Not bad! Nice and simple as he promised.. good job man! Just no one does better than Elvis Presley! Good lesson tho! Thanks for the tips Sir! Keep it up with more pop famous songs! 🔥🌠🔥🌠🔥
So glad you liked it. Hopefully you can find some other helpful videos on my channel. Please let me know if you have a song you’d like to learn. Thank you and God bless!
Tysm!! Makes me feel like a fast learner 😂 but literally it was just you who carried it out nicely.. my aunt better make a move and find a lover so I can play this on her wedding day 🙄 Idk but this man kinda looks like Hugh Jackman (wolverine) ✌️😭 THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL THO
Good teacher cause he is very detailed step by step with out rushing anything! His piano keyboard lights up when letters played ,. Very helpful! Do more famous POP songs man! 💵🫑💵🫑💵
Wonderful! I've just learned from you and I can say now I can be able to play the chords and sing along after 1/2 hour of practicing. Thank you for sharing the video.
I'm a late bloomer and my kids did all the piano lessons for 10+ yrs and now I'm trying to plink out Beatles tunes. Great tutorial for a guy like me with no rhythm. Love how you taught the 6/8 and rolling idea. I can never get my left hand going together with my right hand. God Bless you for taking the time to make these videos. Your a great teacher! P.S. What the F* chord? Does the asterisk mean something?
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you! The asterisk after the F appears at the bottom of the chord chart and says that Dm could be used in place of F at that point. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Very fine, thank you; I had that piece of simplified piano, nice too, but yours is more musical and a step higher; I have all of you in my practise list.
Thank you!!! Took me 2.5 hours to learn it.. As a beginner and also transposing it at the same time in G major cz it where my voice could handle it... Hahaha
@@pianobyaaron since my last comment i ve got the verses down 85% and im on the chorus now a little trickier bc the chords are less familiar! What im hoping is soon ill be able to look at whatever song on ultimate guitar and figure out all the comfy inversions and all that jazz. Thats how you do it right you just feel it out until you get it?
That’s terrific! Great job! Yes, when it comes to learning a new song from Ultimate Guitar you look through the chords and decide on the best way through the chords based on which inversions make it the most fluid. Another consideration is the quality of sound based on the voicing, sometimes an inversion will have a different quality that works better with the song. All this together informs the best way to play through the chords. I hope that helps. Thanks again for watching and God bless!
@@pianobyaaron oh of course, true!!! Like the F on “wise men say ONLY fools”, vs the F on “FALLING in love with” just lots of experimentation until you get used to it I guess. Thanks mate! Rock on. Can I do a song request here? If you did “across the universe” by The Beatles that would be so so cool. And maybe topical too given their recent doco!
I love that song! Great suggestion! I can totally do a tutorial on that one. And great timing, like you said, because of the documentary. Just finished watching it. So good! Very inspiring to see them work the way they did and learn from their creative process. I’ll let you know when I get “Across the Universe” put together. Cheers!
This guy is a genius. Not only break down the chords and make it easy but also sharing the source where you can find chord for a song in a guitar chord website. Anyway, i have a question. How you figure out the chord C to be C in the 2nd interval form which is G-C-E instead of the normal C-E-G? Thank you. Very nice tutorial
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. About chord inversions, you can arrange the chord in 3 different inversions. C-E-G which is root position, E-G-C which is first inversion and then G-C-E, as you mentioned, which is 2nd inversion. Notice that all three inversions use the same three notes (C, E, and G). The C Major chord is made of those 3 notes in any arrangement. The reason to use one inversion over another depends on what notes you are coming from or going to. Using only root chords will mean you need to move your hand a lot. Using inversions allows you to be more efficient in how much you need to move your hand. You can find a video on my channel on chord inversions that I made which may also help. I hope this brings some clarity. Please let me know if you’d like me to explain it another way. Thanks again and God bless!
Agreed! This video was made before I had the capability to do that. I am considering making an updated version which would show the hands. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you Mr.Aaron it was great and easy to learn and it helped me learn few chords. Can you also please make a video on the song "My heart will go on" as that song is really liked by everyone.
dont forget to be realistic - you will need to do some work whichever method you use for becoming a pianist I've been researching into teaching yourself piano and discovered a great website at Denelle Piano Lesson (check it out on google)
Gibson SG Yes, for the start I share a resource I hope is helpful. Thanks for sticking with it! I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for watching and God bless you!
