This is what real rock music is, with literally rocking back and forth between a minor and major third, putting the overall feel of the sound into that area between "major=happy" and "minor=sad". Seriously, this is what I love about rock music, and you, Sir, are a generous man to place these tools within the reach of my mere mortal fingers.
Excellent! Thanks for taking your time to help us learn! You're a saint!! Not sure which saint they would necessarily refer to you as, but, you're def a REAL, live Saint and you're doin some powerful and kind acts on this planet! For myself it's just the mental health assistance, or mental "help", that you've unwittingly given to me. Can't thank you enough, enough times or enough to where you'd even understand or comprehend!! Thanks again, M.Bourne.
Hey Tyler. I just wanted to tell you that your tutorials have really conncected with me. I have watched quite a few of these over the years but you method of explaining has really worked and I've nailed a bunch of your arrangements thanks so much Peter
Sitting in tomorrow with my old band for just this song. Thought it would be neat to play the original solo, as opposed to improv-ing on the spot like i used to (which was a little hit and miss). But, dangit! Why'd i have to make things hard? Anyway thanks! This was exactly what i needed. I would have no chance deciphering it on my own. Spent 2 1/2 hours on it. I'm so close, but a bit sloppy at tempo. So tired. Hopefully i have time to smooth it out tomorrow. And, hopefully i got the confidence to go for it at the moment of truth! :D
wow, I spent the afternoon with your 3-pt videos! I feel like I'm better by a year! Thanks for not hiding anything and sharing the music, man! I 'liked' and subscribed!
This is probably the best riff breakdown on youtube, and I've watched a lot of blues licks here. One thing I might meekly dare to add is that LH voicings could be a bit bluesier if you sometimes played C7 as E-A-Bb-D and F7 as Eb-A-D, as long as the root occasionally gets covered by you or the bassist. Most combinations of the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 9th (using the 5th less often) will sound great as blues substitutions for dominant 7s. Mess around with it, I'm sure you'd have no trouble at all.
Hey thanks for the tips. I've use those types of voicing in jazz mostly, but I'll have to try it more in the blues/funk stuff. Live I'll incorporate a lot more subs.. I like the F7 as Eb A G D to get that 9 sound in there, ya know? Thats what I love about advanced theory.. there's just so many layers and combinations to make it your own. Thanks for checking out the channel.. please come again.
Heck ya I use that same F7 voicing all the time! Wasn't being critical in the least, but piano players, myself included, when practicing alone will often play that root +5/6/7 to get that LH shuffle feel going. It's even good to do that solo. But I showed up to small jazz ensemble in college and did that, only to get a polite talking to that I've a bass player now and my style should change to match (lol). Subscribed as my RH needs the work and you've got that down better than I ever did.
Hey thanks a lot man. Yeah, there's aways gonna be unhappy people, that wanna shoot something down. I actually didn't notice it until you commented on it. No big deal..
What is wrong with the 3 people that gave this video a thumbs down? No seriously! What is wrong with your morons? This guy knows what he is talking about! I hope that those idiots that voted thumbs down never decide to take up playing the piano because they would never have the capability of playing the instrument.
this helped a lot....I played this with my band and actually have it posted on my page (check it out with my band Revolving Doors)...This will really help me nail it better...thank you..I did the solo with mainly just octaves, now I know what it does.....
Yeah, there's a sort of freedom you get when playing with a good bass player. You can think in terms of "ensemble chords" The bass and Piano are great musical manipulators, ya know?.. where one note can make all the difference. Gotta love shop talk. lol
This is my favorite piano music. I can hardly believe I have a chance to learn to play this...but here I am.

This is Jazz rock... not rock rock...
Man, that was one of the best lessons! Thank you SO much

Awesome lesson!! So clear and everything is there to play the lead!
Best tutorial I've tried yet! Thanks!
You are a super piano player. I've been playing for over 7 years and I'm not even close to your skill level. Amazing.
you are great...absolutely keep on showing us the way...THANKS
great work! I took up piano 3 years ago and this is one I'm obsessed with learning, thanks for the easy lesson!
Thanks for posting these. Throwing this tune together fast for a show next week and this is gonna help me a lot. Gotta do a tribute... RIP Joe :(
Huge thanks for this. It may be beyond my level, but this really breaks it down really well.
Fantastic tutorial. Gonna take my solo to another level.
Wicked! Thanks heaps. Just awesome!
Beautiful; again, thanks for sharing your expertise.

The funniest moment of my day will probably remain the laugh I got when I noticed that someone "disliked" this video.
