Thank you for this session! Yes I did enjoy this "Imagine" very much! Keep in touch by showing all beginners your easy method of learning...you teach in a "manner of patience" that's appreciated by numerous beginners indeed! Thank you!
Wow, it's been 20 years for me on not listening to songs like this, but when I decided to play this song, it made me cry, because of the memories of listening to those songs since when I was 17 years old, now I listen to songs like this, Who loves this song 👇
I’m absolutely thrilled by this! I knew the song should be quite easy to learn as it’s just alternative triads, but you break it down really nice and make it visual with your way of doing videos. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for bringing one of my favorite songs within reach of my abilities. When I master this song and play it in public as a new addition to my portfolio I will be a very happy man. Along with McCarthy's Yesterday I will have mastered the 2 best Beatles songs.
This is a great tutorial and I’m going to give it a go. However, anyone else notice that in the bridge/pre chorus he was playing F when the music said E? I’ll try both
Great video. It really made this song seem doable - since I had the sheet music at home - and tried to play it myself before and got frustrated - this video really made the song seem "not as difficult as I thought"
Thank you for this easy to follow tuition ihaving learned the notes/chord positions this is to be my first song practiced when my digital piano arrives soon.
Excellent lesson! I love how you show the music notation *and* the keys that are being played (fingering) on the piano. You explain it slowly and so well that even an old man like myself who has only been fooling with piano for three years can understand it. Absolutely, hands down, the best piano lesson I have seen on "Imagine" on CZcams. THANK-YOU! Do you have a lesson on "Ruby Tuesday" by the Rolling Stones?
Excellente! But the video you said on how you played the whole song, or the link went to a page that the video was unavailable...anyway thanks for your tutorial.
Guys this is close, but not exactly how it is played on the recording. You are missing the D in the C2 chord played after the chromatic riff on beat 1 only. Also he doesn't rock his right hand to his thumb at all. Those C's are played in the LH with an alternating Octave LH pattern.
You are probably right but I think Jordan is going for playability and ease rather than accuracy to the recording. The audience is probably more for beginners and new players so he tailored the lesson for that. But I'm sure he doesn't mind either way as long as you play the song!
If you listen closely to the original recording by Lennon there is a D (played with the right hand 5th finger/pinky) at the beginning of each bar in the verse added as a top note above the G. If it is played without the D nobody notices anyway so it could be left without.
Honestly only just started but by far this is the best channel for clear instructions, others are very good but I find myself back to you each time, thank you
One of the few who actually slow the lesson down . Thank you Jordan!!! I Have followed Lisa for some time,but you are also a force to your trade!!!!!!!
Has anyone tried playing this in A=444 Hz instead of the standard 440? If so what did you think? Great video btw, I learned this so quick and easy you earned a subscribe. I'll give this a couple days practice then hop on the next song!
Many thanks for the excellent tuition! I see you are using different fingers each time you play the chromatic climb in the 2nd and 4th bars etc? Please can you tell me which fingers are best in order to quickly return to the C triad?
Hey thanks so much for all you do for us. Do you think you could give a beginner lesson on how to add blues tones to our playing.... something like what you did in your Hey Jude lesson? Keep 'em coming!
1:02 Just a correction - in the original recording, in the main (opening) pattern John Lennon plays a pinky D when playing the C (inversion) triad that follows the A-Bb-B runup. That wasn't included in this video. So the first chord played in the 3rd measure of the right hand would be a 3 note triad consisting of E-G-D. It's a simple addition and makes the song if you add it. John Lennon plays the D each cycle.
I liked that's lessons 🎹 in a real life my love 💓 🌹😘 in the year's 2014 & 2015 . With normally day's when the days I young with pandemic covid - 19 case's .
I agree. My memory seems to feel like four notes close that bar...not three. I look forward to listening to John's recording and making the correct adjustment.
Thank you for an outstanding tutorial of this wonderful song! I have never played an instrument before and am learning to play keyboard. The slow pace of the song, combined with relatively simple patterns, is enabling this rookie to play something very satisfying in a very short period of time. I agree with Ricardo that having the keyboard displayed above makes it much simpler to follow along.
Nice tutorial. You made a slight mistake on the pre-chorus though. On the F/C you played FAC, a regular F triad rather than EAC as the sheet music says
@@C84__84 They are probably going to classes somewhere and looking videos online to improve their skill And maybe they know sheet music just like how I know to read them Anyway it's their choice to look videos on youtube and to post a reasonable comment moreover the concerned person was very kind about it So I hope you don't intervene in other's business. I hope that does answer your question.
Great lesson. This is what I have been looking for a lesson that I sing to and doesn't have the other lead notes. I hope your other lessons for other songs are like this too so I can sing to them. Many lesson on the net for this song put in the notes for every note and thats not what I want so glad you have this type of lesson.
Your tutorial is excellent but please execute me, in row 5 bar 2 F/C chord the notes E,A,C form an A minor chord. I try both Am and F and they are all sound good.
Thanks a lot for this, it's an amazing tutorial. Just one thing confuses me: at 5:14 we go then back up to F, but the notes displayed show, that we would go back to E. So is there a mistake in the notes or has it something to do with that Am/E and F/C that is displayed above the notes? Obviously I still have no clue, what those mean :D Cheers and thanks a lot again!
Thank you. This is really really helpful for learning the individual sections of the song, I think I’ve finally cracked the three sections, but I’m struggling a bit with transitioning from one section to the next. Having listened repeatedly to the song, as the first verse section transitions to the pre-chorus he doesn’t do the trill part so I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to be playing.. I’m a complete beginner btw
I only found that out by looking at other scores and singing along - just before the pre-chorus you need to skip the chromatic transition ( A-Bflat-B) in verse and instead play F chord one more time. the transition goes smoothly. - I am complete beginner as well, so thats not 100% sure, but it sounds right.
@@pennyredproductions in the pre chorus, the measure where F/C is noted, the notes actually are Am/C. He plays F/C, i think it should be Am/C like in the score, but again, thats a gut feeling. Good luck !! i have a lot of fun with this piece!
@@arturzbronski3682 thanks so much for your response. I’ve loved playing this song, I can almost play & mumble the words but I’m not quite at the point where I can sing it fully and play. Similar to yourself I saw another video where someone dealt a bit more with the transitions. This video was great for leaning the individual parts though
Hey Jordan I really enjoyed showing me how to play Imagine the right way. Thanks. Could you also by any chance do a lesson on " Isn't it a Pity" by George Harrison. I'm having a hard time figuring out the progression. Again Thank you

