Hi Mike! Thak you very much for this video. Your upload is perfect! Now i started to play piano after five years again. Thank you very much and thanx Lionel Richie! :D Miro
Absolutely superb! Excellent lesson, very much appreciated. Definitely looking forward to working through the part two. Many thanks for putting it out there for us all.
Thanks Mike. "Easy", one of my favourites. Just started playing piano 2 weeks ago. You make learning so easy. I've played guitar for decades & that has helped too. Your style of teaching is the best on the web, a lot to do with your personality, "easy", excuse the pun. Leo. Peterborough, ON.
Mike, your tutorials ROCK, but I missed the part where you explain what "cookie cutter down" means. I played guitar for 35 years but now this nasty little "affliction" called "essential tremors" has made it so that I can't hit the same string twice in a row. The keyboard is my only link to continue to enjoy playing music. Thanks to you I can play "Imagine". Easy is next in my repertoire. Thanks much Mike.
Hi Mike, I've discovered your stuff in Germany and I love it - I've fiddled around with piano self teach books and the likes, to not much avail - this is just what I had been looking for - thanks so much and greetings from Germany
Mike...fantastic videos, only picked up my neices keyboard for the first time 2 weeks ago...... thanks to you i can now play this and drops of jupiter (although quite badly) thanks for uploading. just wondering if u have any tutorials for a complete novice as i do still find these a tad difficult. appreciate any help you can give. michael
Hi Thanks for stopping by, yeah the chord name is above and the keys you depress are below, for example look at 1:06, see the Ab is the chord in blue and below are the individual notes. hope that helps, if not please let me know. cheers
Hi Mike I'm starting out on my journey to re learning to play te piano so needless to say i was excited to find your channel, I love the way you teach and break down each song you male learning easy, I have a request theres a song I would like to lew requestearn to play, The Song is called ( Come Sail Away By Styx ) So nu rush I knw your busy and you must get quite a few request
Hello, sir! This is the first of your videos I've watched, so I don't know if you've already covered this, but could you comment on the use of the pedal when play a song like this? I read something once about beginner piano players often being too heavy on the pedal. And that players like Elton John are very light with the pedal, holding down bass notes with his thumb instead to carry the sound of the chord all the way through the measure. Any suggestions for pedal use on a song like this?
