Finally, a player that not only knows the song but can show the theory behind this classic Michael McDonald's awesome song. Thank you for this video, I really appreciate you. You have a new sub
@christianklikovits My pleasure, thank you, I've been through about a half dozen videos in the past 2 days on this song to refresh my old arrangement of this classic tune and finally I ran into your channel and your the only one to put it all together and your video is breathing some life into my old arrangement
"Then I heard your take Now I'm a believer" Excellent breakdown man and how you conveyed an obsession with detail in just over 13 min is exemplary. The viewer feels respected and I would expect, the Artists too, so your dharma is right on imo.
@@christianklikovitsYou're welcome Christian. I would recommend people check out Kent Nishimura's (instrumental) cover of this song if they would like to hear a (young) master at work.
Hey Everybody...I just discovered the "Super-Like" button - where i usually "Save" vids like this gem- $2 felt like the least i could do. Christian, You May Be A Genius...but it seems your Subject matter has kept you remarkably humble. Such a pleasure to learn from.
@@christianklikovits First of all - thank you for this tutorial! Some friends were discussing this, nerding it out and pointed me to your movie. When I listened again I think your analysis is right, but I hear an additional voice, a D both in the F and Fmi/F# chords, coming from an E in the C7/E that makes it a F6 resp. a Fm6 (or a D half-diminished 7th) over F#. Anyway - an analysis of that chord over the F# might be a bit too vertical thinking with those passing notes. Thanks again!
@@HakanGlante The D would make perfect sense on the two F chords, and I took quite some time trying to decide whether it's there or, but I'm just not hearing it. Watching his hands in the live videos - it also doesn't seem to be there. But I could be mistaken...
"Genius is in the details"
I love it!
That's why I don't compose, I interpret.
Just found you - I was really having trouble with the chorus- thanks so much! Love your theoretical breakdown. You are amazing- I just subscribed! 💫
Thank you, Karen 🙏🙂

This is awesome! A lesson and an understanding of what's going on. Thank you, Christian!
You're welcome 🙂
Another great song analysis Christian. I love this song by the Doobie Brothers--along with Minute By Minute and What a Fool Believes.
Thank you, Larry 🙏

Excellent job. It sounds wonderfully/beautifully complicated to the ear, and quite simple for the hands, thank you Christian!!!!
Thank you, Joe!
Wow! Thank you so much!
My pleasure 🙂🙏
Wonderfully ecplained!! You refer this to blues music. Even more so, this is Gospel music. Big part of Michaels back ground.
🙏
So detailed and well explained, thanks so much!!!🙌
My pleasure 🙂
This is awesome!

I'm REALLY grateful for having discovered your channel today, AWESOME!! All the bass-t from kayo
Thank you so much, Kayo, I appreciate that 🙏🙂
Thanks!
Thank you, Derek, much appreciated!
Outstanding……. Thank you

Thank you for this great tutorial Christian! Are you using the Studio Grand 2 piano sample on the Nord Piano? It sounds great!
Thank you, Anthony! I'm actually just using the Nord as a controller, the sound comes from Keyscape (Spectrasonics).
Can you do a tutorial on Minute By Minute and What a Fool Believes?
Hi Joe, they're on my list. For now, I did a short on the opening riff of 'What a fool believes"...
After a quick listen I hear a Ab/Gb instead of Fm/G# in the chorus. What do you think?
I'm fairly confident that it's Fmi...

@@christianklikovits I’m pretty sure I heard the D in the harmony vocals.
Let me check again later.