I'm trying to play Imagine by John Lennon step by step key by key
A band I was in back in high school tried to do this. Terribly. Now, over 20 years later, I'm gonna make it up to the spirit of John Lennon.
Thank you for this session! Yes I did enjoy this "Imagine" very much! Keep in touch by showing all beginners your easy method of learning...you teach in a "manner of patience" that's appreciated by numerous beginners indeed! Thank you!
Excellent! As a guitar guy, I would say this is the best piano tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you!
As a guitarist/musician I'd agree whole heartedly!!!!
yah
I whole heartedly Agree!!!! Thank you Jason!!!🙏🙏🙏
Wow, it's been 20 years for me on not listening to songs like this, but when I decided to play this song, it made me cry, because of the memories of listening to those songs since when I was 17 years old, now I listen to songs like this,
Who loves this song
👇
I’m absolutely thrilled by this! I knew the song should be quite easy to learn as it’s just alternative triads, but you break it down really nice and make it visual with your way of doing videos. Thanks a lot!
YOU ARE THE BEST! I FINALLY LEARNED A WHOLE SONG, I'M SOOOO ECXITED! ☺︎
now I'm trying to sing and play at the same time
this was the first whole song i learned too because it is in C major
Congratulations 👍
EXACTLY HOW I FELT ABOUT “Clocks”!!!!
I’m struggling at the last part lol
Thanks for bringing one of my favorite songs within reach of my abilities. When I master this song and play it in public as a new addition to my portfolio I will be a very happy man. Along with McCarthy's Yesterday I will have mastered the 2 best Beatles songs.
John Joubert Imagine was a Lennon solo piece. I know what you mean tho. ✌️
Finally a more simplified version of imagine. Thanks so much for this piano tutorial
This is a great tutorial and I’m going to give it a go. However, anyone else notice that in the bridge/pre chorus he was playing F when the music said E? I’ll try both
I just noticed this. The sheet music provided doesn’t match the video
@@LadyCameoASMR i was stuck at that part for a little bit, but i think F should be the correct one there
I’m pretty new and this is a game changer
You've done an excellent job here, very clearly explained & super easy to follow. Thanks a lot.
I'm a total newbie, so I appreciate the detailed and slow approach. It's going to take a lot of work, but in a few weeks, I might have it
This is awesome. I’m determined to finally learn a piano song all the way through thank u so much
Great tutorial. Would be nice if the Sheet music was update to correct the errors in the Pre-Chorus. Thanks
Perfect beginner song!
Really appreciate this tutorial love this John of Lennon. I’m trying to learn it and enjoying the journey so far. 🙏
Great video. It really made this song seem doable - since I had the sheet music at home - and tried to play it myself before and got frustrated - this video really made the song seem "not as difficult as I thought"
its great that you include jOHN in this instruction. thanks
Thank you for this easy to follow tuition ihaving learned the notes/chord positions this is to be my first song practiced when my digital piano arrives soon.
Excelente el tutorial! De todos los que vi de la canción “Imagine” es el más claro, sencillo y mejor explicado que vi. Muchas gracias.
absolutely the best tutorial of this song...here in 2019! thoroughly enjoying your style of teaching, clear and patient. Thankyou !!
YAY I CAN PLAY IMAGINE 🥺🤩😍💗
Excellent lesson! I love how you show the music notation *and* the keys that are being played (fingering) on the piano.

