- How to play and sing Dylan's classic song ‘Knockin on Heavens Door’
Do you find it difficult and complicated to play piano? Fingers won't do as they're told! Haha... and playing both hands together! Ouch!
If you'd like me to teach you how to play in a simple, easily achievable, musical way
No reading music, no complicated dots and dashes, just using a method where you will be 'making music' every time you sit at the piano.
Click here and I'll let you know when my new programme 'Rebel Piano' is ready.
theartofhealth... We're planning to launch on 1st June 2024 😊🎹
Rebel Piano provides a clear path from A to B, from learning the first steps - to getting better and more confident - to improving and mastering playing piano.
Step-by-step.
Monthly projects.
Weekly lessons and inspirations.
Above all, you'll be learning by actually making music - creating music at every stage.
It's enjoyable, it's fun… And I think you'll find it quite addictive!

Great arrangement! Great teaching! Thanks a lot!
@@UlfSYVERTSEN you’re very welcome Ulf. Glad you enjoyed it 😊🎹
I'd never played any instrument until I was 45 years old, when thanks to CZcams, I taught myself to play guitar. 16 years on and I now play Banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, and harmonica. I'm now learning piano and saxophone. You are so right about singing whilst learning to play and instrument. I always sang at the same time as I learning guitar, as I found it the best way to know when to make the chord change and to keep the correct rhythm them and timing, it was like I became my own metronome. I have since met so many guitarist that find it difficult to play and sing at the same time, because they never did it when the learn to play. I have taught several people to play guitar over the years (helped) and I always tell them the same thing. The words don't have to be 100% correct, but the song needs to be in your head. Hum if you have to, sing the chord names, but if you intend singing later, do it whilst you learn. I also believe that listening to the music that you are playing, whilst singing, eventually works back the other way and helps keep my voice and phrasing etc in check. I'm no music expert, far from it and I've never had a formal lesson, can't read music etc. But this has been my experience. I'm now playing Knocking on Heavens door on the piano and of course singing along to what I play. I don't know if you'd be interested in doing some more lessons of easy classic rock songs, of the period, but if you were, I'd definitely be interested. Thanks for a great lesson, I really appreciated it. Kind regards Clive. NSW Australia...
Thanks Clive. Great you’re playing all those instruments. I originally started on guitar too - in the folk clubs!
Yes, I’ve got plans to start creating more piano and singing stuff in here. I’ll tag you when it happens.
Thanks again. Rob
Do you know this song Clive?

@@robbeetube No I don't know it mate. I looked at it, watched both Sam Smith and pink, I enjoyed the Pink version. I'm afraid I live in a musical time warp and no longer listen to the radio. I use to try to listen to the radio and there are some very good new artists, but I just can't be bothered listening to all of the other stuff whilst waiting for a good song to come along. My music taste is very 1970s English, American and Australian rock back to the 1950s, Some American country and 1970s Glam...
Love it beautiful Rob.
Thank you Mindy 😊. Sending you much happiness 🎶❤️
Started teaching myself six years ago aged 70 to help try to delay the ravages of arthritis, did a little bit of theory and thought feck this, life is getting shorter by the day, so learn to play some tunes quick and enjoy the process. So Rob, I think I’m one of your rebels already and eager to receive your input to polish up my performance!
@@ianwood960 haha Ian - you certainly sound like one of my Rebels!! I’m 4 years younger than you but catching up quick!
Yes piano great for fending off finger stiffness and arthritis. It’s also wonderful for keeping your mind sharp and fending off that other dreaded A (Alzheimer's!)
Keep on playing and I’ll let you know as soon as Rebel piano opens again - I’m aiming for early August. 😊🎹
wonderful arrangement!
@@shelterme61 thanks Ferdinando 😊🎹
Easy to understand, good musicaly, good instruction! 👍
Amazing lesson thank you teacher 🎧🎹
I wish one day I can embellish a song similar to the way you do :-D Just a beginner here starting out, thanks for the tutorial - loved it. Cheers from Germany
Wish you'd do more singing-piano tutorials. Good stuff!
Well done tutorial Rob! Very motivated to learn to play this song now 😊
This was really instructive thank you.
Thank you - such a great song!
I am an oldie learning piano. I found the lesson very useful but..... I would like to learn the movements you played at the end. Nobody teaches those cool embelishments and extra voicings. That is a course I would buy... 😢😢😢
@@magalygouveia hey Magaly,great you enjoyed it. Learning how to improvise and get free to embellish your playing is what I teach in the Rebel Piano programme. We’re opening for new students again in August. If you put your details in here theartofhealth.ck.page/627d4104d2 I’ll keep you informed.
Rob 😊🎹
You made this make sense to me easier then any other video I’ve watched in the last hour so thank you!
-newbie
Thanks Alchemist, hope you're getting on well with your playing 😊🎹
What a blessing I just happened to pick this song as my entrance back into piano after quite some time and challenge myself to singing! Having so much fun with this video! You are an absolute delight! 🙏
Aww thanks Jennifer. Hope you’re getting to the heart of this brilliant song 😊🙏
@@robbeetube I sure am!
Minor correction, the film was Pat Garret and Billy the Kid.
Great video. I don't sing, but am learning the piano and now the ukulele.
Ah yes! - Keep playing, great 🎹
This is a great song and a fantastic job for this tutorial,thank you so much for sharing your knowledge💜
Thanks Monik. Enjoy 😊 🎹
Thank you😊
Seriosly so little subscribers??? Man you deserve much more
Great video Rob! I wish you'd had more tutorials/covers!
More on the way Rick 😊🎶
I wish my self to play so perfect and easy like you, and wish you all the best !
Thank you Sławomir 🙏. Wishing you well too 😊🎹
Great lesson! Thank you ,and greetings from Buenos Aires.
Awesome
Thanks Martin 😊🎶😊
Good instruction and explanation. Can you do a video on the melody? Very slowly for beginners......
Hey Daria, I’m working on a new series of lessons for beginners. I’ll message you on here when it’s getting ready. Yes, I’ll do a video in this melody 😊🎶
Rob
G'day mate are you a Lancashire lad or Cheshire IAM a Cheshire born lad living in Australia loved here since I was nine now I am 66 great tuitorial love it ,
Hey Sean - Lancashire lad through and through!
Good to hear from daaan under!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson - plenty more coming soon - I’m just developing a ‘how to play and sing’ programme ‘Rebel Piano’.
Are you a beginner or a more experienced player?
Thanks, Rob! Great tutorial!
Thanks Grateng - it’s such a great song isn’t it 😊🎶🎹
This is a very good lesson. I think would be an even better lesson if you spent more time going over in detail all of the embellishments you did at the end of the video.
@@jhn1987 thanks 🙏🎹 yes those embellishments at the end, it’s all about confidence and being comfortable improvising.
Take a look at the Rebel Piano programme when we reopen in August, I teach and encourage exactly this kind of thing 😊🎹
@@robbeetube It’s all about sus2, sus4, pentatonic scale, and chord inversions. I understand all of this and I think knowing this gives you confidence. What would be helpful to me is a slow breakdown of the embellishments. With the knowledge I have I feel fairly confident I would pick up on it quickly.
Thank you a lot pianiste .
Great! Please do more tutorials like this.
Excellent and great performance Rob. We have a new novice piano dude on our Norwwegian band. And this was a very good demostration on how to play this song. Thank you Rob :-)
you are amazing, thanks
Hi! Rob, just started to do your course on Udemy Let it be and now finding you on CZcams! Im a beginner at 63 and really enjoy your videos You are a Great teacher ! So full of Positive energy! I will be very proud if I manage to play these 2 favorite songs ! Hope you make more videos like this! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent! Blessings 🙏 and Greetings from 🇨🇦
Thanks for this kind comment young man (or young lady??). I’m 70 this year and it’s never too late to learn new stuff is it 😊🙏
🤶
Rob: I notice you play right hand chords typically with your thumb, index and ring fingers. Is that personal preference or recommended? I’m a 78 y/o beginner and truly enjoy your lessons and playing whilst having so much fun!

