    Once again, kudos to Pierre for this exact, note for note transcription of what I hear when I listen to this classic canonical love song. I have seen so many attempts by other pianists on YT, but THIS is the one and ONLY I save in my piano playlist. 👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Thanks so much for this, Pierre. Enjoying your tutorials very much. In the verse (block chords) D - Bm6 - Gmaj7 - do you play a D to D7 next? when in the stave above you've shown Bm7 to D7.

    • @pierrejpiscitelli
      @pierrejpiscitelli  2 месяца назад

      Either would be fine because Bm7 is just D with a B in the root! Bm7 and D share D, F# and A.

      @@pierrejpiscitelli Thanks for the reply, Pierre. Great explanation - I understand now and it's sounding great. It's a real pleasure to watch and learn from your videos. Another two songs I've been trying to learn for ages are Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Chris Martin/Coldplay), and Don't Go To Strangers (Paul Weller and Amy Winehouse). Just block chords would be fine. I know there's so many versions of these songs but I particularly love these. Cheers! And thanks again!

    Which Rhodes sound are you using for your keyboard? Sounds a little different than the real deal at the beginning. The OG always sounds good!

    • @pierrejpiscitelli
      @pierrejpiscitelli  5 месяцев назад +1

      It's my favorite plugin-- "The Famous E Electric Piano" They sampled the Rhodes Mk I used on all of the great sessions in LA during the 70's. Something special about that particular instrument! I love my Mark I, but I think what you are hearing is lack of a preamp, bass boost all the way up, and just tons of imperfections due to unregulated action, bad tines, bad dampers etc. That's how you can REALLY tell it's a real Rhodes 🤣