Best Imagine Tutorial I have seen. Thank you!
Excellente! But the video you said on how you played the whole song, or the link went to a page that the video was unavailable...anyway thanks for your tutorial.
Thank you so much! I just learned the intro in 10 minutes and I just started playing piano!

After you learn the song play it your way , not someone else's, improvise. Just saying
I agree with you
Misses theD
You are probably right but I think Jordan is going for playability and ease rather than accuracy to the recording. The audience is probably more for beginners and new players so he tailored the lesson for that. But I'm sure he doesn't mind either way as long as you play the song!
Thanks so much. I've been a guitarist for decades but still never learned piano. I'm gonna try in the new year. :)
If you listen closely to the original recording by Lennon there is a D (played with the right hand 5th finger/pinky) at the beginning of each bar in the verse added as a top note above the G. If it is played without the D nobody notices anyway so it could be left without.
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen! As a non piano player I could play the song very well! Thank you!
So now you are kind of a player yeah?
@@Jeremyparker well, depending on who’s listening hahaha
Great tutorial. Thank you. One of the greatest songs ever. ❤
I am looking for tutorials for weeks, this is definitely the best. It is very clear and elucidative, thanks.
Thanks so much. There's so many scores on the internets without the full chords and they really don't do the song justice.
I'm a good piano player I must say you're really good explaining this every detail. Great natural teacher.
Honestly only just started but by far this is the best channel for clear instructions, others are very good but I find myself back to you each time, thank you
One of the few who actually slow the lesson down . Thank you Jordan!!! I Have followed Lisa for some time,but you are also a force to your trade!!!!!!!
Thanks for your clear tutorial
Wonderful lesson! That screen with the keys diagram along with real playing and score is really cool!
It helps to teach too! So cool! :)
Has anyone tried playing this in A=444 Hz instead of the standard 440? If so what did you think?
Great video btw, I learned this so quick and easy you earned a subscribe. I'll give this a couple days practice then hop on the next song!
Thank you for the showing of the song Imagine, it motivates me to start playing... lovely song. Thanks
John Lennon would ❤️ you for this.. TIMELESS song! 🎶👍🇳🇿
I'm doing imagine for a singing exam and I want to practice it with piano as well so thank you :D
Thank you for this simple explanation of this awesome song
In the pre chorus in the second part of the second bar you go back to F chord while playing, but the notation shows a triad of E A C, not F A C
Exactly! Hard to tell what's right. Does anyone have an idea?
I'm wondering the same thing says E A C not F A C....I play this a totally different way and this is confusing the crap out of me
Exactly!! F sounds better than E here in my opinion. It's closer to Imagination, I mean.
Many thanks for the excellent tuition! I see you are using different fingers each time you play the chromatic climb in the 2nd and 4th bars etc? Please can you tell me which fingers are best in order to quickly return to the C triad?
Excelente tutorial. Muchas gracias. Tu nueva seguidora y un saludo a todos los poetas que aman el piano.
Great Great Great !!! - Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU !!
Please teach me "Oh my love by John Lennon". I really want to learn this beautiful song.
Hey thanks so much for all you do for us. Do you think you could give a beginner lesson on how to add blues tones to our playing.... something like what you did in your Hey Jude lesson? Keep 'em coming!

