Thank you for not trying to sing during your tutorials, it makes them infinitely more watchable. You’re the man
I would never do that 😂
Best lessons on YT at the moment
agree
Thanks!! 🙏🙏
Excellent tutorial, thanks for breaking it down into logical steps like that, it really helps, cheers 👍🙂
Fantastic tutorials, thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank’s a lot - very helpful! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your tutorials, Pierre! They are just so helpful and fun to watch, you have such a pleasant teaching style.
I was hoping you'd eventually talk about this song. Great content as always! 👏🙌🙏
This was an excellent lesson! There are many YT lessons on Your Song but you have managed to do what noone else has done so far. You broke the song down into the underlying chord voicings and then went into detail about the arpeggiation. By doing this, it is much easier to learn and memorize the song. I appreciate the work you put into this tutorial. It would be awesome if you could do tutorials on some of the Elton John songs for which there are no good tutorials on YT like Take Me to the Pilot, Burn Down the Mission, and Amoreena.
That arpeggio learning style would also be appropriate for the "Tiny Dancer" intro as well.
Excellent work!
Excellent teacher. I can do this! Thank you!❤
loved this tutorial -you know music
Been playing this for years, and still learned so much from this beautiful tutorial.
Your a great teacher!
Once again your attention to detail has shown me I have been a little more “random” 😂 playing and singing this song. These are nice small details I have missed in past!
I'm noticing Elton - writing in several keys and modes - - - a lot of his music has a Bossanova flavour.
Great tutorial! Thank you
This is great thank you, looking forward to giving it a go!
excellent, thanks a lot. I'm new to piano, but between lessons like to learn songs I know (very slowly) cheers!
Love the channel Pierre!! I'm a huge Hornsby/Elton John fan, so you are right in my wheelhouse!!!
Excellent!
Uh oh....Pierre is going Hollywood on us with the fresh haircut!!! Thanks for another amazing lesson!!
Wonderful.
Thank you so much Pierre. This is one of my favourite songs and I've always wanted to play it. Superb lesson, as always.
My pleasure!
Excellent!! Ty!
Thank you!:) great lesson😊. you made this song so much more accessible than other lessons. Would you consider writing down chord charts that line up with the lyrics? And maybe write down the fingering for the chords.
Very good instructions! Please do Candle in the Wind? Cannot find anyone that can teach it well..I would really appreciate it.
So far I like how you teach
Great teacher, Great. Song but definately not. For beginners 😂 your keyboard has Great sound May We know what brand and modèl Thank you for sharing your Amazing talent ❤
Great lesson with Elton John ❤….Love his music 🎶 and would love to see many more from him as well🎹
Fantastic lesson. This is the kind of format that actually teaches you the song and I certainly hope you keep making them.
Ser, Piscitelli can you play Rossana, the syntiser part and piano solo at ending part, and make it tutorial and do it in very slow motion& thank you! Appreciate it.
You’re the kind of piano teacher I’d send my child to…
Great tutorial. Could you do a turorial about Sad Songs, live version?
Absolutely, beautiful!!
Man! If I would have had a piano teacher like you back when. . . . I've been a formally trained (trumpet) musician since 1973. In 1978, I began "noodling" on the piano. I used everything I knew about music theory to "fake" a lot of popular songs. The problem? My fingering was . . . not good. I have, over the years, either in college, or by a private teacher, taken piano lessons. That was somewhat successful. However, to this day, I'm still just playing the chords and faking it. If I have a chord sheet, I can hold my own - - - but. - - - if someone puts sheet music in front of me, it's gonna take me a few minutes to translate it into chords. Is there any hope for me?
Beautiful chords and very clear explanation. Thank you.
Love this tutorial. Your teaching style is awesome.
Thank you for great lessons :) I also would like to learn "Sad eyes" by Bruce Springsteen, a fairly simple but beautiful song.
Always something learned which is a good thing! Thank you
Yesssss !
Really clearly but great way of teaching the songs. Concise video. 5/5🎉

Can you do some radiohead songs?
That shape G Bb Eb G is quite a stretch.
It is 😅
Apologies for them comments ...oops 😊
👍 😎
👏👏👏📽️🔝
This is very cool, thanks Pierre. I’m still struggling to work out the intro even on min speed. Is the any chance you could spell out the fingers for the arpeggios? eg Eb 1253 Ab 1253 Cmin 9 12542 I think :)
They are going to vary depending on the individual, technique and size of your hands. I would follow along with the video and copy my fingers slowly, making adjustments if what I’m doing feels weird!
👊👊👊
Everyone always does the obvious Elton songs, maybe you can break that trend, there are no tutorials for Elton's Lucy in the Sky or Pinball Wizard or lots of his deep cuts. I do enjoy your channel though.
I wish I knew how to get you more views on your question and answer video. I loved it. I'm afraid you will avoid that format in the future. I want to know more. I know you already covered perfect pitch with Beato, but you should do your own episode about it. You are probably sick and tired of talking about it but a lot of us are very fascinated. Just do a really good and thorough treatment of it, then forever more you can say "I did a video about it. Here is the link." I'll bet it would be a steady view earner for many years. Tell us your top 100 favorite songs. You don't have to play them, just tell us. Also, tell us who you follow.
I was just looking at the jump in views you got when you did the Rhodes and DX7. I think you are on to something. I'm not sure if your plans include getting sponsors, but if higher views are enough, I really love unsponsored opinions on gear, but I would understand if you were holding out for a sponsorship.
Thanks for your hard work. I look forward to your drops.
Thanks for this-- very thoughtful and insightful. As the channel is still pretty new, there is going to be a fair amount of trial and error. Some videos are smash hits, and others fall flat. It's a normal part of the game! I'm just doing what interests me, and what I hope will interest others. I'm always taking suggestions and ideas. Thanks again for watching!
