    Thank you so much! I recently moved and have not played my piano in years. As part of my move I got it tuned and its tone is as warm and bright as ever. I feel like I have reunited with an old friend and this tutorial sparked me.

    @MarioAjero  Před 11 lety +1

    I never get tired of reading comments like this. It makes me feel great to hear that I've inspired some people that I've never met to try out the piano.

    My girlfriend is a complete beginner who was (partly) inspired to take up piano because of this song, and this video is an awesome tutorial. Don't denigrate someone's time and effort to make a beautiful piece of music accessible to as many people as possible, just because you personally find something easy. Just saying...

    Buying the sheet music from that website would help support the artists who created this song that you love.

    @helenwazhere: I used a Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV Grand Piano connected to a MacBook Pro computer. The software programs to display the keys/pedals and notation were Home Concert Xtreme and Internet MIDI by Timewarp Technologies. I used ScreenFlow to record the screen captures and did final edits in iMovie '09 for final edits.

  • @MarioAjero
    @MarioAjero  Před 14 lety

    @Dana21895 The bass notes are the same in chorus, but the accompaniment is varied in the right hand during the chorus. You can purchase the sheet music to see how that right hand goes during the chorus.

  • @MarioAjero
    @MarioAjero  Před 15 lety

    @Rabidraider: Thanks for buying the sheet music, Mark. If you send me a CZcams message with a private video of the part of the song that you're having trouble with, I'll be delighted to send you back a private lesson video on that part.

    @MarioAjero  Před 12 lety

    Many people have varying degrees of exposure to music education. This lesson obviously was not aimed at virtuoso pianists, but people who are more just fans of this music. If I was able to inspire them to try it out on the piano especially if they never touched a keyboard before, then I feel like I've accomplished something in providing a gateway to have them recreate this song at their own pianos.

    • @ceciliawie

    What was the program you were using at 5:37 ?

  • @MarioAjero
    @MarioAjero  Před 11 lety

    This covers just the opening for the song (which does repeat in the verses). The bridge and chorus have some different chords. You can find the rest in the sheet music that I talked about in the video. Also I've given some lessons on the chorus and bridge to some students over Skype or Google+ hangouts.

  • @witboek
    @witboek Před 15 lety

    What kind of software is that?

  • @DoveWrestler
    @DoveWrestler Před 11 lety +1

    not to be negative, but i think there is a wrong note in this. very easy to follow instructions, and it was a great help, but when the song switches to F chord, should the right hand thumb not be playing an A rather than a G? (second and fourth measures)

  • @seoheeheee
