Beautiful! I’m a deaf musician - bassist - and I’ve always wanted to learn piano. This is one of my favorite songs so there’s no better place to start. Thanks for the great visual aid and breaking it down into small bites. Appreciate it!
Thank you! I am new to learning the piano and appreciate that you didn’t rush the process and that you explained what fingers to use. That’s one of my big challenges. Glad I found your channel!
As a piano hack (wannabe piano player), I played this on the piano for the first time just from watching your video. Incredibly clear, logical, and very musical instruction. Thank you++
I'd like to give you more thumbs up if I could. I am still practicing, but almost finished - and all thanks to your video. Imagine is an awesome song and this video is great for absolute beginners like myself. There are tricky parts, but with a little practice it is not a huge deal. Thank you very much and keep on making more of this great tutorials!
Great video. Love your teaching style. I'm going to plug in my M-Audio Axiom glorified USB dongle 61 key MIDI keyboard into my iMac M1 and start practicing again 👍 P.S. "A Saucerful of Secrets" by Pink Floyd pipe organ version is my practicing go to as it has a nice variety of chords 👍
Newbie ,WOW! instant SUB! Love the way you teach and your app is Great for beginners. Seems like you are an old soul living in young body😁 would love some Pink floyd songs Great gig in the sky , wish you were here comfortably numb......and all Greatest 70 songs....Im sure your channel will grow a lot ,cause all the babies boomers out there would love to learn. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent🙏 Greetings from Québec 🇨🇦 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I started to touch the piano key yesterday at age 56; someone bought me a small piano for my birthday. Never thought of playing piano. I used to play guitar. Your explanation let me play this song in less than an hour... but I need more practice. I must put a sticky note on the key to remember the position. Good job to you.
Found this channel by accident, great tutorials Pierre. Also a big Beato fan, must have missed the episode you were on. Just went back and found it...amazing skills.
Thanks for the video, just a suggestion but it may help to count out the tune for example 1 and 2 and etc, and maybe block the chords out first before adding in the movement. Thanks again, saw you on Rick Beato by the way, great ears !
Great tutorial ! Obviously there is an option to play octaves in the left hand rather than playing C, F etc with the right thumb. Is one method better than the other or just personal preference ?
Hello Pierre. I'm not a pianist but for my ears, Keith Emerson is one of the greatest modern players of the last half century. What are your thoughts on Keith?
That could lead to copyright issues. I teach in sections so that you have everything you need to put the song together! It's a great mental exercise for the student as well, to understand the form or roadmap of a song.
A tip for lazy newbies .... I think it sounds just as good to leave out the middle note (G) on the fourth chord played by the right hand. And it's a simpler transition for aging hands!
Yes, indirectly. I think that we are all listening for "something" that we like within the music. Being fascinated with melody, harmony, texture etc. while I listen actively, sort of throws lyrics by the wayside. I couldn't tell you a single word from songs that I've heard 1000 times!

I just learned about you on the Rick Beato’s video.
Love this song so much. It is a great piano instruction ( I’m a bass player).

Ah the Beato whip! A good addition. Hope this gets thousands of likes

What a great tutorial! It’s already coming together for me. You made it so accessible.
Yes!! 🔥 Glad to hear it.
Finally i found a right way to learn piano
This is so easy to learn thank you for this 😊😊😊

Do it!! Love that album and love Pink Floyd 👍
@@pierrejpiscitelli The "Live at Pompeii" 1972 version is my favourite and shows how the song evolved by being played live 👍🥰
Thank you so much, really great. Grazie mille
Prego!

Some musicians say that after the a-Bb-b phrase apears now and then a slight d with the following C cord making it a C9. Right?
Exactly right! Most simplified ways of teaching the song omit that.
I really like the way this tutorial is presented. I'm inspired, I have a Fender Rhodes gathering dust that is now going to get dusted off.
@@modonnell9284 I’m so glad! Never sell it- enjoy!

Yes sometimes I do that actually! Thanks for checking it out 🙏🏻
great !!! ///////////what hardware piano use on vst??
Yamaha CFX from Garritan. I love it!!
@@pierrejpiscitelli Thanks for the reply !! but I'm interested a physical piano, which piano do you use? I don't know which key bed to choose
@@johnnylong2023 oh yes, I misread. Yamaha CP40 and Yamaha CP73!
great tutorial, can you give us the sheet music for this piece please? thank you :)
😊
Great tutorial ! Obviously there is an option to play octaves in the left hand rather than playing C, F etc with the right thumb. Is one method better than the other or just personal preference ?
Doesn’t matter much, I’d say personal preference!
Hello Pierre. I'm not a pianist but for my ears, Keith Emerson is one of the greatest modern players of the last half century. What are your thoughts on Keith?
Keith is one of my biggest heroes. I am a massive ELP fan and was totally gutted when he passed away.
@@pierrejpiscitelli I couldn’t agree more. Incredible loss. Take A Pebble is one of those songs that just never ceases to amaze.
thanks to Rick Beato also
As an added bonus, would you mind playing the whole song at every end of the tutorial? Thanks.
That could lead to copyright issues. I teach in sections so that you have everything you need to put the song together! It's a great mental exercise for the student as well, to understand the form or roadmap of a song.
A tip for lazy newbies .... I think it sounds just as good to leave out the middle note (G) on the fourth chord played by the right hand. And it's a simpler transition for aging hands!
"I'm bad with lyrics." -- do you think that is related in some way to the perfect pitch?
Yes, indirectly. I think that we are all listening for "something" that we like within the music. Being fascinated with melody, harmony, texture etc. while I listen actively, sort of throws lyrics by the wayside. I couldn't tell you a single word from songs that I've heard 1000 times!
Thanks much better on the piano I play guitar I am learning at 74 a new instrument's ... piano
I've played this incorrectly for 30 years, from sheet music. Have to unlearn it.
