wasn't taught it. I just think using bass lines and octaves only is missing something. The way I play isn't really something I've thought a lot about, but based on the comments on here, I know it's not normal. If my technique helps others, i'd be happy with that.
I think I listed to this masterpiece over thousands of times and still with every single time I feel how everything inside is going in rhythm with this song❤
This made me cry, miss you George Michael. Not a day i don't think about you or listen to Careless Whisper. Lord, please send him back to us. Thank you Neil Archer, you made this sound magical.
Spent this morning hearing so many covers , tutorials of this song but none of them except Maucoli's comes any close to this one. Yours has so much feelings. Really thankful that that you showed the keys.
I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes Calls to mind the silver screen And all its sad good-byes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Never without your love Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who’s gonna dance with me Please stay And I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong That you had to leave me alone
I think this song has been become a caricature of itself over the years but this video really made me appreciate how great of a composition this song is. George Michael was an amazing writer.
I'm sitting here singing along and tearing up at the same time. What that man and his musical gift did for us during the 80s is beyond words! Gone too soon... He left behind such amazing memories.
Bro- sick job. Don’t know why this song has been stuck in my head for awhile now. I need to play it on piano and get it out of my system I guess. Lord Vader is pleased. Subscribed, sir.
There's life into your playing! Piano is harder to play than organ but you put so much life into your piano playing. Love it my friend, you're such a great pianist! 👏👏👏😊🌹🌻🎹🇵🇭
I perform this piece alot myself on piano. It really a simple chord progression but I like the way this pianist emphasizes melody. I'm usually singing the melody so I improvise in between vocal lines.
For me it is impossible not to give you a like, I feel the piano so deep inside of me. Sadly I can never play the piano, but hearing you play, my soul rises and I feel for a few seconds that I can reach paradise. Thank you for these moments of pleasure.
Can’t believe it’s been almost 3 years since George passed away what amazing tribute to him thankyou for doing this. Beautiful played please may you do one of last Christmas soon, thankyou 👍🏻
This version felt like as if he was singing it. Literally every tune covered by you could make me relate to the subsequent lyrics. Great Job Man! Keep it up. 🙏
It hurt the core of my heart, and the playing revealed the hidden sadness... There is an angel who entered your body and shared the feeling with you... You are better than playing it... not in technique, but in feeling.
Amazing George #Respect George Michael Always be my favorite no.1 singer songwriter I only listen his songs all the day everyday even have 30 of his hits
Rarely comment on anything and I’m usually plagued with that horrific “I’m also a pianist so my arrogance overrides my want to compliment” But this is just bloody brilliant. Gorgeous tones, masterful dynamics and a lovely rhythmic elegance in its simplicity. That was a joy to listen to and I shall be taking notes!
Congratulations!. You are great pianist with a gifted ear!It is the best instrumental cover( Piano) I have ever listened from George Michael's Careless whisper!
When piano god when will i be able to play something like this !!!!!!😭 someday 🙂 This is so soothing to the ears. I just cannot imagine what will happen when you play it infront of a crowd but i know one thing it’ll be spectacular ❤️❤️ great piano skills btw
Neil archer your are gifted what a beautiful piece your are performing. the late George Michael would have being so proud of you the way your mastered his classic to perfection. your the last word.
I love the piano and think it's the most beautiful musical instrument and contemplating buying one and learning . This was so enjoyable and relaxing to watch 😊
They’re 10th’s. If you don’t have the span, roll the chord instead. It stops that muddy sound when you replace the 3rd with a 10th. It’s the same note, just an octave higher. By the way, I have no clue how I ever started playing that way.
I use various piano VST's with my digital piano as i have no room for an upright and def not for a grand, but wow this just illustrates that NOTHING compares to an acoustic grand. Just when i start to think i like my piano sound , i hear this. This Yamaha sounds just fantastic and even more so with a very capable pianist that puts emotion into the keys. Bravo to a very musical rendition of this song
you are not a piano player, you are a true artist
Means a lot. Thank you so much!
F'in facts
Nguyen Lam pianist chứ ko phải piano player nha bạn.
Nguyen Lam
True artist is better than a pianist because they can play any song by hearing while most pianist cannot!
Amen!
On a saxophone it sounds all hip and hoppity, on the piano it sounds nostalgic and melancholy.
Beautiful
Look up Kent’s Guitar 🎸 version. m.ruclips.net/video/6Ovj_XK6yqc/видео.html
hi gays, have someone the sheet from this song ???? please you can send me
sorry my inglish, i am italian , please send to robrighettialfa@yahoo.de
@@rintialfa Guys* lol. Check the description of the video.
🤣 "hip and hoppity" cracked me up
That left hand range though... I'm jealous
Jethro Combate Yeah,, he stretches his octaves pretty well doesnt he?
He stretches his octaves, is that something that is uncommon with pianist? I believe you're discussing between his thumb and his index?
can eveyone do that?

