You're playing the 4th chord wrong. Flatten that E. It's Cm, not Am / Cmaj. It's the same as the first two lines of the verse, which you have notated with Cm. The left hand is G G C C (with the Cm), G E A D Sorry, but it hurts my ears. lol
You’re right. The second half of the intro has the A minor. The 4th chord in the intro should be a C minor. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve pinned your comment so it will show up at the top of the comments and also made a note in the video description. I appreciate you speaking up. Thanks again!
I work in a nursing home that has a really nice piano and I've been playing for the old folks and they love it, and had one request this song. You literally helped make alot of people Happy by teaching this song! Thank You
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Ishaan Skyler i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
As a raw beginner that still struggles to identify the basic note locations, I found this tutorial to be very will done and easily understood. With help like this the only obstacle in the way now is practice, practice, practice. You have a new fan in me - you are a natural teacher.
Wow! What a wonderful encouragement! Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful to you. I wish you all the best as you learn to play the piano. Thank you for watching and God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your time with us lesser mortals .l have Parkinson disease and love to play , I like your laid back style it relaxes me so thanks again
Man this is marvellous! I've never played piano at all, ever, in my life , but getting a midi keyboard to accompany an acoustic guitar version I'm doing of this song. Wish me luck, Im gonna try this as the first thing ever on piano haha Subbed!
That’s awesome! Congratulations and the best of luck! I hope the song turns out amazing! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the sub and the comment. God bless!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the channel. My goal is to create simple, easy to attain ways to play your favorite song and sing along. Please let me know if you have any songs you’d like me to add. Thanks!
not a great video... AN INCREDIBLE video. Learned it in less than 30 minutes, you are an amazing teacher and the visuals helped immensely, thank you so much!
Wow! Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. And learning it in 30 minutes is amazing! Great job! When I read the first few words of your comment I braced myself thinking, “oh no, here it comes...” then was happily surprised to hear that you found it helpful! Thanks for your encouragement. God bless!
Been playing guitar for quite a while, but I just picked up a keyboard and decided to learn this as my first song on it. I’m not familiar enough with chord voicing on the piano yet to just look at the chords and make it sound correct (at least without quite a bit of trial and error), so this video was a great jumping off point. Thanks for the video man!
Glad you enjoyed it! All the best as you begin learning piano. I don’t doubt that knowing piano will also help you with guitar. Have fun learning! Thanks for watching and God bless!
Very cool man... My next song for the bucket list. Shame on these publishers for ruining the educational process. I'm a guitar teacher and it's ridiculous how these corporate bullies treat us. If anything it's promoting the artist. Rick Beato has some rants about Glenn Fry and how they persued his channel over the same bs. Great tute. Thanks!
Yes, it definitely interferes with the educational process. I agree that it is promoting the artist. For now it’s just something we have to live with, I guess. Thanks for checking out the video. Glad you liked it!
Love the pace at which you broke down each section of this song. Allowed me to take each piece one at a time & repeat until I got it down before moving on to next section - without getting discouraged. Well done!!
I can't thank you enough. This is one of the best songs of my generation from one of the best groups and I've tried to hack it out myself for a L O N G time....need I say....unsuccessfully. Your voicings are simple enough to master and interesting enough to build on with a little experience. Thanks to Don F for noticing the tiny mistake...which, incidentally, I had automatically corrected as it didn't sound quite right...and kudos to you for putting it in the notes and acknowledging his observation. It takes a musician to do that, not just a piano player. Looking forward to more 70-80 hits and have subscribed to your channel. We all teach and we all learn. Cheers my friend from Canada North where the snow is disappearing....gradually!!!
Wow, thank you, Wayne. I love your comment for so many reasons. Thank you for your kind words. They are very encouraging. I’m so glad the video was helpful for you. And thank you for the subscription. I will do my best to continue to add the classics. Please let me know if there are any videos you’d like to see me post. Thanks again and God bless you!
You make it very simple . A guitar player I figured the album out when it came out except this song lol . Heard yesterday and decided to learn it on the piano
Thank you so much this is the best way for someone to learn. This is the first song I learned from chords. So cool it really helps to write it down and make it into sections.
Wow! Thank you so much Sire' for teaching me this song. Really enjoyed your lesson and the way you left it open to improvise on it as well. Love from Delhi, India \m/
thx for this tutorial...I always wanted to play the piano ..now I;m in my mid fifties..and learning this song, its not goin as fast as when I was younger, my brain is processing in a slower pace, but knowing this song 40 years, or something like that, at least the melody is in my ear since then. The way you set this up , in parts makin me able to repeat it, while still staying in the song, is great. Also some chord changes are crucial for the song...thx for that!!
Thank you so much, Phil Sarkol! I love hearing your story. Thank you for sharing it. And I’m so glad you found the video helpful. May you find much enjoyment in playing and singing this song. God bless!
Thank you, Aaron. This video was easy enough for me to play. Now my hubby (guitar) and I have another duet to sing at home. Any chance you might want to take on Gregg Allman’s Stormy Monday? But only if you sing along. 😉
Hello again! I wanted to let you know I made a video for Stormy Monday and it goes live tomorrow. My singing is terrible but I gave it a shot! Hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you very much! What a great tutorial your versions add a nice alternative to the original chords.plus the learning experience that will take other songs to the next level.for someone like me with no musical education,you made it easy to learn. Thanks again
Hello! Thank you so much for the comment, question, and subscription! The chords come from Ultimate Guitar. Here is a link to the chart: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/eagles/desperado-chords-1044392 I will also put it in the description. You can print it up from their site. I hope this helps.

