Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) was written by Christopher Cross, Burt Bacharach and others for the 1981 movie Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. Once released, this song sat at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. In this lesson you have some options - either sit with the chords and shapes and come up with your own suitable accompaniment pattern or learn it nearly exactly as it was played on the record. At first glance this might look like a tough one to learn, but if you spend some time with this lesson you'll find that not only are there really only two four-measure progressions that loop, but a lot of the material is very pattern based and repetitive. Whether you want to just learn the basics or recreate the piano part as it was recorded, you're in the right place. Enjoy!

I can't get tired of this song
PLEASE EXCUSE ME SHOUTING OUT LOUD. This song is one of my most favourite musical scores of all time . I saw heard it when I saw the film in 81.
Your tutorial has to be the best ever . You have put the most amazing smile on my face . Not that I can play it but you have made it so much easier to follow. I am trying to teach myself piano fir the past 15 years and just now am getting somewhere. By now I should be a lot better . Lesson you need help to learn . THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you sir, I was fortunately gifted an Otto Altenburg baby grand piano gifted by a retired music teacher and delivered by Otto's great grandson.
I am in love with Glen Gould's works, especially the Bach renditions.
And I appreciate your dedication and are eager to learn beyond belief the many works composed upon this earth, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, Ravel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Hayden, etc......my goodness the list is infinite, including my favorite movie Arthur and the many works of Burt Bacharach.
God bless all that you do and all of your loved ones forever, amen. ❤
I love this song, and the movie.
Anyone expecting to be able to sing "HEY, WHAT A WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY" and be taken back to your childhood?
Omg you’re right. One of the best.
I can’t express into words how disappointed I am that it wasn’t the theme of the beloved Arthur😂
What a jam!!! Sweet nostalgia...
sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?

I love your videos, but it was Burt Bacharach who wrote the piano music for Arthur’s Theme, and co-writer Chris Cross contributed lyrics and of course, sang it.
It was Peter Allen
Team effort for sure!

Bonjour
Comment on accède à la partie 2 de Arthur's thème ?
Merci d’avance
Christian
can you pls. put Notes on those falling bars ....
Hello:)
hi!
Can't find What a fool Believes part 2
You mention part 2. Where is it?
HDpiano.com has all parts to all songs with one subscription 🙏🏻✌🏻
cant find part 2
Where's part 2 pls help
Is this exactly how it played in the song? Or is it different
Same!
When I am trying to do an accurate cover I usually put 90% of my effort into nailing the intro, and in this case it's almost a perfect copy. Just about the only thing I spotted was at about the 21 second mark where this version inserts an A chord (2nd invn) on beat 1; to my ear the way this is omitted in the original is unexpected, effective, and adds character
I sure wish this guy would display the basic chord progressions on these videos it would make a lot more sense. Or, never mind, now he is going to tell me the chords are all on his web site.
Thanks for the feedback! We've been integrating more graphics and chord progressions in our newer videos. Always aiming to improve our product, so, again thank you!
@@HDpiano memorizing the chords, Dmin, G, C, F, D min, E, A is a lot easier than trying to learn all those notes one at a time. Everything just falls into place once you know them.
Part 2?
All parts to all lessons are featured at hdpiano.com!
is A the ks?
The verse's key is a little ambiguous (it sort of implies D minor or C major), but the Chorus is more clearly in the key of A major.
@@HDpiano merci for the info. when can i see a french pop song in HDP?
The crediting is wrong. The melody to Arthurs theme, as opposed to the entire song, was written by just Burt Bacharach.
Thanks for the info! (Our naming conventions almost always will refer to the artist whose performance we're teaching, but we definitely appreciate the songwriters behind the songs as well!)
I preferred his 1992 hit "Jump"
ah!
this was much harder than i thought it would be...💀
It's a toughie! You can do it!!
can you guys do a tutorial of " Poker Face" PLEASE!!!!!

Isn't this Say Goodbye to the yellow brick road by Elton John?
No
@@dancollinsandapiano sounds just like the chorus or the other way around. Whoever wrote the melody first.
@@AmbientJoe Elton's line You know you can't hold me forever is much the same as the first line of the melody by Burt, but as far as I can see that's where the resemblance ends
this is the worst example of clickbait i have ever seen
B-b-but it’s the name of the song. And it existed before the PBS show.
😕😳 It's the title! No intent to mislead :)
