I clicked on here because of the RUclips algorithm and I’m glad I did. I love this song and your lesson is really good. You just don’t teach us how to play it, but you give us a good understanding of the layout of the chords. Thank you
Welcome to our channel - we've got tons of material like this! Enjoy and lovely to meet you.
Thank you so much for emphasizing the importance of the chords instead of playing the melody. I am finding it to be so much more fulfilling and satisfying to play the chords.
Bravo on this instructive video! Love your warm and melodic singing.
Many thanks
Timeless song and a great breakdown. Thanks Tom.
Love, love this lesson. I just spent 2 hours at the piano, watching and rewatching until I got this under my hands! So much for getting anything else done 😅😅😅! Greetings, with much gratitude from Canada!!
Well done! Bravo.
Very enjoyable lesson. Clear and logical,thanks Tom.
Brilliant lesson. I wish I could attend your school. I think I would have been an incredible piano player, but life took me in other directions.
Thank you for helping me find some of it again. 😊
It's never too late - we have many students later on in life - still improving, still moving forward. It's all in our mind - www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
Well, this is the best possible outcome of when the RUclips algorithm suddenly works perfectly without demand!
Wouldn’t I love this song since 50 odd years and wouldn’t I be drawn to music and playing instruments (though probably being one of the lousiest wannabe musicians), I most definitely wouldn’t have cared to watch and listen to this video!
It’s made stunningly perfect and the presenter has such great narrative abilities, that even someone like me is able to take away some advantages!
Subscribed instantly 😘!
Chapeau!
Very well done, thank you 🤗🥰😘!
I can't decide if it was you or me who enjoyed this more! ❤
Haha : Touché
Your lessons are so inspirational. And you are teaching us piano theory or maybe I should say understanding how to make things sound good. Whatever it is, it’s so good.
Masterfully done. I found myself just listening to you play.
Thanks to you Tom, I have managed to get to grips with most chords and this one definitely helps me along the way. I also love Elton John's music, so spot on for me.
Can't beat Elton John for great songs at the piano.
Thank you Tom, that was SO inspirational!
My pleasure!
Thank you very much for your education, Tom! I just want to say that you have a great style of teaching, it’s very clear, and speaking of clear, your room is a fantastic sounding room. If that’s a natural reverb from your room, it is exceptional. And the piano sounds fantastic.
You're very welcome!
Just recently found your channel and I'm liking your content; and this tutorial on this classic is fab. Its given me a better understanding of what is played etc. Would love to see you to do a similar tutorial for ABBAs Dancing Queen🙂
Very good.
Light, but involving and illuminating at the same time 👍
Another great tutorial, Tom. Thanks.
Great job! In my opinion, this is how music lessons should be structured: There is always more than one solution to playing a piece. Best regards Eddie
Yes. That's so true. One song has many ways. Best wishes.
Thank you, Tom! I haven't watched all of your videos yet, but from what I've learned from you so far, I find you to be an absolute treasure and among those in the top tier of instructors/performers for piano pop music with vocals. I'm always inspired by your example to become a better player and performer. I've been playing this song the same way for 2 years, but now I can see how to break loose and experiment with different inversions and juice it up with those added 2nd notes.
I am an adult learner . One of my most favourite songs on piano. Your way of teaching is perfect. I am stuck in my ways trying to teach myself. I may be a long time . Your help is very much appreciated. If only u were in the south of england
great channel!
This just made my day !! So beautiful and I've been wanting to learn how to play this. Thank you Tom ! :-)
It's a pleasure. Happy New Year 😀
Super fantastic Tom. The chords alone with the groove stand on their own. And thanks for finally demystifying those embellishments that give the chords an even richer character.
Fabulous lunch break thanks to you, Tom! 😃👏🏻😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A piano lunch break. Sounds great!
wow, I just discovered this channel, you are great, I love your tips, so clear simple and professional at the same time. thanks
Great analysis of a great composition, in fact, I play it on piano, and sing it.
You are a great teacher. Coming from classical piano I struggle a bit with the way chords are notated but doesn’t matter. One point that could be interesting is to show the harmony structure . But most probably not that important if one intends to just play. Once again, thank you.
Great lesson! Thanks!
Thank you for this, just what I needed, really valuable!
I've been playing for many years, I agree that Eb is a nice key on the piano. As you say, don't be afraid of 3 flats. I learned "Mr Blue sky" on piano in Eb and "Pure Imagination" from Wily Wonka" as well as a few others tunes too. The blues scale related to Cm works well too and as you say fits the fingers very well.
10:11 can a beginner learn chords and play like this. Did learn to read simple sheet music many years ago and haven't played since, but bought a yamaha digital piano to try again to learn. Love what you did on this video. Better than playing melody in right hand.
This video was awesome and I thank you for it!
Aced it again Tom.🙏🥰🎶🎶
Ace lesson thank you muchly . Practise practise 😊
Thank you so much😅. Great song ,great tutorial.
Fantastic lesson!!!❤
But I wish you would have slowed down a bit on the right hand arpeggios.
Will keep that in mind for next one. I think YT has a slow down feature that you could also use ?
Very nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Pleasure!
Thanks..well done.
Thank you for also singing.
Thankyou: I was nervous about that bit !!
Loved this lesson, but it is very similar to the video you released a while back with 3 Elton John songs. In that one, you gave the Cm chord progression ending with Cm/Ab. In this current video, the last chord is Abmaj7. Both sound okay, which one would you say is preferable? I got used to playing the Cm/Ab, but I love your use of both shapes at the 11:16 mark where you hit the Cm/Ab for the pause and then switch to the Abmaj7. Really a beautiful lesson on a beautiful song.
Egg Cell Ent thanks for posting.
Great Video 🎶👍
You are inspiring ❤❤ A great teacher
Thanks!
Thankyou very much appreciated. Reach out to me at tom@contemporaryschoolofpiano.com, we have a little treat to say thank you for your support.
Superbe pédagogie merci à vous
Brilliant...
What a great tutorial. Thanks Tom. I really want to take THE COMPLETE MUSICIAN: Piano Essentials course. The currency exchange rate (U.S. Dollar) is killing me at the moment. Maybe some day.
There are a few options you might want to explore, send me an email at tom@contemporaryschoolofpiano.com what country are you based in?
Coming from a classical music background and trying my hand at pop and it seems like voicing is something I didn’t notice as much like with your example of squeezing the suspended second to the third. Voicing is huge.
I think Tori Amos does that a lot?
Chords are the keys To song writing on all instruments
🙏🙏🙏
5:37 groove
Amazing
Many thanks
Спасибо большое. Наконец-то я нашел то, что искал. Простите, что на русском пишу. Видео очень крутое!
Спасибо большое, рад, что вы нашли это видео полезным. Замечательно иметь возможность общаться с друзьями по всему миру через музыку
You make it look too easy!
Please teach it right , its always (A#/D) , an inversión on the end of every verse , and in the Bridge when you play Abmaj7 it is a Ab11+13 ,man
Actually, Elton John uses different inversions every time he plays the song. This tends to be the way popular music operates.
It's about playing the chords - and knowing what inversions and suspensions you have available to you. Quick clarification the song is in the key of Eb major, so there are no A# it's, Bb/D. As for the pause in the bridge, he often clusters up the notes from an Ab lydian mode, but I don't think there is really much use analysing it as if it were jazz. I've heard Elton play Ab6, Abmaj7, Abmaj9, Bb9/Ab in this same part over numerous live recordings. For most part, Elton uses triads and limits most of his dissonance to suspended 2nd and 4ths and occasional 7ths and 9ths. This is what characterises his harmonic style.
