    Great tutorial of an even greater song Paul!
    I play it on guitar but it's clearly a piano song (the pre chorus is fantastic and you nailed it) but the angst does come across rather well with an electric guitar... great message too (even more appropriate today).
    You've inspired me to finally get a keyboard and take full advantage of your abundance mentality!

    Hey Paul. Thank you! Like a previous comment said. I appreciate your simple approach to teaching this song. I learned it relatively quickly. For more years than you've probably even been alive, I've wanted to learn this song, and now I have. Really happy about that! I'm going to look to see now if you teach 'What a fool believes." If you do. … cool. If not, please do soon!

    Hi Paul, Great job! Now...THIS is how a tutorial should be done. i am a bassist by trade and degree, but, I have a limited piano background and I just picked up a cool Yamaha electric grand from 1978! It's a cool piano and I would like to learn some tunes, therefore, I took to UA-cam to see what I could find. A lot of guys just show vids of themselves play a tune at performance tempo and call it a tutorial...LOL, yeah...not so. Your style of breaking down the parts and naming the notes as you go along...SLOWLY, works great for me! Thanks bro! If you could do Minute by Minute and What a Fool Believes in the same manner, I would be very appreciative! If not, no worries...Takin it To the streets will keep me busy enough for awhile! Thanks again! I am now a subscriber to your channel! I should do a channel for bass video lessons. Thanks! Kurt

    • @paulcorgan
      @paulcorgan  7 років тому +1

      Thanks for the comment, Kurt. Glad you liked it! I find the same thing all the time haha "lessons" where it's just a slow video or it's poorly explained. I also see a lot of teachers on UA-cam just start teaching the song and then in the end their version of it is terrible and you've wasted time. Anyways, sounds like a cool piano and that's great you're getting into playing again. I'll take a look at doing that tune too - another good one. Thanks for the sub and take (it to the streets) care haha

    This is an awesome tutorial for a really rich and interesting song. It's pretty tough to combine the bass line with the chord voicings if one is trying to learn this (accurately!) on guitar.

  • @rbraet
    @rbraet 10 років тому +1

    Hey Paul... Bro!!! That's an extremely nice (and generous) tutorial. You really put together the most important parts of learning a new song in what I think is the most efficient way possible. The only thing I wanted to note was that there is a chord being voiced significantly differently than His Highness McDonald does (I really dig that dude!). It's at the end of the pre-chorus where the lyrics goes "things you're gonna' do for me." When you get to the five (G) on "for me," that's actually a 4 over 5 (F right hand over G left hand). Just being more clear for anyone reading the comments who doesn't know what I mean. Generally speaking, stay away from that B natural in this song (in this key, at least) to keep the black gospel sound. :) But man, nice work, though... thank you for posting!

  • @dynamitecreekvet

    Ive seen 3-4 lessons on the intro / verse chords and they're all different. I suspect its because MM played it a few different ways in the same song

    Hey, I have watched this over and over. Actually bought the sheet music but I like yours best. I am a visual person and have been playing since I was 4 years old. I laughed and cried, that I found someone that could explain and show me what was actually happening.GREAT tutorial. BTY. You have some great feet. I studied art at university and I drew hands and feet. I received an A for my drawings as feet and hands are the most complicated. I thank you for your information and skills. Also who would have thought it PEG? One of my favorites. Or as we say in the south (Tennessee) who'd a thunk it?..You have to say it fast to get the true vernacular of the peasantry. BIG FAN! Thanks. Dave Toronto Canada. Cheers

    • @paulcorgan
      @paulcorgan  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for the comment, Dave! I am visual learner too, so I wanted to teach in a way that I would want to learn. Glad it worked for you!

    • @davidperkins8768

    video starts at 0:55. Good tutorial but after watching it a few times and trying to figure out why it was so hard to watch, I finally realized, the shadows on the keys make it hard to see what key is being pressed. An overhead light would have really helped this. Also, say what chord names are and the inverions. Doesn't matter if people don't know what that is, they need to learn it. "which is a D uhhh and a G uh.... and a uh B" = G Maj 2nd inversion!!!!!!!

    @jcowan001 no problem, and you're right but i think it's the last chord in the prechorus (or maybe it's both). Thanks for watching!