I miss George Michael :( this cover is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!
Thank you!
You can still listen George Michael! :)
This song is timeless. It never dies.
Most piano players play with no expression, but you play so well with your dynamics and expression.
Thank you so much
It's the best song ever.
I think I listed to this masterpiece over thousands of times and still with every single time I feel how everything inside is going in rhythm with this song❤
This made me cry, miss you George Michael. Not a day i don't think about you or listen to Careless Whisper. Lord, please send him back to us. Thank you Neil Archer, you made this sound magical.
Thank you! He was amazing.
A masterclass in dynamics sir.
Thank you so much!
Agreed :D but the excessive use of sustain pedal ruins it a bit in my opinion, almost sounds as if it's played in a church ;P
@@SuperMegaPirate I think it gives an ethereal effect

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the comments.
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
Dude thaaaank youuuuuuu
Can’t be a coincidence that I discovered this on the day of George’s passing. Reduced to tears. Thank you so much for sharing.
Crying 😭 amazing how instruments are so powerful
Thank you!
Best version I've ever seen
Thank you. 👍👌
You can hear that bright Yamaha from a mile away
I think this song has been become a caricature of itself over the years but this video really made me appreciate how great of a composition this song is. George Michael was an amazing writer.
Amazing writer, amazing performer. Wish he was still with us.
I listen 3 times a day. Morning-noon-evening. It feels like medicine... 😇
Wonderful! Love it.
So glad I came across your channel. Such beautiful and emotive piano tones.
Thank you. Lovely to have you here.
subtly smooth.....butter soft.....melodically rythmic.......yes..........
Thank you so much ❤️
todays kids could learn from this performance....the dynamics were absolutely superb!!!!!!! a beautiful haunting vibe
Thank you for staying beautifully true to how George sang it. Every note played smoothly and perfectly.
Thank you so much.
It us like your piano actually sings it!
I'm sitting here singing along and tearing up at the same time. What that man and his musical gift did for us during the 80s is beyond words! Gone too soon... He left behind such amazing memories.
He was a sweetheart and had a wonderful voice, as a hetro chap I can only begin to imagine what he did for gay people. Spread the love mate!
That piano sounds so nice! Like taking a warm bath
Imagine what it would have been like sitting in the room.
Where is George Michael? 😭🤭👍
He is singing from behind the piano, I can hear some whispers.
Love it. Thank you!
Still missing George...only he can sing this from the heart sincerely...
بعشق هالموسيقى لآنها علمتني طربق الحب
Careless whispers
In a better world... No pain, no tears...
This guy deserves a medal 💚
Thank you.
Bro- sick job. Don’t know why this song has been stuck in my head for awhile now. I need to play it on piano and get it out of my system I guess. Lord Vader is pleased. Subscribed, sir.
Dare I say it is the sweetest piano intepretation of "Careless whispers". So fluid. So much feeling. I can feel your guts... Thanks.
Thank you so much!
There's life into your playing! Piano is harder to play than organ but you put so much life into your piano playing. Love it my friend, you're such a great pianist! 👏👏👏😊🌹🌻🎹🇵🇭
I’m so glad you enjoy my playing!

Best piano cover i had ever seen. Plus very unusuale pop ton of this yamaha piano makes it more great!
Wow, thanks!

Wonderful comment. I played it as if I were accompanying him. What a thrill that would have been. Thank you so much.
