Dave Mason tune, and Stevie Winwood developed the original piano line......embellished by joe Cocker's keyboard guy. Thanks again........for the breakdown.
Thanks Tyler for taking the time to show in great detail this song and all the others you take the time and energy to post. I will add that your versions are to me exactly as the originals are. Great job and please keep posting. I'm am old guy however I love this type of music and try my best to play them with your great direction.Thanks again Nino
Just listened to many Live renditions deciding how Im gonna arr. this and Im SEW GLAD to have found your CH !. I knew there'd be tuts out there depicting this riffage but Your teachin style and "musician speak" really hits home with me. Enjoyed your improv riffage as well.Gonna really allow this to come together MUCH quicker. (than Me with Mr "Amazing Slowdower"..(hey , Im a drummer ...ok..?..LOLOL).Thanks for your time!
Thanks a lot man. These songs are a lot of fun to play, and this one in particular is not that hard. If your Son ever ends up learning it, maybe he could teach it to you. Never too late to learn. Thanks again
I've been working on playing this song for a month and was stuck on the solo..Great tutorial, 'nails it very close. I really like your pace and teaching style (vid is a bit too dark though). I can't wait to see what else you have posted. Thx so much Tyler!
You seem VERY! excited about this. It's a C9 chord.. you can voice it any way you like. Most people just starting to learn piano need the easy approach.
Wow, I can never get to a keyboard except at rehearsal, so I have to listen to mp3 and work it all out in my head. This video really gets it across -- you break it down so neatly, and with patience that I don't recall experiencing from a rock/jazz/popular music teacher (a long time since I've had a lesson, but I don't think my memory is that bad yet).
Got ya. I just listen to it and Its the same notes.. C G C with a little different phrasing. He also plays a little bit of that piano break down at the end of the solo in there too. This is a good starting point. For anyone interested in learning the song note for note, they could than play along with the track and pick out the riffs and rhythms. Good luck, let me know if this helps at all.
Noticing that the verse riff uses intervals of a sixth, or one whole step up from a perfect fifth. That's an interval I haven't practiced, but seems to be the secret sauce for this sound.
Nice man, I'm happy I could help. Yeah, the vid was a little dark, I lightened it up a bit with video enhancement. Didn't know I could do that. Thanks again
I'd be interested in learning your source for the Steve Winwood credit. It is generally acknowledged that Artie Butler was the author of this great riff and I believe it was played by Chris Stainton on the record. Nice tutorial, by the way!
Yeah you're right. I use that 60's ep for "I Am The Walrus" dead ringer. I like that one organ #25 its a good distorted prog rock/funk organ ya know. I'd still trade all the other sounds for one good Rhodes though. But I have to say.. in the 6 years that I've owned and gigged with it, I haven't had one problem.. and I give it a beating sometimes.
Thanks man. I'm just playing a Casio Privia. Great for the piano sounds but not much else. I'm actually saving for an upgrade myself. Looking at the Nord Electro 3 hp for gigs, but they're so expensive. Also keeping an eye out for a used Roland Rd 300 gx ,or 700 sx. They offer some pretty decent expansion cards to get different sounds.
Are you talking about this 5:26 the bass line walk up? If not, let me know what part of the video you're referring to, and I'll be happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Great vid. I also have the Privia, and I'd add that there are a few other sounds that are ok. The bass and all key instruments (clavichord, marimba, rhodes "60's piano") are pretty good except for the organs (the "70's organ" is based on the Hammond B3 but I think it falls a bit short). Strings, brass, woodwinds, not so much. And yeah, I think a used 700sx would be the way to go for you. For me though, I'm picking up piano again after a decade long break and cheaper is prolly better.
I love almost everything about this lesson, but it needs the name of the great pianist who composed and played this piece, and was the musical director of the band that became known as Mad Dogs and Englishmen. It was Leon Russell. Joe Cocker was the singer.
THIS IS GREAT! I'll try to learn this. Could you put the tutorial for "Short people" by Randy Newman and "Big Momma America" by Paul McCartney on, please? ...or maybe are they too much simple and easy? :) thanks for this!!
Right from the start your missing an important part of the riff which is not C2 G2 C3 but rather C2 G2 Bb4--->(thats played in the thumb on the right hand)
Tyler, I wanted to thank you for this and all your other great videos. I tried writing out as best I could the basic tune: www.bobbydayfakebook.com/music/master%20folder/6Volume%20Six%20-%20Fakebook/JPGs/C2_Feeling%20Alright.jpg and the instrumental part: www.bobbydayfakebook.com/music/master%20folder/6Volume%20Six%20-%20Fakebook/JPGs/C3_Feeling%20Alright%20II.jpg Again Thanks! Bobby Day
Excited? Accuracy doesn't dissolve into excited my friend. I've spoken to Chris Stainton about this years ago and confirmed the position. Many years later I spoke to Leon about it who said the same thing. You can certainly present it however you like, but if you listen to Mad Dogs and Englishmen carefully, you'll hear it.
LoL.. nice! Next time I talk to Joe Cocker I'll ask him if he gives a shit...lol.. just kidding. In all seriousness, it's cool to be analytical about music, and I thank you for taking the time, but your approach was a bit dorky. I'm sorry I don't share the same passion for poking and prodding. Discussing the right chord inversion is a bit like arguing semantics. At what point do we stop examining and just play.
Thanks for this brilliant three part tutorial Tyler, it is still helping us keys players 10 years on! What a great tune as well
Thank you for your generosity and for taking the time to help others like me....this is SO HELPFUL!
Without a doubt, the BEST video transcript on the Internet. Bravo!
Dave Mason tune, and Stevie Winwood developed the original piano line......embellished by joe Cocker's keyboard guy. Thanks again........for the breakdown.
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen and far away the best one of this song! Nicely done Tyler. Thanks for Paying it Forward man!!!!
Thanks Tyler for taking the time to show in great detail this song and all the others you take the time and energy to post. I will add that your versions are to me exactly as the originals are.

Sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing; my boy has been playing piano for a few years now and I hope he will pick up on one of my favorite tunes.
Thank you. The way you play it sounds more like the record than others I have seen.
Great lesson. This is the only song that ever made me want to learn piano. This may actually get there
I like your teaching style. Very useful stuff! Thanks!
This is really great! Thank you!
You are an amazing teacher!

Sounds great to me 👍
Great tutorial, my friend. Thank you very much. Please keep going.

You're INCORRECT! The first chord begins with the thumb on the Bflat and has a G on the top.
You seem VERY! excited about this. It's a C9 chord.. you can voice it any way you like. Most people just starting to learn piano need the easy approach.
Wow, I can never get to a keyboard except at rehearsal, so I have to listen to mp3 and work it all out in my head.

Thanks for the help. Great Job.
Nice. Thanks for the help.
love this so cool, and funky,bluesy, it would be nice to see a tutorial on The Letter by Joe Cocker, and Treat(Instrumental) Santana

Joe Cocker was the singer.
It was actually Artie Butler
good teaching! what kind of a piano are you playing? I’m shopping for a stage piano and leaning towards Roland..
I would move (invert) the G an octave higher on the right hand and the F too (on the F chord).
THIS IS GREAT! I'll try to learn this. Could you put the tutorial for "Short people" by Randy Newman and "Big Momma America" by Paul McCartney on, please? ...or maybe are they too much simple and easy? :) thanks for this!!
This is so great! Thank you. Do you take requests? I am struggling with learning Loving Cup by the Stones, particularly the intro.
5:00
How can I obtain the entire partition
How do you mean? The chorus is the same chords with a slightly different comping pattern.
sorry ..should be more specific...does the left hand follow the bass line during the chrous?
Where are you based? Accepting lessons?
Right from the start your missing an important part of the riff which is not C2 G2 C3 but rather C2 G2 Bb4--->(thats played in the thumb on the right hand)
Tyler, I wanted to thank you for this and all your other great videos. I tried writing out as best I could the basic tune:

dude whats the story with the chrous part???
Excited? Accuracy doesn't dissolve into excited my friend. I've spoken to Chris Stainton about this years ago and confirmed the position. Many years later I spoke to Leon about it who said the same thing. You can certainly present it however you like, but if you listen to Mad Dogs and Englishmen carefully, you'll hear it.
.... played by Leon Russell - not Cocker!
MaryNell and cableaddict - not Leon Russell. It was Artie Butler.

Leon voices it with a g on top.Just sayin. It will sound more like the record.
