    Tutorial • Tutorial - Abba - Danc...
    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
    Friday night and the lights are low
    Looking out for the place to go
    Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
    You come in to look for a king
    Anybody could be that guy
    Night is young and the music's high
    With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
    You're in the mood for a dance
    And when you get the chance...
    You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
    Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
    You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
    Leave them burning and then you're gone
    Looking out for another, anyone will do
    You're in the mood for a dance
    And when you get the chance...
    You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
    Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

    his left hand playing the baseline. wow. The best piano cover of this song

  • @littlenige

    So many times I come to UA-cam to hear covers of tunes, often to try and learn them myself. More often than not I find the chords are wrong or the feel is completely off, but you totally nailed it. You have 'The Ear'. Nice one.

    • @paulwwells
      @paulwwells  9 років тому +17

      Thank you. I try to get it as right as I can - sometimes compromising to get a near approximation condensed onto one keyboard. The trap which it is easy to fall into is that when you practice your version of a song, any arrangement errors overwrite the original in your own brain and you think you are playing a faithful version. I think my versions are accurate - but I would think that wouldn't I?

    • @amichaelhemingway
      @amichaelhemingway 9 років тому +3

      I know right! Other people do covers so sloppily and inaccurate, but not this guy. He definitely has "The Ear" and plays them all so well!

  • @paulwwells
    @paulwwells  12 років тому +5

    Thank you, you are very kind. I was born a bit too late to have a go at professional music when the sort of stuff I like to play was still mainstream.

    Nice bass rhythm

  • @pianomike777
    @pianomike777 13 років тому +5

    I have watched your videos many times and I've tried to understand what makes your versions of the songs you play so much more appealing to listen to than the others. I can't really put it into words. When you play these songs that are normally played by a full band, it's as if the other instruments are still there. Your basslines are awesome and groovin, your voicings are perfect and full and warm, and everything sounds just as good or better than the original. Truely talented! God Bless!!!

    • @jmares93
      @jmares93 Рік тому +1

      It's because he's playing the left hand like a bassist would (rather than just single quarter notes or something boring)

  • @KevinLetourneau88
    @KevinLetourneau88 14 років тому +11

    Your bass lines are always super fantastic!!! Wish I could play like that!

  • @tgn5434
    @tgn5434 Рік тому +1

    Weird to think piano covers on UA-cam peaked around 13-14 years ago. Still one of my favourite covers. Hope you’re still playing great stuff

  • @morrisdaniel771

    You are the BBBBBEEEEEESSSSSSTTTTTTT!!!!!!! at playing the piano these songs are the best

  • @deldia
    @deldia 10 років тому +2

    Excellent. Extremely faithful. Not an easy song to arrange for 1 instrument so most people compromise in many places. Not here.

  • @StephanedeleauPianostef
    @StephanedeleauPianostef 9 років тому +25

    super cover and I love the left hand bass sound !

  • @missmimo8844
    @missmimo8844 13 років тому +1

    I like this. One reason is that even though it's on the keyboard or the electric piano, you still give a lot of expression and passion to what you are playing. The quality is quite good as well. I love your bass lines and its amazing that you can play what a band plays on your own!

  • @rafiqali15
    @rafiqali15 3 роки тому +1

  • @Gerbilsftw
    @Gerbilsftw 7 років тому +7

    The way you fall onto the F#(? correct me if I'm wrong) at 0:50 is fantastic, really is the best part of the song

    • @paulwwells
      @paulwwells  7 років тому +5

      Thank you. It's unusual to have a chord change occur on the 4th beat of the bar. I'm thinking maybe the song drops one beat in that bar. It is rich and adventurous song writing at its peak.

    • @nezkeys79
      @nezkeys79 6 років тому +2

      it doesn't drop a beat in the original but it does here

  • @paulwwells
    @paulwwells  13 років тому +3

    @pianomike777 You are very kind. I don't know why more bedroom keyboard players don't give matching prominence to the bass line as the original track. I can understand live keyboard players keeping out of the way of the bass player. For older songs the sound recording quality of the day was a limiting factor. I just try to do the best I can. Thanks again for your comment.
