Now don’t get me wrong I love Elton. The intro on Bowie’s “Time” just blows me away! American pianist Michael Garson.
Great idea Michael!
Super lesson! The Bb in the key of C makes it really interesting. And thank you very much for explaining so clearly the "boxed-in chords"! Can't wait trying it out . 🙂 I discovered your videos only a few weeks ago and I enjoy them! Another positive aspect: you pronounce very clearly so that I can understand everything😀 Thank you very much from Germany!
Adam, thank you so much for your time and effort making these great videos. You really help me, as a self-learner a lot! I introduced your channel to my friends too.
Will you sometimes do live playing and teaching, so that we can have instant response and interaction?😄 Though we got different time zone between Hong Kong and UK . 😅
Thank you so much! So glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Watch this space…! 😉 Lots of exciting plans in the pipeline! 🚀
Adam, I have been watching your videos the whole day today and my jaw is still on the floor😮. Thanks a million times, you are a genius and true blessing to us aspirant piano players🙏🏼
Wow, thank you Ray! So glad you've been enjoying the videos!
Love your tutorials! Clear explanation! I am not too familiar with the chords and inversions. Watching you demonstrate at a slower speed help a lot! Thank you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🤩
Great intro, my personal favorite piano intro ever is Landed by Ben Folds.
Yes! Adam, please look at Ben's style
Great idea!
Great video, as always! I'd love to see you do a deeper dive on all those little things you did in the last section: Take it to the Next Level
🚀 👍
At 6:40 in the video, I *think* the piece you started playing (but couldn't remember ) might be Chopin's "Funeral March".
Ah! Sounds about right!! Thanks!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial on one of my favorite pop song ever!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for your patient to teach, I've learn a lot from you, and you inspire me not to give up on playing piano 🎹 Thank you Adam 💝
Thanks so much Sabrina! So glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Fantastic teaching you make it seem so achievable
Thank you!
Congrats Adam I can only see your channel going from strength to strength 😊 another great tutorial with great free pdf too , thank you so much for your generosity . Regards Patricia 👏👏😀
Thank you Patricia! So glad you’re finding the videos useful!
Thank you Adam for your videos. I've always loved Elton John so this video got me straight away. I discovered your channel while I was on holidays last week. I'm a late in life piano learner and would love to play like you - hopefully there's enough time left for me! 😂
Thanks so much Maria! Never too late to learn!!
So glad you’re enjoying the channel!
Beautifully explained. Thank you very much
This is really good Adam, thank you. I've enjoyed Elton for years and this video combined with the other videos about chords has been tremendously helpful.
Thanks so much Nick!!
More like this please. Excellent information!
Thanks!!
Wonderful. Thank you. Some Steely Dan please.
i like this channel alot adam you are so talented
You are really a great teacher....all your videos are awesome. Please keep posting more such videos.. thanks
Lots more coming! Thanks!
Great player & TEACHER!
Thanks Charles!!
EPIC song! 🤘🏼
Thank you Adam
Excellent tutorial and very clear and thorough. Thank you Adam.
You're very welcome!
Great!
around 6:45 you ask what that motif comes from - I would say: Chopin, 1st piano sonata 2nd movement, marcia funebre
Ah that’s it! Thanks!
Great lesson!
Hi very interesting ’ I hope another lesson on Elton John and Your Song ’ Thanks you very much 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks Viktor!
The best!
The Key The Secret
Thanks
Thanks!
Hi Adam Loved the lesson as I knew I would. Thank you for another excellent tutorial. The piece you were intimating at in 6.04 of the video is La March Funebre par Chopin Or opus 35 Funeral march in B flat and C minors respectively. Written by Chopin to show solidarity and support with his fellow Poles in their uprising against the Russians.
I am so excited about this channel and I have seen a lot but you really have something here. There is a sense of accessibility, clear explanation and a teaching style that is esoteric across all age and experience groups It's as though, you know exactly what I want to learn and haven't been able to due to lack of confidence to step outside of sheet music.
I am a fan and hope to be part of this growing community for many years. You mentioned social media platforms. Apologies but I only have you here on RUclips. Which others are you on? I presume you were referring to Community Groups on Facebook, X, Insta etc.