@@skagi123 Richard - I’ve never thought why really! It just feels comfortable that way. Also it leaves your little pinky free to play a forth note in the chord!
Keep enjoying your playing that’s how you’ll progress 😊🎹
Thats helpful.thanks bob.
this is so good. thanks Rob. Nice one

Great tutorial
Thanks @Mr.musicman 😊🎶😊
I wanted to compliment you on your voice also.
Why thank you 🙏 😊
A wonderful tutorial BUT can you also show the fills? That would be great!
@@stefaniegroe8708 thanks Stefanie. …That’s just the kind of thing I teach in Rebel Piano 😊🎹😊
@@robbeetube Thanks so much! Maybe you could also imagine giving me lessons online? Would it be possible? How much would it cost? It doesn't have to be weekly, maybe every two weeks is enough. That would be soooo great. There are no smart teachers here 😞 I come from Germany.
@@stefaniegroe8708 my online teaching is all in the Rebel Piano school at the moment. It’s opening again on 19th August you can sign up in the info under the CZcams videos. Hope that’s ok for now?
@@robbeetube Okay, thank you! 🙂
Thanks like this lesson the best
Thanks Dr E 😊🎹
Sir this is really good really good
Wow. That's super!
Thanks 😊🎹🎼
Thank u! ❤️
You are such a cool dude!
Hi Rob. Thank you for this clear tutorial, it's fantastic, the 1st tune I've learnt as a 45 beginner. I wonder if you have any more planned, and do you take tutorial requests 😁
Hi Claire, thanks for this. Yes - this is the year I’m going to expand these play piano and sing tutorials.
I’ve got a few song courses (and a free one) on Udemy
www.udemy.com/user/rob-73/
As for requests - yes definitely! Popular classics are my thing. I played a gig in Kendal - the English Lake District- this last Saturday night and they were really into The Doors, Monkees, Beatles, Billy Joel (Piano Man of course).
…I’m open to suggestions.
@@robbeetube Thank you, I will check out the link to Udemy, very helpful. Funnily enough a request I had in mind to ask you is House of the Rising Sun, or Let it be. Whatever you teach I'll be learning happily!
What are some techniques you would suggest learning to embellish the chords?
Amazing
This is fantastic! I would like to know what notes/chords you recommend to fill in the space at the end of the Am and C during the choruses and verses. I can see you play them but would love to know what they are.
Hi Robyn - the notes!! I’m not exactly sure myself! I’m playing rhythmically and improvising using notes in the key of G.
A favourite ‘device’ of mine is to feature the second note of the chord in the filler bits.
A minor - the note would be a B
C - the note would be a D
…it’s the 9th of the chord and would be written Am9 and C9 respectively.
Hope that helps.
Go for it 🙂🎹
très bonne pédagogie very good !
kris kristoferson played the kid.....dylan played "alias"
Were you in the Bee Gees? Asking for a friend.
Haha - I wish Lawrence!!
Se falasse português seria ótimo 💙💙😳