Using the same technique from your tutorial , now i play Unchained Melody since much easier. Next target will be "I have nothing" by Whitney and harder ones like "thousand years" by Christina Perri and Memory from Cats which to me they are in 6/8. I hope you can do tutorial for common method for 4/4 too.
That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing how the technique has been working for you! I love that you are applying it to other songs. I have done some similar things for songs in 4/4. I know my video on Revelation Song does. And others like Let It Be or Imagine also. I will keep this in mind for my next video as well. Thank you!
Hi guys I'm new to piano and was wondering how did he know when to play 2nd inversions of chords and when to play normal? Am I missing something or is it just experience? Thanks
Great question! The reason to use inversions is to make the transitions between the chords easier to play. I have a video on chord inversions on my channel if you’d like to check it out. You can think of it like this... if you are going from a C Major chord, which is C-E-G, to an E minor chord, which is E-G-B, you could move your whole hand from the C Major to the E minor to play them normal (the technical term is Root Position) OR you could use an inversion and just move one finger from the C note to the B note. The notes would look like this: C Major in Root position (C-E-G) to E minor in 2nd inversion (B-E-G). This works because the C Major chord has the E and the G in it which are also shared with the E minor chord. The only difference between the two chords is the one note. That’s why inversions are helpful. I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Thanks for making this video. Its my first song and starting as a complete beginner, a month and I have learned to play it quite well, except for the note lengths and the rests, so it sounds reasonably good but is still a long way from sounding as it should. Is there a midi file available to help me with the timing? I am close but far. Thanks again.
Hello again! I just posted a video for Moon River using the piano roll. I’m currently working on a tutorial to teach an easy way to play the song. I hope you find them helpful!
I’m just learning piano, and I’m picking up the chords fairly well. But I’m having issues with the tempo. Could you (or anyone else) point me in the direction of a version with this 6/8? I always hear the 1/2 version (like Haley Reinhart) Or if you could record it I’d be truest grateful. Please and thank you.
Thank You so much! This is a great beginners video for those learning to play as well :) Would it be possible to make a similar video teaching the song "Yellow" By coldplay?
So glad you enjoyed the video. I love the song Yellow by Coldplay. I’ll look at that for a video. Thank you so much for watching and for the suggestion. God bless!
Thankyou so mucchh mr. Aaron, its so great and easy to learn, and i already subscribe your channel. Can i request another chord song like skater davis song "the end of the world" or mayumi itsuwa "kokoronotomo" thats song is easy to Sing same like cant help falling in love. Thankyou so much, god bless you :)
Hello! It took a while but I have a tutorial for Oceans schedule to release tomorrow, 12/29 at 11AM PST. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the suggestion!
What chords are played in the intro of the song right before the lyrics start? Also, right before the lyrics start in the recorded song there are 6 notes played higher up on the keyboard. Would you happen to know what notes they are? I'll be performing this live so I want to nail it as close as possible. Thank you so much for your tutorials and your kindness!
Hello! Thanks for watching and commenting. What version of the song are you listening to? Elvis? Let me know and I can help you with the chords and notes. I am excited to help you prepare to play it live!
@Jay Bird Ok, cool! First, just know the Elvis recording is in the key of D so it is a little different than the key of C from my video. To truly get the sound of the Elvis version you would need to play it in D, but I’ll explain it in C so it matches my video which you’ve already been using. Start with a C in the bass with your left hand. In your right hand, play a C in first inversion (which is stacked like this from the left: E - G - C). Use this inversion to roll through the chord in the way taught in my video, bottom-middle-top-middle. Then, the second chord is a G chord. To play it like they do in the song, play a B note in the left hand and in your right hand play a G chord in second inversion (from the left: D - G - B) rolled through again, bottom, middle, top, middle. Finally go back to the C chord again and roll through, just like the first chord. The last 6 notes that you mentioned are what’s called an arpeggio. An arpeggio is when you play through a chord and then jump to another inversion and play through it. So for this, we just played the first inversion (E-G-C) in our right hand, when we finish that we are going to jump to the 2nd inversion C chord (G-C-E) but only roll down from the top (so it would be E-C-G with our pinky on the E), then jump up to C in root position (C-E-G) and roll from the top again with your pinky on G. I hope that makes sense. Again, the recording is in D so it won’t match up perfect but I can explain it in D if you’d like. Please let me know if you need more clarity. Thanks again!
