You rule Karlis, I love all your tutorials. Not to be a know-it-all but pretty sure Billy played the song on a Fender Rhodes. Still sounds great how you did it, especially with that voice. Thanks for what you do.

[@karlismusik]

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. And I can totally see it being played on a fender rhodes with a phaser pedal. You just can't beat those real instruments being recorded to tape. So dope

[@paulsnyder7538]

Thank you Karlis. Beautiful playing on a beautiful song. One of my faves and you teach it well. The different key makes it special. I figured it out by ear, but can’t play it like you. Wonderful.

[@karlismusik]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. This is a great and timeless piece of art. Had lots of fun studying it

[@oteiabc]

This is such a wonderful lesson with one of my most favorite songs in the entire world since I was a young girl! You did such a wonderful job with it! Keep up the Fantastic work you're doing! It really makes a difference!

This was a great tutorial, the only thing I would love is if the chords highlighted above could be in a different color so it would be easier to see, but this was amazing! Thank you so much

[@renstarhurst3302]

Thank you, so beautiful

[@Islajoy2]

Your voice is so freaking good!! Awesome tutorial

[@tjp1451]

Hey, pretty sure the first chord in the intro riff should be G minor not G maj. Great voice dude!

[@Axe_Slinger]

The third chord in the intro is a D suspended 4th. When you play the G/D just shift the B to an A Don't drop the G to F#. I watched an interview with Billy Joel and he says when someone plays that for him he says, "it Drives me nuts so then I have to cirrect them!"

I like your arrangement and beautiful chords. I have mostly learned it. However, I read that Billy J plays the song in key of E flat major. I usually like to learn the song how it was written. Is BJ version very different to your version?

Hey Karlis, super big fan of your channel, you been such an inspiration to learn piano. I know you’ve done some Donny Hathaway before, and I was wondering if you could cover Frank Mccomb’s live version of Love,Love,Love by Donny.
Much Respect!

[@karlismusik]

Thanks for your support I really appreciate it. I will add to the list

[@ryanedwardmusic]

The first chord should actually have a Bb. It's like G minor to G major, to D in the right hand

Dude. You got the intro chords wrong. Its a Gm6 over D not Gmajor.

First chord is a G minor 6. The Second chord is a G major. The third chord is a D sus. Thanks for the video but you have many wrong chords throughout your tutorial.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Nice, but when speaking in terms of a key signature though, you would want to use the same name symbols as the Key Signature it belongs to. The song is in the key of D Major which has two sharps. So, in explaining the B minor 6 chord, the Ab and G# are most definitely enharmonic equivalents, but you would want to tell the listener that you're going to a G#, not an Ab, to keep it consistent. Plus, a sixth up from B would be a G#, not an Ab (B C# D E F#( G#) A B). There's other 'things' I would question, but hey, that's for another day. :)

[@karlismusik]

I definitely feel you as I am not formally trained. I learn by ear and pick up theory as I go. I learned in the setting where an e flat was also a d sharp. But I do understand what you’re saying and will be more mindful of this in the future. Appreciate you and thanks for watching

[@IamtheI]

your notes are off .. why are you suing a b instead of bb in the beginning riff

[@karlismusik]

I’m sorry about that. I do always say I’ll do “my best” to interpret the chords and progressions so I don’t claim to be the end all be all. I am always open to corrections and suggestions. Thanks for watching

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

Just two small BUT critical mistakes which are stripping the emotion from your chords - yours is too uplifting relative to the origina. and here is why: In the intro your first right hand chord, put your thumb on the Bb instead of the B. You'll instantly hear the difference and that'll echo throughout the rest of your interpretation of the song. ( By the way the chord is a G minor first inversion - the darkness of the minor!!) Also in the intro - the right hand, the third chord is identical to the second chord, but you just drop your pinky to the A; you simply diminish it. So you'll have D-G-B followed by D-G-A. I appreciate the effort though. Your performance is really good and the way you played it and sang is done well. Just change those two chords and it'll change the rest of the song and you'll knock it out of the park!