Close. You are missing the D note at the end of each of the chromatic riff on beat one. i.e. A-A#-B-D. It makes all the difference.
I agree. My memory seems to feel like four notes close that bar...not three. I look forward to listening to John's recording and making the correct adjustment.

As a complete beginner,thank you so much.
Brilliant tutorial thanks so much. Could you do James Blunt No Bravery tutorial sometime please
Excellent lesson 👏👍. Good, practical, step-step slow pace. Thank you!
This is the first song I learned :)
Thank you so much for this outstanding tutorial!
wow¡¡¡¡¡ Amazing talent!
Excellent. Thank you.
I learnt the first part myself. I just need to learn the actual chords. It's like learning a language. 🧑🏻🏫🎼
I think there is a mistake on the sheet music 5:11 where we play an F and the sheet shows E. But excellent lesson thanks.
Oh yes good catch!
Yeah! Saw this one too. Good thing you mentioned it. Now, it's clear. Thanks. :)
Great lesson. This is what I have been looking for a lesson that I sing to and doesn't have
the other lead notes.
I hope your other lessons for other songs are like this too so I can sing to them.
Many lesson on the net for this song put in the notes for every note and thats not what I want so glad you have this type of lesson.
You make it look so easy! can you show us how to play Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rea! Please!
Can you please do a tutorial on "Something" by The Beatles?? I love your technique in teaching. I appreciate the patience.. Thank you!!
Love the way you teach this song.
Great tutorial thank you. Do you use the pedals? Would like to see instruction for that. Thanks
Just put your foot on it 👍

I like the way you explained it. Could you explain "ballade pour adelina" the same way? please
Great tutorial
This is an excellent tutorial of a loved favorite.

Thank you so much I’m going to play for my Dad on Fathers Day
Excellent lesson, thank you. Maybe you can do a lesson on how to sing it in key for the celebrities to get it right.
Your tutorial is excellent but please execute me, in row 5 bar 2 F/C chord the notes E,A,C form an A minor chord. I try both Am and F and they are all sound good.
Perfect explanation. Thank you
Thanks now I can finish this song, thank you very much for your download 🖤
Sheet music wrong on the pre-chorus , it has 5 notes at the end instead of 2 x 4 notes G major triad , 1 inv 2nd bar
Thankyou...this is awesome
Love it, but maybe cut up the prechorus a little more
Thanks a lot for this, it's an amazing tutorial. Just one thing confuses me: at 5:14 we go then back up to F, but the notes displayed show, that we would go back to E.

I’m wondering the same thing. I think it’s a mistake.. the E note should be an F
Great Teacher You are ...
Very good lesson for me though I am into guitar
You guys are the best piano tutorial, and pls I would so happy if you can teach us the song tutorial for bad liar by imagining dragons