Congratulations on the 10,000 subscriber mark but know you've smashed that one out of the park already. Had a Merch idea for you also. Why don't you get Keys Coach T-Shirts etc, and have your catchphrase emblazoned across the keys! 'Do You See That?' Or 'I Like It!' I think they would sell lol! Already spread the word about your channel Adam and fellow piano amateurs will flock to it, I know.
Really am enjoying your content Adam. You're an excellent musician but even greater teacher. Thank you.
Ah thanks so much Scarlette! Great ideas!! 💡 We’re also on Instagram (@thekeyscoach) - that’s the main platform outside RUclips.
Thank you so much for all the support! 🙏
Great tuto !
It turns out I’ve been doing just about everything you mentioned organically, I just never knew how to verbalize what I was doing.
Yet another fab video Adam - Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Oh and by the way - that tune you could not remember Chopin Funeral March ! ruclips.net/video/kyFyAqLtHq8/видео.htmlsi=jVcBnPOdhKerXqtM
Ah yes of course - many thanks!
I like this lesson so much! And throughout your lessons, the use of different keys is so useful to get to practice new sounds. Unfortunately, dew to an accident, I can't stretch my right hand pinky to reach an octave ( such as happens in this lesson ) so I don't know if I'll be able to get that sound when playing the block chords of progression... Is there any way in which this lesson can be adapted so I may play it? Thanks a lot and expecting your next video lesson 😊
Hi Adriana - so glad you're enjoying the channel! I guess you could just play single notes, low down - that would also work well!
Amazing tutorials! Thank you very much!
Thanks!
E. John! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥💛🧡💚💙💜
the song you came up with reminds me of Dragon - Are you old anough.
Like it a lot ! Thanks! Also liked whatyou did as your improvisation at the end. Could you make a video to that part too? Its amazing. Would like to learn chords playing like that!
Great idea!! Glad you found the video useful!
New sub here. Youve made me want to get back to my keyboard. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@thekeyscoach I played for a few hours yesterday. It's almost like riding a bike. Had a blast! Thanks again!
🚀 🙌
Wonderful lesson !! Maybe, you could do a lesson on voice leading!!thanks
Great idea Leslie! Thanks!
Danke!
Thanks so much Thorsten!! 🤩
@@thekeyscoach the “boxing” was just an eye opener, I have to thank YOU, greetings from Germany
👍
Very interesting, thanks. Can you do some blues piano lessons
Can you teach me how to play we all fall in love sometimes
Love this song. But it's very difficult to follow your fingers when the orange keys stay solid🤷
I noticed that.
Will look into this - thanks!
FY: It is easier on my 27-inch desktop. But I have a small laptop by my piano and it's rather difficult to follow your finger movement while the keys stay solid orange. Thanks for looking into this. Would be very helpful. ❤
It’s the sustain pedal.
Still looking into this - hoping to change this in the upcoming vids!
Thsts the funeral march thene by Chopin that you played. Haha
🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉
Very Nice and Thank You!
Question. Is it just my internet speed connection, or is the Super Impose showing above the keys slow? When you play G, it's still on the C chord. Also unable to even see the Arpeggios.
Ah interesting - will check this out!
Greetings Sir ..
Tutorial is on Point 🎯

Thanks!!
@@thekeyscoach I'm gonna become a good keyboard player yet😂😂😂😂 I have an uncle whom played with all the greats🎹 Kim Waters, Ray Parker Jr., Otis Williams, and so many more I can't name them all👍❤️
Hey. I play keys We should connect
Hey Kim! Would love to! Huge fan of Elton’s live shows. Hope you enjoyed the video! I have a podcast (The Keys Coach Podcast) - would love to have you on!
But it's obvious you are trying to copy Elton John. Yes, you changed the chord progression, but having a Bb chord follow a G chord in the key of C is also the kind of thing that Elton John does.
Wasn't that the whole point?
Yeah hater
I think it was quite clear he was saying that this is in the style of Elton John ... He was demonstrating what EJ does.
@@nickmorley1159 Yes of course. That is a good way to practice the technique but if he were to for example record and publish the song it would be a ripoff of Elton John.
I really didn't get the impression it was anything other than showing people about his style
So much techniques to learn but a lot has been already shared in this video alone. Do check out the other videos and put all the techniques together. Let’s give back by liking, subscribing and promoting this channel to our relatives and friends who are also into music.
Thanks Miguel!
Thanks
Thanks Cherryl!
