John my man I'm thankful for this vid. My dad wanted me to learn it because he was telling me that my grandma and grandpa used to dance to this song alot, and I could hear the sadness in his voice as he told me, and I made him a promise I would learn it.
I'll be watching this video as my tutorial from now until I learn the song. Thanks again man, you're helping me greatly.
all i can say is THANK YOU. i have loved this song for years. i can play it but there was always something missing. but couldn't figure it out. but thanks to you i found it and been trying it on my keyboard as i have watched this over and over and now i have it down. again thank you every much
I only bought keyboard because I wanted to learn this beautiful tune, and now I'm hooked. Great video, thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Glad I woke up this morning and saw your video. I know the keyboard but seeing them is a plus. Great teacher you go at the right speed and right repetitions. Videos are a great gift. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much!

Just saw this video! It’s the best one I’ve seen! I’m 82 years old and been playing piano by ear since I was 7 years old! Always eager to learn new techniques! I will be subscribing to your page! Keep up sharing your tips on how to play this beautiful music!
Wow, thank you! Glad you found the video. No quicker way to play any song - check out the website - I'm sure that I have some other songs up that you'd like to play :) Letter Notes are totally free - let me know if there is a song that you need :) God Bless ...
My favorite music. This tutorial is most helpful.
This guy is the best teacher. I can't even really play and I have made so much progress in 2 days. Much easier than trying to read the notes. I never would have gotten the style.
Great to hear! I don't think there is any faster way to learn to play:). Keep it up :)
How can it be the best when he is not playing it correctly? He is wrong on his right hand.
Oh my, I just discovered your piano instructions! I am so thrilled. I love country piano. Please do more of Floyd Cramer's renditions of songs, such as Faded Love, Have I Told you Lately that I love You? etc. And do you do any of Pig Robbins style? Or how about Del Wood or Moon Mullican? My mother could play a mean Honky Tonk piano, and she showed me a little. But she has sinced passed away, and as I get older I am getting back into the piano. I love country and Honky Tonk. Also, Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. Your style of teaching is so much easier to understand and learn from.

So so explanatory. Thank you.
That lighted keyboard is very helpful for seeing the keys which are depressed.
That's why I use the lighted keys for videos:). Sometimes the fingers still get in the way :/
my wire is 112 years old i have 5 hammers falling short and she aint been tuned since 1/4/58 ,,, but in 3 weeks shes getting new wire, new felt, new hammers and what ever else she needs to be like new ,,,costing more than she's worth bit I don't care ...I haven't played in 24 years but you will be my refresher course ,,,, playing this again in a true relic upright will be worth it
Loved the lesson, thanks so much.
Very wonderful, thank's!
You're welcome. Glad you found the tutorial - the cover may help you also :)
Thank you very much. Love it
I'm glad you like it. ... Let me know if there's another song you need :)
Why I picked this piece to learn. That flip note scattered throughout is tough
Great lesson ! John
Thanks !
JOHN SHIRLEY FROM GA WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE YOU YOU MAKE LOOK SO EASY
Good lesson
thank you
Love this one John, one for later, this one will streach my playing skills, as you say one at a time, keep the good work up. Thank you.
Sounds good :) This one isn't easy, but on the fun meter, it's "Lots'a Fun" :) Helps to take it slowly & work hands separately first. Enough repetition that once you get a section - you got it. Plus it likes to go slow & easy :))
John Nelson
This is what i like about your tutorials you can start with easy and work your way up at your own pace and you have music to suite every one.
I like the fact you have done a cover for this one it makes learning easier
Yeah, I'm gonna try to do more covers:) I think they help, differently than the teaching tutorials, but gives a sense of continuity and flow. Thnx, again :)
@@LetterNotePlayer can u do some gospel?
Hi John I have a question about your sheets that you use. I am a little confused by the use of arrows. Can you explain this, so far I assume maybe not correctly that an up or down arrow means above or below the proceeding letter note! I look forward to your reply thank you
Can you do boom clap tutorial from the fault in our stars
Hi John great video. I am new to piano and want to learn early Rock n Roll, 1950s Rockabilly. Can you recommend any online courses or books?
Working w you
Terrific ! We could do with lots more such as this. Good man, keep it coming, and thanks a ton !
Will do :)
He is not playing it correctly? He is wrong on his right hand.
I'm unfamiliar with changing letters in each cord u are playing. It's confusing. When u give and hit the key, but change it on the real keys. Could you just give the Exact letters to what cord u are playing. It would help us older folks a lot and not confusing. I'm sure it easy for you because u. Are an expert. Me a Dummy just fresh only playing 4 months . I really love your instructions . Thanks a million Ken Duff in VA I'm 80 yrs old Viet veterans. Father of 9 grown kids in VA 22405
Hi Ken, this song has a lot of quick notes 🎶 that move into the main note. Don't mean to confuse. If you access the letter notes and take it slowly I think you'll get it: www.letternoteplayer.com/last-date---floyd-cramer---oldie---letternotes.php Congratulations 🎉👏 8 decades & 9 children ... Lots of memories :)
Just looked at the weather in Stafford County ... Pretty cold tonight :) right there by the Potomac. Stay warm :) Let me know if there's a song you need :)
@@LetterNotePlayer Ok My request for a Song to fit this season is (. (BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE)

I always appreciate people taking the time to teach others and create videos like this. However, this is not played correctly. Some parts are correct, but that right hand isn't right. That is not how Floyd Cramer plays his "slip note" style.
I think it's different because of copyright stuff. If they play it exactly, then fees and the lawyers froth and drool to shake people down for money. This is for sure worth it to me to learn.
That’s not how copyright works. You can’t get just get a copyright strike because you played a tune of a song with the exact instrument it used.
What he is showing around 2:00 is not the way Floyd Cramer played it.
You are so correct.
i am 76 and i try and i try and i try, but two step forvard and one step bag
Just watched my cover video - looks like I skipped a couple of lines from the letter notes when I edited it. czcams.com/video/g-05o1L1E6E/video.html Take it in sections - work the RH until it is working pretty well, then the LH. Then put them together slowly. You may want to start with those low 10ths ... LH: deFEDC - RH: fgAGFE -
This is a challenging song. Two other things will help; the RH has to jump back and forth between octaves - master that and it will come together. Also the melody has the little note--crushes (i.e. C fgA ...) once you get those little crushes to work it'll come together. One final ite is the LH has to move into the octave below C after the G A B C pick up ... then it goes back down into the lower octave after that. You can use my cover video to play each hand separately along with video while using the Letter Notes (just know that I skipped a couple of lines while editing that video - just noticed that yesterday).