Ok, good! The only other element I was gonna add was that your hands should be close together when you start. Your left hand on the C and then your right hand on the E just above it. This will mean when you finish the arpeggios you are in position for the rest of the song as covered in the video. Thanks for watching and God bless!
@Isabel Sugabo Great question! The chord is the same because the notes are the same. Both are C-E-G. The difference is the order of the notes (for example G-C-E), which we call an inversion. To be more specific, C-E-G is called C Major in Root Position. While G-C-E is called C Major in 2nd inversion. But both would be considered C Major chords.
It will sound different, but only slightly. It is an artistic choice. Inversions of chords are used for their sound and also for their convenience in moving from one chord to another. For example, in this song you go from C Major to E minor, or C-E-G to E-G-B. Notice that two of the notes are the same (E and G). If I play them in Root Position, the way I’ve just written them, then I need to lift up my whole hand and move it. However, if I play C-E-G (root position) and then B-E-G (2nd inversion) I only have to move one finger, from C to B. That is the benefit of using inversions. I hope that makes sense. Regarding sound, I find that a 2nd inversion C Major chord, built off the G below Middle C, has a deeper and richer sound which I prefer over C Major in root position built on Middle C.
Hello Zina! The Em stands for E minor and the Am stands for A minor. They are the chords which follow the C major chord in the song. An E minor is spelled E-G-B. This song uses an inversion of the chord. An A minor is spelled A-C-E. An inversion is used in this song as well. I hope that answers your question. If not, please let me know and maybe you can clarify exactly what you mean. Thanks for watching!
Hi Aaron, this is a great tutorial. If I may ask, at 5:40 isn’t that a B7 instead of a Bmaj7 ? Can you please clarify? Wouldn’t the major 7 of B , bflat or a sharp. Thank you in advance.
Hi Charlie! Good to hear from you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. And, yes, you are right. That is a B7 not a Bmaj7. I misspoke. Thanks for catching that. The Bmaj7 would have an A sharp, like you said. I should have said B dominant 7, or just B7. Thanks for watching and God bless!
I’m just sharing a resource. I am not getting anything from the website. Jump to 2:00 for the start of the song if you’re not interested in the resource.

For example, in this song you go from C Major to E minor, or C-E-G to E-G-B. Notice that two of the notes are the same (E and G). If I play them in Root Position, the way I’ve just written them, then I need to lift up my whole hand and move it. However, if I play C-E-G (root position) and then B-E-G (2nd inversion) I only have to move one finger, from C to B. That is the benefit of using inversions. I hope that makes sense. Regarding sound, I find that a 2nd inversion C Major chord, built off the G below Middle C, has a deeper and richer sound which I prefer over C Major in root position built on Middle C.
@@pianobyaaron Great. Thank you for explaining appreciate it.
You’re welcome! All the best in your musical journey. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Hello, Why It's 'Em' 'Am' after C? Can you please explain?
Hello Zina! The Em stands for E minor and the Am stands for A minor. They are the chords which follow the C major chord in the song. An E minor is spelled E-G-B. This song uses an inversion of the chord. An A minor is spelled A-C-E. An inversion is used in this song as well. I hope that answers your question. If not, please let me know and maybe you can clarify exactly what you mean. Thanks for watching!

hi
What kind of pattern is that
I call it a rolling pattern because you “roll” from the bottom to the top and back again. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and God bless you!
Hi Aaron, this is a great tutorial. If I may ask, at 5:40 isn’t that a B7 instead of a Bmaj7 ? Can you please clarify? Wouldn’t the major 7 of B , bflat or a sharp. Thank you in advance.
Hi Charlie! Good to hear from you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. And, yes, you are right. That is a B7 not a Bmaj7. I misspoke. Thanks for catching that. The Bmaj7 would have an A sharp, like you said. I should have said B dominant 7, or just B7. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Hi Aaron, thank you so much for writing back. I appreciate it.
Wrong key
Not worth watching, just selling
I’m just sharing a resource. I am not getting anything from the website. Jump to 2:00 for the start of the song if you’re not interested in the resource.
