    Great tutorial. When I first learned that Nat King Cole was a jazz pianist, I was floored. Even more amazed at how accomplished he was.

  • @bachtube11

    Thank for this nice tutorial!
    Some info about the song I found:
    "The Christmas Song" by Bob Wells (most of the lyrics) and Mel Tormé (music and some of the lyrics)
    Robert Wells (born Robert Levinson, October 15, 1922 - September 23, 1998)
    was an American songwriter, composer, script writer and television producer.
    During his early career, he collaborated with singer and songwriter Mel Tormé,
    writing several hit songs, most notably "The Christmas Song" in 1945.
    But Bob Wells was not intending to write a christmas song,
    he even not tried to write any song, but instead was only writing some lyrics,
    in an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool" during a very hot summer in July 1945.
    This is what Mel Tormé recalled later about a blistering hot summerday in 1945,
    when he was visiting Bob Wells:
    "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells's) piano with four lines written in pencil.
    They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.'
    Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric.
    He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off.
    Forty minutes later that song was written.
    I (Mel Tormé) wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."

    Absolutely love ❤️❤️ I'm mostly a beginner, it would be super helpful if you could also add the timings for when you use the pedal. Much love 😊

    • @kenbagwell8551
      @kenbagwell8551 Рік тому

      The basic rule is, whenever you change the chord, reset the pedal (you probably know that) but with a jazz song having so many chord changes, just going by your ear may be the best option. You could also look at the lead sheet.

    Bro I just subbed because of all the D'Angelo stuff you put out. Mac Ayres "easy" and "slow down" might be worth checking out if you are looking for more songs.

    Thank you for the tutorial. Finally I learned the whole thing, it was a bit messy to get through, haha. Lots of noting down stuff in my own words... However I'm still really struggling with the part around 6:44 "Yuletide carols being sung by a choir (chromatic down) And folks dressed up like Eskimos"... How is that supposed to be played (rhythm)? You never showed it in the video😅

  • @WrighteousBrand
    @WrighteousBrand Рік тому

    Awesome lesson. Just found your channel. Are you able to change the color of the keys on the virtual piano when you’re playing the chords? The gray kinda blend in and was hard to see. Other than that amazing tutorial. Thank you so much.

  • @miguelrodfher

    Such a lovely song! But... can someone help beginner like me.. these cords are quite complex, move fast and omit some notes. What would be a path to be able to play like this and follow these lind of tutorials with ease? :D
