I'm from Cary Illinois, Styx played at the Crystal Lake High school often prior to making it big. When the album Styx II came out with "Lady" as a huge radio hit they played one last show at the high school and I was lucky enough to be there, something I'd never forget I was in the 8th grade. First time i ever heard this song (sailing away) it woke me up for school on the radio, what a great new song to wake up to.
Dude, you're the only person that I found who actually teaches the right way. You take your time in which I really appreciate. Thanks. Keep up the good work. I subscribed to your channel.
Thank You so much for this, I am 61 and want to get back playing the keyboards, I'm old and rusty but able and willing to play again! Have a great, safe and a musical day! You do this well!
I started learning this song from your clips back in April having never played the piano before. I can finally play the whole song now. When I first got hand independence, I was like a 5yo at Christmas (I’m around 10 times older than that though).
Probably the best basic piano tutorial I have seen, though this seems to be a basic song, using the c chord, and g chord. Using the left and right hand at the same time for a new comer (just learning) is complicated, but without the black keys, this is a song to sound impressive with minimal effort. Good video.
Thank you so much Dan - im learning this from you!! Love this song- my boyfriend has always been a piano player and singer so i guess seeing this and realizing its not impossible for me to learn i am going to let him teach me too- proud of you for being a piano player it takes talent and coordination
@@HDpiano ... thanks a lot for your reply :-) ... when I have 'relearned' this ... I'm gonna do 'Carry on my wayward son' and 'School' and 'Music'... we played a lot of somehow 'not so easy stuff' those days, but as you get older you forget a lot ... sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany ... and I'll keep on 'rocking' I promise :-) ... best wishes to all of you ... yours Mike :-) ...
Wooow that was an excellent lesson , Thank You so much Dan 🙏 still have the CD Styx’s live in Chicago feeling the great interaction of Dennis De Young and the Fans , Great vives unforgettable moments 🎹🎼
I learned the middle of this song by listening to homeless Donald Gould when I was young and after three years I learned the beginning thanks to you. (Weird order to learn in but it worked!)
Come Sail Away... Been trying to locate the rest of the song on your channel but can't find it. Great instruction.. Thx.. Got a ways to go on the timing of it..
You guys should do matchstick by American royalty! I love your videos and they have helped me grow so much as a piano player so thank you for all of your help!
Thanks for the request! Your best bet to having a request fulfilled is to Tweet it at us! Send it to @HDpiano using the hashtag #HDrequests, then browse the hashtag to see what other users are requesting! We still hear you on UA-cam, but your BEST bet will be to Tweet it at us. :)
You guys make a song that’ would be hard for me to learn somewhat easy. I’ve mastered the right hand but the left hand is tricky. I can’t even imagine playing them at the same time. I’m getting there though
One of my favorite practice techniques is "Slow Practice." It's a pretty simple concept: until you can play your hands together at a very slow speed, you won't be able to play them together any faster... so start slow and gradually increase the tempo after each successful pass. Here's a video we made overviewing the concept: ua-cam.com/video/TABhETyBVnM/v-deo.html
This is the only lesson and performance on UA-cam that is correct. It amazes me how bad all the others are especially the homeless man, he really sucks. Thanks for the accuracy.

I have just signed up and find your instruction very helpful. I know you have been stating you wish for people to make requests via twitter. I am not on twitter nor do I ever wish to be. Therefore I would like to know if you will take requests outside of twitter? Also, are you open to only specific types of requests, such as pop music? I have interests in quite a few songs that are not necessarily current pop hits but I think are fantastic piano pieces. I would like to learn how to play them. I am sure others might find them interesting also.
Ok, if you hear me then can you provide an alternate method outside of Twitter that I can use to request a song? For that matter, how about a means by which I can contact you for any reason. Your site lists a "contact" section but when you go to it the only choice I can make is to request a song on Twitter. You actually post this on your website: "If your question still hasn’t been answered in the FAQ above, please send us a detailed message below." Yet there is nothing "below" to allow me to do anything at all, let alone contact someone. Really?? So how about it? How can I communicate with you? Am I destined to try to do so through a public comment forum on UA-cam?

What a fun story! Thanks for sharing, John.

We're so glad you like what we do!
I saw Styx live a few days ago and it finally motivated me to play this song! Definitely my favorite by them.
A live performance always inspires.
Thank You so much for this, I am 61 and want to get back playing the keyboards, I'm old and rusty but able and willing to play again! Have a great, safe and a musical day! You do this well!
Wow, thanks so much for the positive energy! Thanks for learning with us!!
I'm 60 and a wanna be pianist.. Always good and encouraging once a new song is learned.. Much success to you..
