    glad to see you played the "d" note - most people dont play it & most teachers dont teach it - nice job...

    @3FreeStylers Před 13 lety +1

    Your the best teacher on youtube man, You have taught me alot of great piano pieces.
    I have a few suggestions for songs which you could learn and teach, I think good ones to teach would be:
    -aloe blacc - i need a dollar
    - Adelle - someone like you
    - Athlete - Chances
    -Jerry lee Lewis - Great balls of fire / Whole Lotta Shakin'
    They all have Amazing piano parts and i would be extremly happy if you decided to learn and teach a couple of these :P
    Thanks for all your teaching.

  • @cshimp10

    Mike - I really enjoy how you teach - You really help all of us out immensely - I'm having a problem understanding how G D F G is a G7 - I really can not see that - please tell me -- this is where you're walking up the right hand leading to the "G7" - On every website I go to it has G7 as G B D F - what am I missing - BTW - can we some Springsteen by any chance - like a Jungleland/Racing In the Street/Incident on 57th Street - Thanks Mike

    @BourneAccident Před 11 lety

    Mike- Pianojohn113 says there is no D on the C cord. One comment was that the D is only a ghost note created by the voicing but it's really not played. I disagree. I hear that D everytime in the original recording etc.

    Hey man. This is a really good lesson but you wasted like 2 minutes explaining that one D note. I am pretty sure everyone got the point after the first minute and 3 times you did it haha
    Thanks for the lesson though.