Glad you have been blessed with such a good ear! My strengths are elsewhere. If it weren’t for grace, we would be without hope. Because of grace, I can live with my mistakes. Peace.
ROTFL on your copyright notice. Sorry that happened, and love your resposne. I'm guessing Don Henley would be OK with your teaching and singing, and the suits are kinda legally obligated to blow up anything that gets in their neighborhood. Cogs on a wheel of the Big Machine. Thanks for taking the time. Guitar player, but this one seems better to learn and play on piano.
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate your support! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and good for your for venturing into piano to learn this song. That’s great! Thanks for watching and God bless!
Thank you! I must have missed that part. I appreciate you pointing it out and hopefully it doesn’t throw people off too much. Unfortunately CZcams doesn’t allow you to make corrections or upload new versions of videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I love how these tutorials break down a song to the chords. It makes me feel like I'm figuring it out partly myself too, unlike synthesis and stuff.

@@pianobyaaron well good job man this song is definitely gonna be fun for singing to my friends once I get them to agree to drunk karaoke
Even without the sound this video is by far explained straight and to the point and easy to follow
Thanks for the tute on this song. Enjoyed learning it.

thank you

New to the piano and found this excellent tutorial which you have articulated really well. Is there a chord sheet ?
Hello! Thank you so much for the comment, question, and subscription! The chords come from Ultimate Guitar. Here is a link to the chart: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/eagles/desperado-chords-1044392
I will also put it in the description. You can print it up from their site. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Would I get more clicks if my video was streamlined or more if it was tricky and needed to be watched more or maybe I suck at piano
Literally only knew hot cross buns before this video, goals ig
Ha! Good for you! Keep it up!
Thanks for making this easy to learn! Do you have a chord chart posted somewhere of this version?
So glad it was helpful to you. The chord chart used in the video is from the website Ultimate Guitar. Here is the link:

The second part with the C chord, I think you go from an e note to an e flat note the second time through that chord.
Thank you! That was intentional. In this song the C chord changes from a C Major chord to a C minor. It has a pretty cool sound actually!
@@pianobyaaron I wasn't trying to be a know it all. Thank you for the video, it helped me to learn the song.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
In het intro pakt ie een cm en geen cmaj!
You are right! Thank you for pointing that out!
How could you possibly miss the Cm in the intro?!? Had to move on, dude. I play this really well by ear, you don't.
Glad you have been blessed with such a good ear! My strengths are elsewhere. If it weren’t for grace, we would be without hope. Because of grace, I can live with my mistakes. Peace.
I gotta say I don't know if it's the mic or what, but the keys sound like crap. I have a Bose headphone and it can't even make it sound better.

could you do the Microsoft flight simulator legacy theme?
Thanks
I will look into that one. Thank you!
@@pianobyaaron thanks I appreciate it🙂
@Spectacular Piano That was a great suggestion! I've posted a video to come out on 11/4 with your request. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@pianobyaaron thanks and I will be sure to learn it!
The second chorus has 5 lines instead of 6 so you skipped a major part. I'll improvise but beginners may get confused.
Thank you! I must have missed that part. I appreciate you pointing it out and hopefully it doesn’t throw people off too much. Unfortunately CZcams doesn’t allow you to make corrections or upload new versions of videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It should be cm instead of am. Not good to hear.
